"Teams try to stifle our play and stop us doing what we're good at. The trouble last week was that we got ourselves dragged down to Chester's level. It was awful to play in so it must have been poor to sit and watch." Cocko told the Advertiser.
"Chester came to kill the game and take a point, but fair play to them. They did a professional job and we'll go away from home and do the same. That's part and parcel of lower-division football."
"Maybe after beating Peterborough and competing well against Sheffield Wednesday, one or two people have started to sit up and take notice of us. You might see that from now until the end of the season depending how we go, but it's nice that teams are showing us that little bit of respect. It shows we're doing something right."
"It's been a tough start for us, what with Hereford, Peterborough, Stockport, Chester and the Carling Cup tie (against Wednesday), but that's what you want. You want to be competing against the stronger teams."
"We've started OK but realism kicks in when you realise we've only had one win in four league games and one clean sheet. Maybe that will take us back down to earth and we'll start working that little bit harder."
"The manager has been right about one or two things he's pointed out to us. But let's not forget it's a new squad and the boys have only just learnt each other's names. We have set standards and I'd like to see us live up to them. We've set our targets and we know what points percentage we need to be on month by month."
"Winter is coming but maybe that will be good for us because with
a little bit of rain and a bit of slick on the surface we will be able to pop the ball around a little bit better."
