Leicester 0 SAFC 2 ..... message from Roy

Dear Coxhoe Branch,
I thought we deserved to win it by more goals.
You have to be patient. You start to get a bit worried when their keeper is pulling off some great saves, but it was a deserved win.
All in all, 2-0 is a satisfying victory. Frustration would have been an understatement had we come off nil-nil.
We kept going and credit to the players because we didn't become impatient, we kept passing it and moving it and in the end it could have been a few more.
Some of the lads were playing out of position and credit to them. Ross [Wallace], Toby [Hysen] and Peter Hartley - they all did well.
I thought Varga and Connolly were outstanding and Whitehead did well, some of these players have played two games in three days and it's not easy.
We're delighted and I really felt that we deserved it.
We've got a lot of late goals this season and sometimes it can be a frustrating way to do it, but I'm delighted for the players, they kept going.
We showed a great desire to get into the box; if you don't do that, you won't score goals.
Leicester are the home team and they obviously had to go for it when we went ahead, it is going to leave gaps and we have good players who can pick a pass and exploit it.
There was a worry that when we missed chances we might live to regret it, but we got there in the end.
I was disappointed the other day [against Preston] because I felt we deserved something out of it, that sat with me on Saturday night, but we have responded well.
Over the season teams are going to have good days and bad days, especially in this division. Today was an up for us.
I thought our support was great again. As long as the fans go away happy, you feel that little bit satisfied.
The players need to work on their recovery now because we have had a lot of games and we have another tough one on Saturday.
All the best,
Roy Keane
