Cooper: Relieved to get a first win in seven league games

Talking to the press after the match, Cooper said, "I'm very relieved, there's no hiding the fact that it's been hard.

"I'm really pleased with the players, it's a massive result and a massive performance and I'm especially pleased with how the back four performed. We've been working hard on that.

"I thought it was going to be one of those nights. They seemed to be riding their luck and you start to think they will go up the park and get something.

"But I impressed on the players it was important not to give away anything at the back.

"It was hard because the pressure was building and that's why I'm so pleased.

"I can't fault their work-rate but the quality needs to be better, I still think certain players didn't play as well as they can."
