"We made a conscious effort in the second half to get as many shots off as we could and get as many crosses into the box. When Brian unleashed that at the end, it was too hot to handle and Danny was there to pick the bits up."

"I couldn't see whether the penalty was in the box or not, obviously the ref thought it was, but it was a definite push in the back. We got the penalty and Paul Hayes took it. I think they are doing this on purpose as we never seem to know who's going to take the penalty. After training yesterday every single one of us had a penalty. We went through about 25 and I actually missed one, so it was a good job I wasn't on the pitch!"

"I think ironically, we were in a better position than Huddersfield before the game. I actually felt that being one down may have been a better result than being one up, it became a dilemma for them whether to come at us or not. At the start they did, and we weathered that pretty well and I thought that we were in control. It was another excellent game for TV and the fans but I'm just elated for everybody at the Club. I'm sure we will all enjoy our day out."

"It's the best thing I've ever done in my managerial career and hopefully it won't be the last."

"Swansea now in the final, and it's a one off game, it's 90 minutes and we've got as good a chance as them, they will think they can beat us and I'm sure we believe we can beat them. We should have beat them at our place, apart from letting in that late goal. They are a good side and me and Rick know Kenny very well, he's a good bloke and I'm sure we will all enjoy our day down there."
