Brian Barry-Murphy spoke to the press following City’s emphatic 5-1 victory over Northampton Town, as promotion was celebrated at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

“The perfect end to an amazing season at home.” Brian began. “They gave the supporters so many goals and it was such a comprehensive victory, it was the perfect way to end.

“Our intention was to try and show the very best parts of our game and attack and try and score more goals than we have done in our previous home games. To do that is testament to the ability of the players and the mentality to do it, when it would have been easy to probably just coast through the game.”

Brian Barry-Murphy spoke to the press following City’s 1-0 victory over Port Vale at Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday night.

“It’s difficult to predict what level of performance we could reach based on the euphoria that we felt on Saturday.” Brian began. “I’m very pleased with the players that we managed to create a chance in the second half and play well enough to win.

“I was pleased with the attitude of the players. They worked incredibly hard and play with as much intensity as we could find, and I was confident that if we could reach a certain level of performance we would get the victory.”
