Harry Cornick came off the bench and proved to be the difference with a superb finish and Town remained resolute defensively to seal all three points.

“It’s a massive win. For me, these are as difficult a side to play against in terms of trickiness, they dominate possession and they caused real problems. You have to be organised, be aggressive and real clinical when you get the opportunities and that’s what we were today. Wonderful away performance.

“They had one chance first half where Sheasy made a great save and you’re going to need your goalkeeper when you go away. A great win to follow up the month we’ve just had.

“Tactical awareness that we had today was wonderful. Strong, disciplined, aggressive. We had chances and the game changers come on and won us the game, it was a complete away performance, to come here and win 1-0 is a wonderful result.

“We are very close to those play-off positions and we have a game in hand. What we’ve asked them to do, the four games we’ve had called off – Reading, Bristol City, Swansea and Coventry – we’ve won all three so far and we celebrated because the fans were magnificent, come down here on a Tuesday night, massive journey, so we wanted to repay them.”
