00:00Should Harrison Burrows have had a penalty late on?
00:03No, not for me. Not any of that in that mad little five minutes. Nothing in that at all now.
00:11The performance overall, what do you reckon?
00:13Just lethargic and leggy and no energy really. They cause us problems. They had a stretch at the top of the pitch and we sat deep.
00:23Our two midfield players sat too deep. We never made contact with their midfield players.
00:27They played in the box and we never stepped into it. We changed a couple of things around at half-time.
00:31We had to be a little bit more brave and get up the pitch.
00:34We were more bothered about a one ball over the top for Armstrong who's got pace and power.
00:40But if we're going to go after their midfield players, because their midfield players were better than our two midfield players in the first half
00:47and they dominated the game. But we still had the best chances. I think we had three or four really good chances.
00:53The control of the game was theirs. The best chances were ours.
00:58Flipped it around a little bit after 55-60 minutes. We got more control in the game there.
01:06Rhian gave us some more energy. Gus gave us the energy and control that he can do.
01:13We got ourselves in front and then we were okay but not good enough really to go and go two or three.
01:23Even though we had little opportunities, transition, counter-attack and we should have been better.
01:29But they were always in the game. I've got to say if I was their manager I'd have been disappointed to walk away with no points today from a really good point of view.
01:39The goal really summed us up a little bit. There's about four or five mistakes in there.
01:46We have an opportunity to stop across. We have an opportunity to clear a ball. We have an opportunity to secure it.
01:52We don't do any of that and then they find two or three passes, slice through us and find a finish.
01:57The end bit, I know everybody's walking away thinking we should have something from that.
02:03I'm just disappointed that we get to 90 minutes and we don't do enough.
02:07But we weren't good enough tonight in possession and mostly for me lacking energy out of possession.
