He added, "We score at a good time and then I probably felt we had something to protect and just dropped off it a wee bit. There's no question that we had to weather a storm and we always knew at some point that was going to come."
Kettlewell also praised the team's ability to show two aspects of their game, saying, "For us to try and get through a cup game or be successful in any match we're going to have to show two aspects of our game. You always talk about the technical tactical side of it - for large spells I thought we were excellent at it but there's always the other part where we show a bit of spirit and a bit of togetherness."
