“The three points are appreciated, of course, and at this stage of the season they all feel more important, but in reality it’s the same three points that we’ve been fighting for all season and we have another three to fight for on Saturday now,” McKenna said after the victory.
“We know the scale of that mountain that we’re going to go and try and climb again on Saturday and turnaround from this one, so we’re happy to get them tonight but we’ve got to get ready to fight for the next one now.
“It was a big show of character from the group, a big show of progression over the course of the season, clearly a show of progression from our first game against Charlton, and we’ve spoken about that plenty, about how this group has had to come together and learn over the course of the season how to react in those sort of moments.”
