MOWBRAY POST SHREWS


Tony Mowbray gave his verdict following our very late comeback on the road against Shrewsbury in the FA Cup.


LUKE O’NIEN

"Luke is always telling me that he should be on penalties and free kicks! I keep saying, he's a wonderful guy and personality. From left back he pops up on the edge of the opposition box to ram one in, that's a great credit to him and the energy and drive he has to help our team get the result.”


RIGHT RESULT

"I feel as if it was the right result. The first 20 minutes was a bit end-to-end and we probably didn't deal with their directness as well as I would have liked, but we got a grip and the last 25 minutes of the half we were in the half. We controlled it from there but you have to score, and I told them at half time we needed more bodies in the box - we had to commit. If they breakaway then our defenders have to defend. We did that better in the second half. We didn't have a big team out there today and we were susceptible from set plays, every time I looked up they were bringing another lad who was 6ft 4. I know it was dramatic at the end but it was the right result."


GO FOR IT

"The league is our bread and butter but this club has a history in this cup and we have to do everything we can, that's why the team was almost as strong as it could be. We got what we deserved - albeit it that was a strange way to go about it."


100% PEN

"Patrick Roberts is really upset about it because he feels it's a stain on his character. I've seen a still image and he's been cleaned out, it's right on the shin. It's frustrating, I know I sometimes moan about officials because I expect higher standards than we get some weeks. That was a disappointing decision but we have to live with those decisions.
