Darren Moore on the 4-0 first leg defeat against Peterborough: “It was a lonely place,” he tells Jobi McAnuff, who asks him who lifts Moore in a situation like that so Moore can lift his players. “I was hurting but it’s by the grace of God, leaning on him … because I was hurting. I didn’t go to bed until seven and then it was time to work again. and in those days before the second leg it was touch but the club needed me and the players needed me.”

Reaction from Wednesday manager Darren Moore

“I’m really emotional and really pleased for everyone connected to the football club,” he says. “With the emotions of what today carried, I’m just really pleased for everyone. For the chance to drop that way so late in the game, the composure from the cross and then for Josh to get on the end of it and score, it was a special moment.”
