When you are playing a team that is not consistent it becomes difficult but I am happy with the way the players responded because this is the way we planned,” he said. “We said it doesn’t matter how we pick the three points but the most important thing is for us to maximise the points and we knew that it was not going to be an easy game. You saw that the last 25 minutes Prison came on us but the most important thing is that we were focused and we managed to get the three points.”
