Really passionate. You've seen them when they've gone 2-0 up. Brilliant. Supporting the team, supporting Steve, so I'm not taking anything away from Steve's performance.
"It's a big three points for them, but it's a different game and we're learning a different game. I'm a bit drained with it, and a bit saddened as well the way it's going."
