Dave Challinor: "I thought the supporters were really good tonight, when the players really needed them. I understand what it can be like, at a place where we've become accustomed to winning, and when you concede a goal as we did at the end of the first half." "The way the fans responded to that, and the way the players responded to them, was great. Similarly to Doncaster (semi-final), we have to go and get the third goal in order for it to not be nervy. We thoroughly deserved to win the game, but do we have to be more clinical, of course we do. Evidently, we need to get better at that." On Josh Stokes: "We know his quality. The injury is less of a concern now, we've got through that management phase of it. There was no real reaction from Saturday, so he was able to go again tonight. There's a desire from our side to play him into sharpness and into form." "That'll come with more minutes, and for him to come off with a goal and assist will do him the world of good." On moving back to 5th: "We've set the bar really high. We had a ridiculous run at the end of last season." "We're quite obviously going to have to use our squad with the run of fixtures we've got. It's going to be tough, everyone's going to be needed. But because we've set the bar so high, there's going to be that expectation. I'm fine with that. We're still in it, we have a cup final to look forward to - hopefully we have an exciting end to the season, and we still have our overall objective (of promotion) available to play for." On trip to Luton Town: "Things have flipped - we had the best away record, but we've well and truly put paid to that. We don't try and set up any different away from home than we do here, and it's a game which is a tough place to go, but is a good gauge of where we're at. We'll recover from tonight, and look forward to Saturday to continue the start of this run." #StockportCounty
