00:00A late 3-2 defeat against Hadley must obviously be frustrating after a pretty positive performance

00:05today during the game and obviously some decisions were tough to take but you did play well and

00:12create a lot today.

00:13Yes, I think we've probably created more chances in this game than some of the games that we

00:17have gone on and won or got a point from but be tuning up out of time and lose 3-2, relevant

00:22of what's happened in the game, you've got to be better than that, a bit naive from us

00:26really, moments in the game that we should have controlled and looked after the ball

00:30and there were moments when we should have just taken our chances and we had six half

00:33chances and three or four decent balls into the box so it's real tough ones to take.

00:41Obviously straight after the game it's hard to look back at the positives but there were

00:45plenty of positives today so plenty of chances so obviously you've got to learn to manage

00:51the game when you're up like that I guess and take those chances and kill it off maybe.

00:55Yes, I think so, you've got to be, at the end of the day we are where we are in the

01:00league because we don't do those things at the minute so you can see the two goals that

01:05I think we should have dealt with better from deliveries, I think we've got to dominate

01:09areas like that, I think chances inside 10 yards we've had in the second half we've got

01:14to do better with, their second goal is top draw, you won't see a better goal than that

01:20down here this season in terms of how they've played, they're a good side and they work

01:24hard and they're good at the good things and the bad things and that's something that

01:29we lack a little bit of so it's one of them, it's tough to take but we've got to accept

01:34it and move on and we've got to come out against Saturday now.

01:36Yes, I mean that second goal from Kieran Rodgers where he's got the ball back to goal and just

01:40spun and found the corner and there's not a lot that can be done about that sort of thing.

01:43No, and listen the two passes previously of the top draw so I just think we've got to

01:48take it on the chin and say well done for that goal but it's the other two and then

01:52what we don't do to score our goals.

01:55Half time though, you must have been really happy there, you braced into that 2-0 lead

01:58and played really well in that first half.

02:00We come in and normally we don't start well and it goes against us and we've got a mountain

02:05to climb, we didn't start well and we were 2-0 up, I don't know maybe it was difficult

02:10for the lads to work out how it happened but nonetheless they don't stop and they've come

02:16and got three points they deserve now.

02:18Lamar and Charlie both came in today, thoughts on them?

02:24Yes, we're a bit fed bear on our squad a little bit at the minute so we've had to bring a

02:29couple of players in, help us out, give us numbers and be able to get through, we've

02:34got quite a lot of injuries and to be fair it's good to have a contact with them that

02:38can help us out but it's not long-term fixes but anything to positive, two good quality players.

02:44And felt they made an impact?

02:47Yes, Charlie won a lot of things aerially and we probably didn't get around him, second

02:51balls, Lamar goes in and works hard, he's industrious, he breaks things up and he looks

02:56to get the ball moving quickly and they were definitely a positive for us, irrelevant of

03:00the result.

03:01Adam Pointer looked a real threat again?

03:04Yes, the last six weeks he's been our standout player and to be honest, big signing for us

03:10when we brought him in, he's been really positive for us and his attitude's really good, he's

03:14played in four or five different positions for me, even ones he doesn't want to and just

03:17gets on with it and if players could learn from him.

03:21Obviously the red card at the end is a poor challenge to say the least from them, obviously

03:28it's rightly sent off.

03:30Yes, it's a red card, there's a reaction coming from it and there's an aftermath of everything

03:34that's gone on but that's got no bearing on what's happened in the result of games, those

03:40sort of things, you don't want them to happen, they happen, we've got to move on as long

03:44as nothing serious happens from it.

03:46The lad's probably struggling to play now for a couple of weeks but I don't think it's

03:50anything more than that.

03:52Not long-term then?

03:53Hopefully not.

03:54Ballum, obviously at home on Saturday, take the positives from today and chances created

04:01and look to get back to winning ways with that one?

04:03Yes, I think we've got to be aiming to get three points against Saturday as we did try

04:07to do today and just go from there with it.

04:13It is tough in the moment but you've got to look back at the things you did do well and

04:18keep trying to build on that in the next few games.

04:24There's things we could have done better, all over the pitch, off the pitch, as a coach

04:28and set-up, as a plan set-up but that's probably why we are where we are.

04:33Sometimes we make the right choice, sometimes we don't and it's cost us today.

04:37We've got to get back to winning ways.
