VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Cheltenham Town Manager Mark Yates told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
Yates hails Cheltenham's character
"It wasn't free-flowing but there was some good football played. We only take care of ourselves and we're one point off Cheltenham's second highest total in the league.
"Accrington are a good side and they'll be a side to watch next year for sure but I thought we edged it. It's three good points closer to where we're wanting to be.
"Today's about character and about getting a result, I'm delighted with the three points. The boys know we've done well today, but we can also do better."
"Great to see Ben Burgess score, he flung himself at it and that's what you've got to do, get a dirty face. It was a cracking ball from Keith Lowe, he put a couple of really great balls in today."
