00:00Yeah, I think it was always difficult going into the game tonight, obviously, off the back of the first leg.

00:05The message was pretty much, you know, go and leave it all out there.

00:09Go and be brave. Go and do us. Go and play.

00:12Go and try and make your families proud, etc.

00:14And to be fair to the lads, I thought, you know, first 15-20, we came out, started well, got into some good areas,

00:18but ultimately, you know, lacked conviction and quality in and around the penalty box.

00:23And then, yeah, frustrating to concede, I think, the set piece, you know, probably more what leads to it.

00:28It's off-rowing 25 yards inside the attacking half and turn it over cheap.

00:32And before you know, they've got a corner and we're 1-0 down.

00:34So we just spoke about it.

00:35I think, you know, credit to Sheffield United and Chris, the staff, the players, the fans here, you know, in terms of, you know, doing it.

00:42It's not easy, so credit to them.

00:44And they definitely deserve it across the two legs.

00:46But, you know, we have to reflect and use tonight to be getting better.
