Both managers spoke to the press after the Carling Cup First Round game on Tuesday evening.

Steve Eyre: "It was fantastic, but we didn't have it easy, but if you look at the balance of play I think we deserved the outcome. We've done everything to try and get a positive outcome and between us, I think we're well worth our place in the next round. The approach play by Ashley Grimes was Premier League class, but none of the chances fell for him, but the two that did he scored from." (BBC Sport - full interview)

John Sheridan:  "I thought we worked hard when the ball was in front of us and we kept our shape. I think we could have avoided their goals. I'm disappointed because once we got the second goal I thought we were just on top of the game then, I was hoping we could keep the lead a little bit longer." (Teamtalk)
