00:00 Proud, obviously a massive result today, just want to get your thoughts on, you know, badly

00:04 needed three points I think it's fair to say.

00:05 Yeah, I just heard there was a first win in I think 19 games in the league or whatever

00:08 so it's unbelievable for us to get a win and at this time of season there's seven games

00:13 left so we'll just build on it from here and again as I said it was brilliant seeing the

00:17 fans celebrating like that, unbelievable.

00:19 Good for yourself to get off the mark as well, I know you had an earlier chance, didn't go

00:23 your way but you got a second chance at it and you found the target.

00:26 That's what the boys said, the boys said I went in and I missed that one, I should have

00:29 scored but I made up for it and that's all that counts.

00:30 I think it did hit a bobble on the way up there but I'll take the gold and good to get

00:35 off the mark.

00:36 Yeah, absolutely and look obviously it's been a difficult season, a difficult period for

00:39 Nuri, you come in as one of the six January sign-ins and how have you found that getting

00:43 in?

00:44 Obviously you're here, you have a clear job to do to keep Nuri in the division and is

00:47 it tough at the minute with the dressing room or how do you sort of view it?

00:50 No, I'm just happy to be back in the Premiership and playing after a couple of months, maybe

00:54 18 months away from it.

00:55 I came in positive and the boys, relatively far the boys have been positive, the change

01:00 of management maybe lifted a few boys as well but we all believe we're good enough, all

01:04 the boys are good enough and I think if we win the next couple of games, game by game,

01:08 I think we'll just give it our all and we'll go from there.

01:12 Yeah and obviously coming in under Barry Gray, of course following him up from Warren Point,

01:15 you have faith that Barry and his coaching staff can keep yous up?

01:19 Yeah, from what we've seen, the change of play as well has been a bit better, we're

01:23 passing it out more, we're trying to play a bit of football and I think it showed today

01:26 at times, we'll get the ball down and we'll play and it's just, we believe in the management,

01:30 we believe in the players and that's all we have to do, we'll go from there.

01:33 Yeah, it's probably a bit of a cliche but having been on a long winless run, to say

01:37 one result can really turn things around here, look it's only two points, losing yourselves

01:41 now to Balamina and all of a sudden the table just doesn't look as bad?

01:44 Yeah, well that's it, it's one of those ones that have you blip against Glen Thorne but

01:47 other than that we've been playing well.

01:48 The results haven't went their way probably but we've been playing good stuff and there's

01:52 quality in our squad so I think the next couple of games, we'll take it game by game and the

01:57 beliefs are we just need to push on and focus on ourselves, worry about no one else and
