Maher: “The fans deserve to have these moments because there hasn’t been enough of them.
“The players deserve it too because they’ve been through a lot as well.
“But hopefully we still have one or two more games left to go.”

Does your watch measure your heart rate!
Maher: “I think everyone went through an emotional roller-coaster on Thursday night but that’s football.
“I’d be worried if you weren’t emotionally attached to the games and I think you’ve got to be.
“Obviously you have to think clearly at the same time and that’s the both of best worlds really.”

When players are doing well off the bench is it hard to decide whether to keep them there to do the same or to put them in the starting line-up?
Maher: “When you’ve been in the game this long you generally have an intuition of how the game might pan out and what it might look like.
“You want your subs to make an impact and sometimes it is different to starting than coming on.
“The subs we made Thursday worked but sometimes they don’t work and that’s football.
“That’s the life of a manager and you can’t get everything right.
“You make decisions on your experience and knowledge of what the game might look like.”

How’s James Morton?
Maher: “He’s still not been back training on the grass at the minute.
“The report we got back said it would take a certain number of weeks.
“Incorporated within that is the time he’s already missed so it’s on a day by day basis at the moment really.
“We’re taking it slowly with him and he’s getting closer to coming back all the time.
“In terms of joining in with the group he hasn’t done that yet.”
