Knill happy with point after injuries

Speaking to Radio Sheffield after Saturdays game, Knill said: "I thought it was a pretty good performance considering the circumstances, We lost our centre forward and centre half withen twenty minutes so you have to change the team around, But I thought we coped with it pretty well."

"We are fortunate that we have some players that can play in various positions. Dave Worrell can just slot into the right side of centre half against Pablo and looks pretty acomplished there."

Knill was also missing Winger Ritchie Partridge due to injury and Knill was'nt prepared to risk him being out longer.

Worrell - Centre Half?

"You have to deal with injuries, fortunately we've got a decent squad considering we have no Colin Murdock and Justin Cochrane as yet, so we have a decent squad and players who can come in and do a job."

Knill will also have a headache with his forward line for Friday night's game against Northampton, with Delroy Facey coming off with an ankle injury and Will Hoskins sitting out the game suspended. Punishment for his sending off at Bradford.

"It's a dissapointment because Will looks like he can score everygame, but its one of those things but we have some good young players coming through in Newsham and Taylor, it may be the time for them to step up. Taylor more than anybody is looking like a real player, with Newey not far behind."

"We're delighted with the result, but dissapointed with the injurys and Wills suspension but I think we can take a lot of credit out of today."

"I thought we were comfortable in the first half and scored a great goal and could have scored maybe one or two more. We stoped them from playing and they had to play better in the second half - and they did. But I still thought we were pretty comfortable."

"Neil's made some great saves and been comanding in the area. We rode our luck but I have to say we've come a long way frrom the first game of the season."

Asked how much he had moved on from first taking charge of the team, at Bradford away last season, Knill said: "I think I've changed quite a bit, I know what its all about now. I was fortunate to have it when Ronnie left, and unfornate as well as it was a difficult time, but I learnt a lot then and I took it into my second spell."

"It's a job where you have to be at your best as manager all the time. You have to be thinking all the time because things pop up. Take today for example, with the 2 changes you have to make first half, so you have to think on your feet all the time but so far we're going ok and I'm enjoying it as much as you can. It's a pretty tough job but I kinda like it."

"We know where we are in the league if you take the minus ten off, but it was our decision to go with the minus ten. We're minus 3 now and we've taken 7 points this month and won in the cup, we're pretty pleased."
