Black: Players Deserve The Credit

Last updated : 17 January 2004 By Alan Deakin
"It's players who win matches and not managers so all credit must go to the lads," he said after the 6-1 win at The Bescot Stadium.

"If I was going to single out people I'd have to choose the strikers, not just for their goals today but for their work over the last four, five and six weeks because now they've had the reward for all that hard work."
