“We’re absolutely over the moon with that result. It’s a great reaction especially after the other night. It was a big game for us, and it was a chance for us to put it right, and thankfully we did."
That was the opening comment of the match winner Anthony Wordsworth after the Bohemians game. He continued.
Wordsworth told WLR he didn't sleep well after missing an early chance in Friday night's FAI Cup Semi-Final defeat to the same opposition.
“After going one nil down, that second half performance is really pleasing. It was great to get the goal because it was playing on my mind a little bit after missing that chance the other night. I didn’t sleep very well because I felt I let the team down. I think if that chance had come in the other night, it was a different game."
The midfielder was delighted to grab the winner which propelled the Blues out of the relegation zone. He says the side are now confident going into their remaining five games.
“When Phoenix rolled the ball across to me especially on my right foot, I was just thinking just hit the target, and I was over the moon to see it go in. it’s a big win for us. Our league form of late has been brilliant, and we’re full of confidence after this result. We don’t fear nobody. Like I said before, this young squad keep coming up trumps, and they’ve done really well. We’ve gone above Finn Harps now, and we’re level with Dundalk, who we play on Friday. We’re looking forward to that one now."
The tight-knit nature of the squad has been crucial to their run up to the top of the form table.
“It’s getting tight now, but every game is massive for us, and we’re looking froward to them all. We are a very close knit group, and that’s always something that I’ve always tried to bring to any club I’ve been at. It has to be about team spirit, togetherness, and we have to make sure our changing room is healthy. We don’t have to love each other, but we have to get along, and respect each other. I think that second half performance showed that. We ran around for each other, we fought for each other, and that’s just standard procedure at any football club. We’re delighted with this win.”
