ALEX SMITH'S HIBS' MATCH COMMENTS

14th October 2001

Alex Smith admitted an eventual 3-1 victory for United looked an unlikely outcome in the early part of the match.

"They are one of the better sides and I thought for the first twenty minutes they would overrun us. We looked vulnerable every time they were in our box."

"The loss of the first goal unsettled us but twenty minutes before half-time we started to play again. At that stage, if we nicked a goal, I thought we had a chance of winning and that's what I told the players."

"It was an excellent win against a quality side and it's a huge boost", concluded the United boss.
