00:00performance. Proud of them, kept playing the way we wanted to do. Showed a lot of character, a lot of belief.

00:06We were the better team. I think they've had four shots in the first half, a goal, they've scored with three of them.

00:11It's at our kiddies heel at the moment, the goals we conceded. The goal, once we go ahead 1-0, the goals we conceded.

00:17So it was straight from kick-off, really a corner. That was a pivotal part in the game.

00:21And then in 2-1, Manny's missed from four yards. He's got to score and they go up the pitch and score the third.

00:27I didn't really want to change too much at half-time. I didn't think I had to. We tweaked something in midfield.

00:33I thought the players were great second half. We knew they played a diamond. We worked on it.

00:38We knew where the areas would be to hurt them. We had to control the game. We knew the players they had.

00:44That's what we did. When you see an opposition change formation three, four times in a game, it tells you a story.

00:51They changed. They couldn't get the ball off us. James has scored. That's where we're at at the moment.

00:57We're such a young team, a little bit naive. I said before the game, two completely contrasting styles.

01:02I think we've seen that today. I was really proud of my team's performance because of the belief to keep playing the way we wanted to.

01:08Knowing or feeling that we'd get back in the game.

01:11We're playing at a young team and we just don't deal with adversity quick enough.

01:16Jack knows he should keep Wilkes on his right foot. He's come in and smashed it in.

01:20To be fair, centre-half's got to come out and close the ball down as well.

01:25After that, Jack dealt with them very well. What we wanted to do was make sure the white players defended.

01:31They're white players, not ours. Generally, we kept the ball.

01:34We looked a real threat from set-pieces. Jack Sparks' play was outstanding.

01:39At 3-0, I felt that five-minute, ten-minute period after we won 3-0, I felt we had to go through a jugular.

01:45I think if we get another one, we win the game.
