Manager hails a great team effort

And Micky was thrilled by both the quality of the goal and the performance of his side on the way to victory.
“It was a terrific finish, the move building up to it was great to and to finish it with a finish like that was fantastic," said Micky.
“But to be honest I am delighted with them all, it was a real great team effort.
“We are a group. We don’t speak about individuals, and as a collective group we were superb tonight and well worth a victory."
But Micky is not getting ahead of himself and is remaining focused.
“It's great for the fans to keep things moving forward and I am delighted for the players because the FA Cup is important," he said.
“But we have some really important league games, and as I always say, I will deal with things game by game, half by half.
“We have a really tough game against Exeter at the weekend and now we are concentrating on that."
