Here is Ruben Selles’s quick reaction.
Selles on Exeter win
“I think it has been a really busy period, four games in nine days, and all of us as coaches and the team found a way to get through it. The commitment they showed in the entire period, being focused on the task and taking in all the information, today it was there. We knew it could go, because of the fatigue, with some mistakes. We were on top of the game. It was not the perfect game, we conceded a couple of goals where we should do better, but I think the team has shown character and competitiveness. It was good to score three in front of our own fans and in the end we defended well and managed the game. I’m very happy because they are investing a lot and finally, we are getting results.
Selles on player mentality
“It is not only today, but it was also Cheltenham too after a very bad start to come back and have situations in the second half to win it. The mentality of being nasty to beat and to always be in the games. If we are in front, I think we need to be more robust in our defensive moment, but when we are back we know we can score against any opponent so we need to find some balance.
Selles on moving out of relegation zone
“It has been a long period there and a lot of talk about us. I think it took time for us to find a way to compete and win football matches. We still should have more points, and the point deduction didn’t help. It was a small step today. It is more in the mind. We know the job is not done and we need to win a lot of football matches if we want to stay in League One next season. We have those weeks with three games that we won back from 10 points, it can come back if we are not at our top. We need to fight to get points.
Selles on Tom Holmes injury
“After the game against Cheltenham, he felt some discomfort in the calf. At the very beginning of the warm-up, because we tried to keep him yesterday, he felt discomfort, so he was not available for today. It is normal for everyone to play with fatigue, hopefully it is nothing. Tomorrow he will have the scan and hopefully, it is nothing.
Selles on nine-day break
“It is what it is. If we needed to play on Saturday then we would do it, but it is what it is. We need to get some space to recover the body and mental space, then go again.”
