00:00 I don't think you can. I think it's probably your worst nightmare as a manager.
00:07 Going down three goals so early on and again the opposition haven't had to do a great deal to get those three goals.
00:19 It's just poor defending. We keep saying it every week. Same things that keep happening. Keep working on things.
00:31 People have got to take responsibility and that's not happening. We think we're getting somewhere.
00:40 Again, the back three changes upset us a little bit but it shouldn't affect us that much.
00:50 The only thing we can say is we kept going. Especially one or two kept going and dug in and pulled us out of it.
00:59 But the three substitutions all went on and did well and all contributed.
01:07 I'm really disappointed after the game which is surprising when you've managed to come back and get a full draw.
01:15 It wasn't just that. It was overall. Our defending today was really poor.
01:24 I could probably say that for both teams.
01:34 All you can do is keep going. We have come away with a point.
01:39 I'm not sure if we would have come away with nothing. Obviously we would have been devastated.
01:43 They were there for the taking. They probably thought the same about us.
