WHILE it was good to sign off from The Football League with a win, manager Brian Little was still being level headed following a 4-2 success at Lincoln City on the final day of the season.

"Yes, it's a high note, but what about the goals we have conceded!" he said.

"Crikey, we have had to score four to win a football match. At two-nil up, you think lets go on and win the game, but we once again we give away the craziest goals.

"I finish games now shattered, as you try and kick every ball for them, especially the younger lads over these last few weeks. I said to them, that I got us two free kicks by appealing to the referee, its little things like that which they have to do.

"We are very naive, but we have had to throw them into a situation that not even a seasoned pro wants to have to deal with.

"They won a very good game against Notts County, then had to go in against Hereford and got the almighty kick up the backside, which showed them what the game is about. They have had to stomach relegation and today it's good for them to come here and win a game away from home.

"So in a very short space of time they have won a home game and an away game, which is a lot quicker than the so called first teamers managed this season.

"I'm pleased for them, they are honest and from what we saw out there, then a few of them will be an asset to us over the next few years, but some will go on to make careers elsewhere, but I think it has been a great exercise for us over that last few weeks.

"I would like to say thanks to all the players, including the ones we have released. Ultimately they might not have been good enough, but as I have said before, none of them were bad people, I wish them well.

"The fans have been fantastic, even if a few got carried away by running on the pitch today.

"You can see what it means to people when a team comes away and wins a football match - there is just a great lesson for our young players. Winning football matches is what it's all about.

"How you win doesn't really matter!

"We have a few people out there who learnt a great deal today. The likes of Wes Baynes, who from day one I could see had so much ability, but he has to learn about the game. Once he does that, then he's going to be a good player.

"Carl Tremarco coming back into the side makes such a difference to us. A solid left back is very important, while Spends did a decent job on the other side with Wes protecting him.

"So there are things for us to build on, while we still need an influx of new players. The coming months will be very important to us, we have an awful lot of work ahead of us and we have to do that well. It's an important phase of the club's future.
