00:00When you were king, if you're not surprised, it's today for the players, did you feel like there was, to get the game, you knew it was coming your way?
00:05100% yeah, and I said that Millwall imposed their selves on us, we had them home, we had the ball a lot, do you know what I mean, to start with in the game,
00:15put them in trouble and didn't play in front of them too much, didn't inject enough tempo into it, and Millwall did, doing too many first books.
00:25Listen, there's going to be times when you can't stop what they do, but you've got to stand up to it, because if they want to play direct,
00:30OK, but you must compete first ball, second ball, but all of a sudden that became the pattern, and then they hit the bar from it,
00:36one of those moments on the edge of the box, that was a warning, then they had a couple of free kicks, it was a warning,
00:42yeah, and we didn't deal with it, we got stuck in that pattern then of them imposing their selves.
00:47Was it a big surprise that they seemed to have more in the ranks? That's been a hallmark of your team so far, hasn't it?
00:55Yeah, I don't know if surprise is the right word, so don't get labelled with that, that's what I'm disappointed about, yeah,
01:00because like I said, there's no surprise, we know what we're going to face, a really motivated, high-energy Millwall team, yeah, we knew that.
01:10Did Dwayne just deserve his chance today with Sam Greenwood suspended, do you feel like he's been pushing for it?
01:15He's been pushing, he's done well in the Cup game, he's done well every time he's come on the pitch, yeah, so he did deserve it,
01:24and again today, we had to make changes, and the boys who came on did have a more positive impact on the pitch, definitely,
01:35but it was tough for them, in a way, because the game had already gone, if we'd have got something out of that, it would have been an unreal comeback,
01:42so despite how dominant we were in terms of possession and territory and opportunity in the second half,
01:50yeah, there was more of a risk element to it because of the nature of the game.
01:54Has that given you a lot of thinking for Watford on Wednesday, or is that always the case?
01:59It's always the case because we're still learning about all the boys, you know what I mean, and definitely the case, and it'll probably continue,
02:08I think it's just horrible sitting here when you've got beat, no matter what's happened, you know what I mean, so yeah,
02:13probably two separate issues, if we'd have won, I'd be sitting here happy, but still with headaches, right, what am I going to do Wednesday?
02:19It certainly makes it easier when you've won to be thinking about the next one.
02:21I think you touched on it, but after Oxford, you didn't want to say too much in the two halves,
02:25you thought it was a bit different today, we can't do that again, that kind of thing?
02:28Yeah, it's just the thing that started today, which, yeah, I won't accept, yeah, definitely.
