Holdsworth: Winning is a fantastic habit

Posted on: Sat 24 Oct 2009

David Holdsworth praised his side after beating Altrincham this afternoon and progressing into the next round of the FA Cup.

Speaking after the game he said: "I'm delighted with everybody's contribution today. My back four were outstanding and I feel happy at the end of a game for the fans - they deserved the win."

"We were very dominant and played with a high level of energy, closed them down and put them under a high amount of pressure."

After a late fitness test for a calf and an ankle injury, the inclusion in the starting line up of Rob Duffy surprised everyone.

The gaffer added: "It was a gamble that paid off for me. He deserved that first goal because he worked hard and closed down."

His praise however, was not just limited to Rob Duffy and he was quick to point out that all his side deserved credit for today's performance.

"I'm delighted for both my strike force. We showed good discipline, composure and brains are what wins games."

"Winning is a fantastic habit and we want to want to maintain those standards. The Boys are working very very hard."
