00:00Show your reflections on that game, please. It looked a bit of a battle at times in the conditions.

00:14Yeah, tough conditions, certainly worse when you're on the pitch side. Both teams tried to operate in different ways, obviously.

00:21Then we had possession, us without possession, but finding a way to get another clean sheet and a good point,

00:27and a deserved point, I think, on the day. I think it was a fair result, actually.

00:30Managers share different views, I'm not sure they'd feel that, but I thought it was a fair result.

00:35I thought both teams had good half chances, a couple of good quality chances,

00:39and both teams are going at it, and there are different ways to try and win.

00:42Draws against Arsenal and Chelsea must start to build up a little bit of confidence.

00:46Well, I think that's five out of six clean sheets, seven in ten or something like that.

00:49We knew we had to correct that early season. The challenge now is to find that balance.

00:54I've spoken about it endlessly. We were playing some tough teams.

00:57These are a good outfit, you don't spend a billion pounds and get weaker.

01:00I think they've got a good manager who's impressed so far this season,

01:03finding his way in the Premier League and how to operate with the players he's got, and he's doing a good job of it.

01:08We know some of the prowess of some of these teams, and I think for us to keep another clean sheet,

01:12and a very valid one, I thought, was pleasing.

01:15Everybody okay for City?

01:18Yeah, I mean, I'll find out what Young, I think he's suspended anyway, but he ricked his neck.

01:23Then he did a brilliant header on the far stick, and we had to take him off for both reasons,

01:26to make sure he was okay physically and also on the yellow card.

01:30I thought the subs were terrific, it's not an easy game to come into,

01:33I thought all three did really well today.

01:35John, a tricky December didn't start too well, but you must be proud and pleased at how the players have bounced back?

01:42I've never lacked pride in what we do, that's for sure.

01:45I'm pleased with the mentality, I think a lot of noise outside of what they do,

01:49and it can affect people I don't think it has this time.

01:52I think we've stayed resolute to the cause.

01:54A group of players giving everything again today, tactically,

01:57to make sure we looked after ourselves, so I'm pleased with that.

01:59Any disappointment that it could have been all three points to Kunoi?

02:03Yeah, but they could have as well.

02:04They had a couple of chances, more so second half, one bounce off the post,

02:08one flashes across the goal, I think John made a savable save,

02:11but one that he'd be pleased with.

02:13Not too much though, I must say, and we had a really good moment with Jack,

02:18and then at the end a great tackle from their defender when Illy gets a parry from the keeper

02:23and he pounces on it, but their defender makes a great challenge.

02:26Nice to send the Friedkin guys with at least a point and not see them defeat here in the first game?

02:31Yeah, it wasn't my only goal, trust me to do that.

02:34It's a nice add-on, I've had a good meeting with them, they seem like really good people,

02:40very serious people, but in a nice relaxed manner, sharing thoughts and that's gone well.

02:45But of course I said to you the other day, I'm not naïve, you've got to win games.

02:49People keep talking about my own position, win games, and they've made it clear,

02:53they're supportive of my role and what I've done here and what they hope I do.

02:56I've got to win games, I'm not naïve enough to think any other.

03:07Cool, that was a quick one.

03:09Thanks everyone, take care.
