00:16We adjusted a few things throughout that first half,

00:19and then I thought for the final 20 minutes of that first half we were very good.

00:28I thought we limited an excellent team to next to nothing,

00:30and we really looked as if we might have gone ahead and scored.

00:35To come up against a top team like Burnley tonight and defend like we did was a real positive.
