00:00 It's a really good question.
00:02 And I'm not backtracking from the path we've taken with a lot of those younger players.
00:11 I didn't expect at this stage of the season to have so many of them all together.
00:16 When you have a look at it, and please don't see this as an excuse,
00:22 because those young boys are all good football players.
00:26 There's some, as I said earlier, poor football performed out there today.
00:32 But when you've got so many games sitting on the sidelines,
00:39 so much experience sitting on the sidelines,
00:42 it just makes the job so much harder to play first grade for those younger players.
00:46 So they're hurting there, and I'm hurting for them.
00:50 You mentioned experience on the sidelines. Is that Elliot's sort of a chance?
00:55 I think Elliot will be a chance next week.
00:57 He was probably right to play tonight, but he wouldn't have been able to then back up and play next week.
01:03 But I've just got to be patient and keep working with the younger players,
01:12 because those boys who are injured, they're not back for a number of weeks.
01:17 We've got two to three months of this.
01:24 But I can assure you we'll keep working at it and play better.
01:28 I feel sorry for the good number of fans out there tonight.
01:32 I felt embarrassed for that performance, but we'll just keep working hard.
01:42 We'll just keep working hard.
