00:00 Mathematically, we can still do it. That's a big result against Bob Bannock tonight,
00:11 a 4-0 loss against Gillesfield. How do you sum that up over 90 minutes?
00:17 Probably a good game for the neutral, but unfortunately we're not neutrals. The first
00:28 half, I think it was harsher than going 2-0 down. We matched them for the majority of
00:37 it. They shifted the ball really well, if I'm honest, and switched play really well
00:41 on that surface, but obviously they're used to it as well. But we contained them. The
00:49 second goal was a killer, if I'm honest, but then we got in half-time and there was an
00:55 honest and frank discussion between the boys half-time. To be fair, I thought we played
01:01 really well second half, but then we gifted them two easy goals, which is really disappointing.
01:08 Within seconds really, from 2-0 and a chance, 4-0 and it's a game-setter match.
01:13 At least we still kept going. I think you asked, was it last week, you asked if we were
01:18 giving up. They kept going. We brought some fresh legs on, but it's difficult to play
01:26 and you're relying on sometimes looking at the balance on a surface like that, but you've
01:34 got to make sure you make the right decisions on there as well.
01:38 There's three games left, Empress, Holywell and Chirk. What can we expect to get out of
01:43 them? Nine points.
01:44 It'll be good, won't it?
01:45 Lovely, won't it?
01:46 It'll be good. I've just told the lads in there now, we've still got three games left.
01:54 Individually they need to look at themselves and decide whether they're going to put it
01:59 all in there. I believe in this, lads. I believe in every single one of them. Some of them
02:06 need to believe in themselves. It's difficult down there, it's difficult when you get beat,
02:12 but next game's another game, so we've got to go again.
02:15 Thank you very much.
02:17 Thank you.
02:18 It's not easy to lose any of the summer games, but today and yesterday are important because
02:25 that's a four-nil game. When the team from Arsenal can't get forward, like the first
02:31 game, two-nil on the half, and the goal on the half has put them in the final, because
02:36 they've looked out of the four-nil. What are we going to look back on in that game to
02:42 get the experience to move forward?
02:44 I think every loss is more important than the whole thing. I enjoy that, and unfortunately
02:57 we've matched them more than the first half, we've had a bad mental game like that after
03:08 we settled better. They've got the ball on the pitch, the pitch was good, but it was
03:14 a good thing for two-nil. But of course they're playing more with it. They've played with
03:20 the players, they've been really good today. They've shifted the ball really well, they've
03:27 switched the ball really well, but it was more than the first half that we've won against
03:31 them.
03:32 That's the difficult thing, when you're not in the middle of a game, the team create
03:36 a difference too. The ball wasn't directly with them, but they certainly played a full
03:40 small too. The second goal just before the equaliser, they didn't have a chance to score,
03:45 and then they got the half-point, so they were in the lead. I'm not sure if they were
03:51 in the lead on the first half. Where's the pressure coming from on goal? Because I'm not
03:57 going to be able to score a goal or a penalty, and we need to be able to block that, so the
04:05 goal was a penalty.
04:08 The pressure is in the pressure, when you're in the habit of running every week, the pressure
04:20 is there. When you're down there, when you're missing a game, the pressure is there. We have
04:28 goals, we've got the time in our hands, and that's really frustrating because you're not
04:33 going to be able to score a goal, and you're not going to be able to score a penalty.
04:38 You're not going to be able to score a goal, and you're not going to be able to score a
04:42 penalty. You're not going to be able to score a goal, and you're not going to be able to
04:46 score a penalty.
04:47 You're not going to be able to score a goal, and you're not going to be able to score a
04:50 penalty.
04:51 You're not going to be able to score a goal, and you're not going to be able to score a
04:54 penalty.
04:55 You're not going to be able to score a goal, and you're not going to be able to score a
04:58 penalty.
04:59 The goals are still there. We've tried a few games here and there, but as I said, we're
05:06 losing goals, we're losing today. We've got to get out of here, we've got to grip out
05:11 of here, we've got to get out of here.
05:13 It's going to take a while, most teams pick up injuries, and we're going to have to
05:19 take a break for a while.
05:21 You talked about big games, big games, 1-1, and I'm not surprised because I think it
05:30 was starting line-up, it was great, the bench was great. But goals win games.
05:39 Goals win games, brings prizes. Three big performances in the last three games, I'm
05:44 not surprised. I showed the fans that there's a bit of progress to be made in the next
05:51 few games, where there's a chance to play. That's the main thing now.
05:55 Me too, you play for me, you're involved, you play in football games, you're there to
06:02 test me, to play against the best. There are two games there, against the best, and
06:09 well, we've got two games, two games in the top of the league. For me, it's important
06:17 to come back, but of course we need the points, the pressure is still on them, and the way
06:25 they push each other and the flint behind them, they're dropping points. So it's all
06:31 important to them, but we need to make sure that we have the strength to get the 12th
06:38 goal, and that's the biggest challenge for us, to get a goal in the top of the league.
06:42 Thank you very much today, and thank you to the fans who came out this morning.
06:48 Yeah.
