00:00Stuart, obviously a key fixture this one, you've come out on the wrong end of it, what
00:07were your thoughts on the game?
00:08I thought it was very close, I think ultimately they were better in both boxes than us, I
00:15thought probably they were the better team first half, I think we were second half, but
00:20they were very organised and took the two chances that they got and defended their box
00:26well.
00:27What did you say to your players at the end there after that little scuffle, hopefully
00:31that was nothing serious.
00:33Handbags.
00:34What did you say to your players in that huddle there, because obviously they could get very
00:40down about a result like this, seeing your rivals go above you at the top of the league
00:44table.
00:45At the end of the day, before Christmas we were 6, 7, 8 points behind Bury at one point,
00:53we've come into this fixture ahead, so we've gone 15 games unbeaten and I said to him at
01:00the end of the day tonight it's three points, that's the reality of the situation and titles
01:05aren't won in January, Cole knows that, I know that and there's a long way to go and
01:10I'm sure he'll be reminding his players of that in there now.
01:14And it's about us now reacting against Haybridge on Saturday and ensuring that we come back
01:18and we give a reaction because I expect one, because we weren't at the races tonight, Bury
01:24were excellent at stopping us playing the way we wanted to play and made it really difficult
01:30for us.
01:31Tell us about bringing in your new signing, young lad from Ipswich Town, great to get
01:36a Premier League Academy player over.
01:38Superb, yes, it's thanks to Chris and Dave Wright at Ipswich for allowing him to come
01:45to us first and foremost, I know the lad quite well and I think he'll fit into the way we
01:49play.
01:51Today we couldn't get him and Charlie Warren and our attacking midfielders on the ball
01:59as well as we'd like to today and that's credit to Bury and the way they set up but I think
02:04in other games from here to the end of the season we'll see a lot more of him and I think
02:08he'll be a threat for us.
02:10Thanks very much for talking to us.
02:12No problem.
