00:00Bristol City were forced to settle for a draw against Charlton Athletic in their first home championship match of the season.

00:070-0 was the final score.

00:11The expectation was a win and of course we are disappointed in this direction.

00:16We have a standard to win our home games and we don't realise on the way what we want.

00:23I would say in the first half we go in a good direction, we break them down but in the end we were in our decision-making in the last third,

00:31not always on the level of what we want.

00:34Of course, Charlton with a good energy on the way, with momentum on the way, we could see that it's a reason behind why they promoted.

00:44On the same time, I think this game gave us some good feedback on what we can improve to have also more control over the whole game time.

00:56The second half we played too much, the game from Charlton, what they want and then this was more so a 50-50 game.

01:05There were plenty of shots, weren't there? Perhaps not the clear-cut chances to get the ball in the back of the net.

01:10Yeah, I think these are some moments where we could do it better and this is decision-making.

01:15And yet another loss for Bristol Rovers, this time away to Chesterfield, leaving Daryl Clark again disappointed with his side's performance.

01:25It's a tough afternoon for us. I have to choose my worlds carefully so I don't get myself in trouble.

01:33But, you know, we start the first half, we needed to make ourselves hard to beat against a good possession-based team.

01:40If they have one chance from a corner, we have a great chance, we promise.

01:45And then the decision changes the dimensions of the game, which, listen, from our perspective, is very, very, very soft.

01:53And, you know, you can do all your work and all your stuff like that, but if it's not going to be officiated properly, we're in a bit of trouble.

02:00You mentioned it there, but that 60-second period, the red cards to the goal, that changes everything, doesn't it?

02:06Yeah, of course it does. Of course it does. But also, that does an excuse for me when we get to 1-1.

02:11That's a mentality thing. I'm very angry with a group on that.
