Boss: We were outstanding
Posted on: Wed 17 Nov 2004
Joe Royle described the performance in the 2-1 win over Wolves as excellent and said the victory margin should have been greater.
Speaking after Town moved to second in the table, the Blues boss said: "I thought we were outstanding.
"We played with excitement, with verve, created chances. We hit the woodwork twice, scored twice and could have had more.
"We had one concentration lapse that let them in and in 90 minutes, Kelvin has hardly had a save to make and we could have won by more.
"The first-half in particular we were excellent and my only complaint was that we weren't ahead by more than one goal.
"Shefki missed a sitter after the break which would have calmed my nerves but we were excellent all over the pitch in the end.
"The two lads up front gave them problems, the defence were solid and I wouldn't swap our midfield for any other in this division."
Joe also added that there had been no further developments in the Darren Bent situation.
"Charlton made one bid that was rejected. That's as far as it goes," he said.
