00:00Since Eddie Howe took over, especially in the last years, good form, unbelievable speed
00:10and everything, so credit to them.
00:17But we know the league can make a step forward in all the teams and we make some steps backwards
00:23in terms of where we were comparing to where we were last season, previous seasons.
00:26So, yeah, play at home, our people, and try to do it.
00:31The new manager that came in has done a very good job, got some positive results, so it's
00:35going to be a challenge again on Sunday, but that is normal, last part of the season in
00:41the best league of the world.
00:43You can't expect to go out there and have an easy win, so it's always going to be a
00:49tough one, but players have shown for the whole season that they are ready for tough
00:54games.
00:55The gap obviously becomes a little bit shorter than you expected, it's always really positive.
01:01You need that, at the end it's generating momentum, and the next few weeks are going
01:05to be critical as well.
01:07Very difficult at home as well against top opponents, they made life very, very difficult,
01:11I know Ruth very well, and how he sets up his teams, and you can see the spirit there
01:17and that they are very much alive, and yeah, they are a threat.
01:22Obviously they've scouted him, they've identified him, the way he plays, the way he goes about
01:28his business.
01:29You don't just make these appointments because you like the look of someone, you do actually
01:34a lot of work, and you bring him in with a purpose.
01:37Now if anyone believes that anything can change significantly in a short space of time, living
01:43in an alternate universe, it's not based in reality.
01:47Football, you never win every game, and you try and win every game, but everybody tries
01:51to do the same to you.
01:53Crystal Palace is a tough game for us, it's never been easy for any team going to Crystal
01:57Palace, so we'll need to go there and play well, it'll be hard to play against and make
02:02enough opportunities, but I think the bigger thing about it is just to say we picked up
02:08a good point in midweek when we came from behind and scored late on.
02:13It's always nice when you score a late winner.
