Chris Davies' summary of the display

Clean sheet again, four goals, a good controlled performance. I liked the way we approached it. We tried to start on the front foot and there was patience there. I wanted the players to be calm and confident in their game and understand that it would require a little bit of patience. The fans played their part in that, there was a nice feeling inside the stadium.

It was the 34th minute we scored our goal. It was a press to score moment. Really switched on, concentrated organisation, they didn't hardly have any passes. It was a great example of how you can have the ball and try to create chances but sometimes the opposition is at their most vulnerable when they’ve got it if you can win it back and go forward quickly. They were really tuned into the press, everyone did their job and it was a quick release from Tomoki (Iwata) to Jay (Stansfield) to Patrick (Roberts), winger to winger - goal. We went on from there. We showed a good side of us.
