MANAGERS COMMENTS
Manager Patrick Cregg was delighted with his sides' performance in the 4-1 victory over Wick Academy on Saturday. He said,
"All credit to the lads, I thought we were very good again and we played at a good tempo - it was a real joy to watch at times. They are playing with a swagger and they are clearly enjoying themselves. They embraced the game and showed their quality for large parts."
Striker Dayle Robertson grabbed his first-trick for the Club, with Cregg adding,
"Dayle has been absolutely invaluable for us - he leads the line and he is getting goals for us. Seth was excellent again and was a real anchor in the middle of the park and was always looking for the ball. However every player to a man was really good including the lads that came on. It doesn't matter whether you start the game or come on as a sub, you still have an opportunity to affect the game and that's what the subs have been doing. It's very difficult picking a team because it's so competitive at the minute.
"We can enjoy the result but it's important we regroup for Wednesday and Saturday coming up."
