Transcript
00:00 Yeah mate, I'm proud mate, I am, I'm really proud of them. For us as a club and everything
00:17 that we've been through in the past not even two years, it's just great to see everyone
00:26 so happy and how much we've put into this. I'm just really proud of the lads for the
00:33 work tonight, I mean, to Aman again, it was unbelievable, just work ethic, buying in.
00:41 You could have never, if you said that to me before, obviously no one would have seen
00:47 that one coming. I'll be honest, in the back of my head, again like everyone said, the
00:54 Leeds picked us, I would have picked Leeds, I know that sounds easy to say that now, but
01:00 I just think we play a way that we make it hard for Leeds and look, they're brilliant,
01:09 they can always score and they're a real dangerous team and they will probably win the league
01:14 and they are, they've proved it. But I think for us, we came here tonight with a plan like
01:21 we had the other night and obviously, to make it hard for them and we've got some really,
01:27 really, really good players in our team this year and they came for this week and it's
01:34 special.
01:35 The margin of victory in the end on aggregate was probably greater than anyone expected,
01:41 did it surprise you in the end?
01:42 Oh, of course, yeah, you could never predict beating Leeds on aggregate by that much, of
01:52 course you couldn't, but I thought we...
01:55 Perfect start help though, wouldn't it? Ties like this, early goals are always going to
01:59 be crucial and you got it.
02:01 We could have been up more from the other night and we came here and I think the lads
02:05 are confident and we said we preached it, good start always in a game against Leeds,
02:13 they come out really quick and fast and we had to weather that but also go and do our
02:18 own thing and go hard back at them. Obviously we scored early, that really helped us and
02:25 yeah, we just look, again, lads really proud of them, they played really, really well tonight
02:29 and I can't say much more, they've done everything I asked them.
