Phil Neville reckons that the team got the hair dryer treatment off Moyesy at half time on Saturday, he boss did not want the non-leaguers grabbing a Premiership scalp. He also spoke of the stick which he took all game from the Tamworth fans.
Captain Phil said: 'He told us we had to simplify our game, do the basics, keep our shape and track runners. We gave away a couple of silly free-kicks, which meant their fans got up - but I must say that was nice. Their supporters made it a really good atmosphere. The manager said at half-time we couldn't give them any more encouragement because they were building off our mistakes.'
'In the first half our passing wasn't crisp enough. The second goal was always going to kill the game - it's just a pity we didn't get it earlier. The thing is at the moment virtually all our games are going to the 90th minute and there is no chance for us to step off the gas. Something we don't do enough is see off games, by keeping the ball and conserving energy.'
'The banter was good natured. There's a lot worse things been shouted at me than 'you're just a s**t Gary Neville'. It was all good banter.'
'It happens from every away support, you just have to accept it. But I applauded them at the end because the Tamworth fans made it a really enjoyable atmosphere. The home atmosphere hasn't always been as lively as that. There aren't always that many away fans and our performances haven't always merited a good atmosphere either, to be honest.'
Moyesy wasn't happy at half-time! Imagine how we felt Phil!!
