Jim Gannon: "In the first half we produced some of the best football since I have been at the club.
"I felt we deserved to come in ahead at the interval and I think we proved that a bottom team can compete with a top side on any given day.
"Gary is a manager with a fantastic CV and I believe it would be an excellent move to appoint him.
"That decision is out of my hands, but I have given my advice to the club. Should a new manager come in before the end of the season, I will happily stand aside."
