Selles on the draw
"We came here to get the three points. I think the performance was there in some moments of the game. A point is fair for the game. We ended really well but the flavour is that in the last five or 10 minutes we could have got the second goal. I am happy with the performance, but we came to get the three points.
Selles on the impact of subs
"We know what we have there. The game always has some different games in the same game, so we needed to adjust to the circumstances. We were low in terms of aggression, intensity and forward playing and we needed to make a difference. We know the game is a squad game and that those on the bench would make a difference, so it happened.
Selles on Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan
"They are doing a great job, everyone. Kelvin had a chance with us when he was playing and getting his minutes, but we changed the system and Sam Smith came into the team. He has struggled to get those minutes but as a substitute and times he went onto the pitch in the last month has he has been exceptional and changed the dynamic of the game. Now the next step for him is to do the same when he starts.
Selles on Tom Holmes injury
"It is a bit tricky because he has a partial fracture. It is about mobility and how much he can support playing with the pain. A normal person takes six weeks, but a normal person can take much longer. I don’t know if he will make Stevenage. It is a situation where we are waiting every day.
"It is not a fracture that will need a lot of rest, or we need to stop him, he just needs to get the symptoms of the first days’ pain out of his system and mobility. It is a very unusual injury, but we are taking it daily.
Selles on away form
"We have been performing well away from home and competing in every game. We can win football matches away; we have shown it. We need to perform like we did today, especially in the last 30 minutes.
Selles on Stevenage
"I think Steve Evans has done an amazing job there. They have a very clear way of how they want to play and are strong at home. I think it will be a completely different game and we will need to adapt to the game. It will be a very different challenge.
Selles on lack of shots
"I think the feeling is that we were there to create more situations. We lacked the clarity in the last pass. The final pass, especially from a cross, never came today. We need to keep working because it is not usual to finish a game with almost no shots on target. The opponent prepared in a deep block and didn’t have the high pressure and that makes things difficult, especially when they got the goal in the first half. We need to keep developing that part. We are creating enough situations to get more shots and get something more- we just need the final bit."
