00:00Never was shouting from the rooftops. There'll be a few people now thinking that we're possibly
00:05the polar opposite. I don't believe we are. We've come to a team that's playing well
00:12off the back of two defeats. Their reaction was a good performance. I thought ours was
00:17a decent performance, just a little bit loose on those key moments with the ball and without
00:23the ball. With the ball, we've had some great opportunities. We play some decent stuff.
00:32Defended when we had to, but one lapse where the detail that we've talked to the players
00:39about his run is in between centre-half and full-back and they found that pass and he's
00:46found the header. They win a tight game and small margins.
00:52Luke Ayling clears one off the line and Raksacki probably thinks he's scored.
00:55Yes, I thought Jez did well tonight. We targeted their left-back and I thought he was good.
01:04We played with a nice calmness about us. We had the best of the first 15 minutes, it was
01:10pretty even in the second 15 minutes and I thought they got a head of steam in the lead-up
01:16to half-time. In the second half, it was going to be the game, what it's going to be. We
01:22were patient and tried to find pockets and tried to find that opportunity to punish them,
01:29but we couldn't find it and they were the same. A little bit cat-and-mousey, a little
01:34bit, but I thought it was a high-quality game. Two sides that I believe are going to be there
01:40or thereabouts, even though we're off the back of two defeats now.
