Omer Riza : “ Last Night “

Omer Riza:

“We've done a great job,” Omer began. “We've kept a clean sheet and we were really fantastic defensively.

“I’m relieved; we needed it. I think we knew that, the players knew that, the staff knew that. We've come close on a few occasions and not managed to do it against teams around us.

“I think we did what we needed to do and that's important as well. It shows that resilience, that togetherness. We've just got to keep maintaining a self-belief, work ethic, principles, values and all of those things.

“Three points against Hull gives us that six-point gap at the minute. It wasn’t pretty but three points is three points. We're just happy to grind out a result and an important win.”

Callum Robinson and Yousef Salech both starting last nights fixture, Omer he reflected on their pleasing performances at CCS.

“We have the strikers now and we looked good.”

“I needed goals and they both can do that.” he continued. “So that's what's important, and we got the goal from that. That's pleasing moving forwards.”

“It could happen again; of course we've got good options now, good variation, so we'll just change it up depending on the opposition we play against.”

“We wanted to be structured, we wanted to be disciplined and I played Yousef and Robbo today because I wanted a goal. I knew we needed a goal and it came through them and Chrissy [Chris Willock] combining, so I think that was pleasing.”
