View from the dugout


Dave Jones said: “Who knows how many points it will take to be safe, I was told this morning that with the points we have, we probably already are safe but we will not look at it like that until safety is guaranteed.”

 

Mick McCarthy said: “The players have been great. They must take a lot of credit for what they have done but as I have said, there is still work to be done before we are mathematically safe.”
