00:00Bristol Rovers' James Wilson is hoping and praying for an unlikely miracle when it comes to the Gats being able to survive in Ligue 1 and avoid relegation.
00:11This though remains unlikely due to Burton Albion's superior goal difference.
00:18Yeah, today was, I think we hoffed them off for the first half. I think we just ran out of legs and then they got on top of us.
00:26I think it's been the story for a lot of the season. We haven't been strong enough in those moments, strong enough in games in general.
00:33So yeah, it's a tough one to take today, but it's not just today, it's been the whole season.
00:38Punished by a good team, but I still think we can avoid that moment.
00:41So that's a tough thing to take, but then we've got people on the pitch that aren't really fit enough in that moment,
00:49aren't strong enough in that moment. So yeah, it's tough.
00:52As a senior player then, how disappointing is that really?
00:54Yeah, it's really disappointing, but it's been the case for the last, not just the last nine games in this bad run,
01:00it's been the case most of the season. We picked up some good results, but nowhere near enough in general.
01:05I just pray that they don't get any points and then it's all down to the last day and we can give it a good go on the last day.
01:11And Bristol City's Naki Wells has said that all focus for the Robins is now on their Saturday lunchtime kick-off
01:17with Preston North End in what is their final regular championship match of the season,
01:22as they look to finally secure their place in the playoffs at the end of the campaign.
01:26Yeah, huge, obvious, huge disappointment amongst the group.
01:30You know, we came here hoping and planning to try and get a lot better result than we did today,
01:38but, you know, we didn't turn up and perform, you know, to our best of abilities.
01:44Credit to Leeds, they're really bad at the side.
01:46Today we have to dust ourselves down and prepare for the weekend.
01:49There's no time to dwell. We prepare, we get focused.
01:52You know, what is essentially a cup final for us on Saturday at Ashton Gate,
01:57and, you know, to be in this position now, we have to be grateful.
02:02Obviously, hugely disappointed. A lot of heads down in that group, but we gather ourselves.
02:08We lost to the better side tonight, and we have to reflect and get prepared for Saturday.
02:13All right.
