The manager’s verdict
“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Sergio Ferreira kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

No hiding place for Nils Mortimer
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Nils Mortimer, and the manager let it.

The form table has caught Getterson Alves
Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.
