Moyes copes without Irvine

Everton manager David Moyes says he is unlikely to appoint a number two until the summer, following Alan Irvine's recent departure to take charge of Preston North End.
Irvine exited Goodison Park in late November to take the top job at Deepdale, but Moyes believes that his current staff have covered well in his absence.
He told the club's official website: "It's highly unlikely that I'll be making an appointment before the end of the season.
"I've been really pleased with work done by Jimmy Lumsden, Andy Holden and Chris Woods since Alan left and at this present time I'm keen to maintain the consistency at the club.
"I don't want to make a change at this stage of the season and, anyway, our own schedule has been too busy for me to make any enquiries regarding the post."
