00:00Is there added frustration that for the first time since October you had the lead, you had a chance to go on and hold on to something and you obviously couldn't do that?
00:09Look, for where I'm sitting, the kids had a wonder goal and smashed one in and they haven't really created much up until then and that was a shot out of nothing really.
00:20So, as I said, when you're up against it, these things happen. We've got to batten down the arches and get on with it.
00:29Is it something you need to learn from? Obviously, you're not taking the lead too often, but the fact that you had it, holding on to it, it's a wonder goal, but in future can that help you to learn?
00:36Well, look, all we can do is take the positives out of it. As I said, towards the end, we're naive. In my opinion, we didn't serve to lose the game.
00:44We've got to stay together as a group and the players have got to play their way out of it. We know we're capable. As I said, we've come here and played very well for the first 45 minutes in particular. We'll get ready for Tuesday.
01:01How do you get the mood of both players and the fans and everyone around the club up at the moment?
01:06Well, look, we're all based on results and the last seven or eight in the email we've drawn, three or four of those, the results haven't been good enough. It's quite simple.
01:17So, all you can do is try and keep morale as good as you can, keep the confidence levels as good as you can and you need someone to turn around with you and look forward to the next game on Tuesday.
01:29How important has been your personal experience, all your long history in football, has it been tough times like this?
01:33Well, it's always tough. If you're going to do ours, it's tough along the way. We had a wonderful start and we've got to find that back way, that little sparkle.
01:44We've got two or three of the lads at the top end of the pitch getting back to fitness, which is good, but obviously conceding as well, so it's a frustrating time at the minute.
