00:00 I guess that's what football is made for.
00:02 First half we didn't start bad at all,
00:07 but kind of out of nothing, one nil down,
00:10 and out of even less, two nil down.
00:13 And then the first half, there was no real momentum in it,
00:18 it didn't really get going anymore.
00:21 But I saw a team at half-time that had character,
00:25 passion, that wanted to fight.
00:27 I think the lads had a go at each other,
00:30 they went out five minutes later and they were in a huddle,
00:34 and they were ready to run their socks off,
00:38 so that's what they did and they got the rewards for it.
00:40 Look, when you concede goals like this,
00:44 it's hard to go on a tactic board and give them a solution straight away,
00:50 but in general I did think that it looks like
00:56 we were carrying a little bit of the City game still into our legs,
00:59 and I thought the biggest message was we just have to go for it.
01:04 Go for it, really go for it.
01:07 We can't ever have any regrets after we play the game,
01:12 and we can't ever leave everything on the pitch, nothing else.
01:17 And that's what they did, to be fair,
01:19 but they didn't need too much encouragement from me
01:22 because they took ownership from it themselves.
01:26 So the mixed feeling is very simple,
01:28 the two goals we conceded can't happen,
01:31 but I've been in the game long enough to know how difficult it is to come back,
01:37 especially at home when you're two goals down
01:39 and you can feel sorry for yourself and it didn't for a second.
01:43 So for that reason, the main note I want to keep
01:50 is one, belief in togetherness is what we'll need until the end of the season
01:53 to have a chance, and as well just the new players
01:57 and the players that came off the bench showed good signs,
02:01 and OK, we move on and try again next game.
