“We are not yet done with the season, this result has taken us out of the drop zone and we still have seven matches to play before the end of the season.

“Our target is to ensure we go for maximum points in each of the remaining matches, we have to fight for every available point at home and at away games because that is the only way we can achieve our target,” he added.
