Caretaker Manager John Carver was delighted for his side after securing victory over the Swans

Carver saw Ched Evans score the only goal of the game to give him victory in his first game in charge and he said after the game "I'm delighted for the boys. They deserved that.

"It's not been the easiest week with the manager going but they've responded in exactly the right fashion, exactly the way that everyone would want.

"I want to say thank you to Gary because he rang me this morning and said he believed in this team and thank you to the players because they stuck completely to the game plan absolutely to the letter.

"And also thank you to the fans because I know what it's like being a supporter sat in the stands when your team had been struggling.

"But I think they stuck with us and, as the game developed, started to see what we were trying to do."
