Steve Nicol Quotes

We basically went at them for 60 minutes and thought we would score. But in the final third [of the field] the last ball wasn't quite there. We put them under pressure for the majority of the game, with 11 or 10 players. Sometimes it is not going to happen for you. They defended corners well and we couldn't get that last touch in and that summed up the night. - Steve Nicol

We aren't getting penalties for whatever reason. I thought it was a penalty myself. - Steve Nicol

We are not going to change what we have done all season. The players we have naturally go forward, and to go against what they do naturally, to knock that out of them, would cause problems. We will keep it tight at the back, but if we have a chance to go forward, we will do that. - Steve Nicol

Tony is a tough and experienced defender. - Steve Nicol

To be fair, they're not quite at their sharpest, but they're getting there. If they're performing the way they are now at not 100 percent, then they're really going to be turning some heads when they get there, no doubt. - Steve Nicol

They have ability. The players have quality. The hard part is putting everybody together. They have a problem doing that. They're obviously putting it together as a team now. - Steve Nicol

They are going to have to be in a position to defend. If we can counterattack quickly it's going to give us more chance to play. - Steve Nicol

There's a player that we like who we think could come available. - Steve Nicol

There was nobody around him. It was just one of those things. - Steve Nicol

The worst thing that can happen is for us to be out of the tie by the end of the first game. We need to get the result we are out to achieve and so we need to start by giving nothing away and then working our way into the game and getting forward. We want to keep as good a shape as we can at all times so we have to be talking and passing people on. We don't want players running all over the place, we want to stay with men. If we do that we'll be all right. - Steve Nicol
