John Sheridan couldn’t hide his excitement and relief after his side picked up a 3-2 victory, their first of the season, in an incident packed game at Bristol Rovers on Tuesday.

Shez admitted, “It’s a big relief, again we made it a lot harder than what it should have ended up. I’m just chuffed to bits for the players and supporters, they’ve travelled down tonight, full credit to them for coming and I’m just chuffed to bits that we’ve got the first win tonight. I thought we deserved it, I thought they started bright, they're a good team at home, they give you problems and they make you defend, but I thought once we got into the game the midfield were getting a lot of joy.”

“I thought probably the best spell we’ve had was the five or ten minutes just after half time, I thought we were top draw, it was a great goal from Jack [Byrne]. We should have seen the game out a lot better than what we did but I’m chuffed to bits, to go 2-2 and after what happened Saturday, it’s another great goal from Doyle. We’ve been biting at the bit to get a result and we’ve come to a tough place and got one. It’s all down to the players, full credit to the players, it’s a magnificent result.”
