00:00Terry's congratulations, another win and another goal.

00:03Yeah, I'm happy to score, more importantly happy to get the three points.

00:08Put a big emphasis on making sure we come back off the break right.

00:13Good performance, strong performance, and because we're the home team,

00:18making sure the intensity's there and we're in control of the game,

00:21and we did that, I feel, from start to finish.

00:23Tell us a bit about the goal, made that finish look easier than it probably was.

00:27Yeah, obviously I know that Femi's going to win that one-v-one,

00:31because that's one of his strengths,

00:33so I just had to make sure I was in the right place at the right time

00:36and try and guide it, I didn't really need to put the power on the shot

00:41because it was on the cross, so I just did my best and, yeah, I won it.

00:43I know you want a few more between now and the end of the season,

00:45but does it feel good to get to double figures when you're a striker?

00:48Yeah, of course, it's the first time I've done it in my career and I'm really happy.

00:53It's been an aim and one of the little goals for me,

00:56but obviously now I've got the ten, I want 15, 20,

01:00so hopefully I can keep going and keep scoring

01:02and hopefully, more importantly, we reach our goal at the end of the season.

01:06You just seem to fit this football club, this football club fits you,

01:10why is it working so well, do you think?

01:13I just think it's a team of honest players, hard-working players,

01:17and we all are fighting for the same thing,

01:19and we bring the best out in each other,

01:21and we know each other's strengths and weaknesses,

01:24and we fight for each other until the end, as you see out there every week,

01:27so it's amazing to come into a team like that,

01:30and it's been a fresh start for me and one I've relished,

01:32and being under pressure and playing games with huge importance every week

01:38has been a new challenge for me, but I'm loving it.

01:43With every game, is that confidence growing,

01:45and did we see a bit of that a little bit at the celebration?

01:47I saw you blowing the guns out and putting it back in the holster.

01:51No, one of my friends, I was speaking to him last night,

01:54and he told me to do the celebration, so I said I would,

01:57and I scored, so I had to do it.

02:00A word on Rhian Brewster as well, he's got another goal tonight,

02:03he's had to battle so much adversity during his time at Sheffield United,

02:07but at this important time of the season, he's scoring important goals,

02:10how pleased are you for him?

02:12I'm buzzing for him, I know how it is to go through a tough time in football,

02:17injuries, people saying stuff about you in the media,

02:21it's always going to come when you're injured and not living up to what's happening,

02:25but I'm just so happy for him, he's an unreal guy,

02:29everyone loves him at the club, he's one of my closest people,

02:32so it's really nice for him to be scoring and I just hope he can continue it,

02:37and we can both just keep doing what we're doing until the end of the season.

02:40Are you going to be keeping an eye on those scores tomorrow?

02:42Yeah, I'll keep an eye on them, but I try not to get too involved in them,

02:47we've still got seven games to go, so we've just got to worry about ourselves and get the job done.

02:52Was this a bit of a statement performance though, because Coventry have been in such good form,

02:57and really didn't have much chance in this game,

03:00it was 3-1, but it could easily have been a stronger score than that, couldn't it?

03:04Yeah, I feel like I missed a couple of chances I probably should have scored,

03:08and there were other chances for other players as well,

03:11but we wanted to... I know they've done well, their form's been brilliant recently,

03:16but we felt that if we showed our intensity and our quality,

03:21that we'd have more than enough to beat them, and that's what we did tonight.
