Simpson revels in first home win

Hatters boss Paul Simpson has revealed it is a huge relief to finally secure three points at Edgeley Park.

The Hatters came into the match, seven and-a-half months without a victory infront of the home fans but George Donnelly and Robbie Williams both found the net to make sure that record was finally put to bed.

‘We have waited a very long time and it is of course a huge relief. It was a big worry at the end when we got that third goal and it was dissallowed – we should have killed the game off.

‘The players were brilliant, they did look a little nervy at the end but I think we have shown great character to come from behind yet again.

I think it is fair to say we have played better this season and lost games, we have definitely played much better this season but it’s not always about the performance. The result is the most important thing. We’ve finally gotten rid of that monkey off our backs.’

Simpson also payed tribute to George Donnelly’s seventh goal of the season which got County back level at 1-1.

‘I was in the dugout shouting ‘Don’t shoot, Don’t Shoot’ but no it was a fantastic strike and George and Wes have shown a great understanding playing together today, they were both terrific.

‘There was good movement and good attitude shown by both of them today and I am really pleased with both of them.’
