That's what we need to learn, to be a little bit more patient in the situations when we want to build something good."I know sometimes this growing process is not hand-in-hand with competing, with the score, with the need to win every game."Selles said it was "mission accomplished" as Southampton saw off their League One opponents.He said: "One of the big things tonight that you saw, it was a team spirit, a team together, everybody celebrating because it's a small but big victory."If you lose today then it's a big loss, if you win that's what needs to be done. We didn't expect to win it that late. Second half, we had chances to finish it before."It's mission accomplished for everybody - not only about going through to the next round but also about feelings, togetherness, performance and we got everything we wanted from the game."){kind=link}
