“I’m not fussed if it’s home or away. It’s nice to tick a stadium that I haven’t played at, but home or away, we’ll be happy. We’ve got to win the next game and get through to the third round.”

After their win against Weston-super-Mare, he added:“I think that shows the strength and depth we’ve got in the squad. In a lot of games this season, the subs have come on, have been really important and won us points. I’m buzzing for (Grant) Ward; it was a great finish at the end.”
