attacking both collected fantastic goals open played teams three
It was a very open game, both teams had a go and we played some fantastic attacking football. We should have had more goals but we collected another three points. The most important thing is we keep winning, and you never know where that will take us.
conference good
This is good for football. Burton have done the Conference proud.
miles second
I'm going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don't fly. They're the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over - so it's teamwork.
fortune goal good nice second
I think the first goal was a nice one-two with good play from Ruud and Quinton Fortune but that second goal was superb.
celtic early goal helped looked
I think that early goal helped Celtic a lot. We looked all right at times, but we need to make some changes.
listen people position
He is in a very influential position and I think people do listen to what he has got to say.
adequate believe brown experience john played vital
Gary's experience is vital to us. He has been such an important player...but I believe we have adequate cover, Wes Brown has played there many times and so has John O'Shea.
chelsea liverpool losing needed point tough
After losing to Liverpool and Blackburn it was going to be very tough today. Chelsea only needed a point and they got it.
irish massive roy situation
Roy is the same. There has been speculation that he is going to Celtic, that he has had a massive bust-up with me and that the Irish situation has been a problem. It hasn't been.
chelsea happen next slip team
You never know what can happen in football. Chelsea could slip up and if they do we want to be the team that's next to them.
form forward great looking moment
We're in great form at the moment and looking forward to every match.
loyalty believe opportunity
I realized I was good at developing young people. Eventually I started to believe in young people. I think when you give a young person an opportunity, he always believes who gave him his first chance. You create a loyalty that lasts a lifetime.
decision difficult meet name picked team time
This was not a decision we wanted to make. But every time I picked the team and Phil's name was not on the team sheet, it was very difficult for me. You couldn't meet a better professional.
hatred manchester-united presses
They (the press) have a hatred of Manchester United.
