"The fans have been fantastic, they have welcomed me with open arms and I really appreciate that and I wish them all the best.""It was a bit of a difficult game. They sat back and gave us a lot of the ball but we scored the goals that we needed in the end.
"They were sloppy goals that we conceded and obviously the lads will want to cut that out. It was good to get the win but the goals against have given us something to think about.
"It shows the league how good we are though, to come back from those goals and kicking on. We have a lot of goals in the team."
One bonus for Ridgewell, on a bitterly cold day at the Amex, is he returns to slightly warmer climes in Portland, he added, "Today was a little bit colder so hopefully it will be a little bit warmer for me back in Portland!"
