CURLE REACTION
8th November 2003 18:47


Keith Curle:

They (Bishop's) gave a good account of themselves. But teams will struggle when we play in that form with that attitude. The word that sums it is professional.

The key factor in the game today was Dave Artell's tackle when we were 2-0 up. A great tackle. 2-1 may have lifted them.

Neil's got that ability and hopefully this will give him confidence to keep shooting. Perhaps he wouldn't have had as much time and space in league games, but he has got an eye for goal. He's got good technique, good ability.

(regarding why Curtis took the penalty): Tom Curtis hasn't scored enough goals and I just wanted him on the scoresheet. He's pleased with his goal. He's the type of player who might go on and get 2 or 3 goals now.

I'm pleased we kept going for the 90 minutes. I love the FA Cup. It's games like this, you don't know where they might lead.
