"I'm over the moon for the players. They're focus on the pitch and conduct off the pitch has been fantastic. The staff have been brilliant as well, it's been fantastic working with everyone here. The players were flawless against Slovenia and dominated against Kosovo where it was all about the result. It now gives us the chance to play three more matches against high quality opposition, it's important we make the most of it." - Richard Williams
