00:00Neil, a late 2-1 defeat against a good will zone side.

00:03Must obviously be a tough one to take there tonight.

00:06Yeah, tough to go behind to a soft penalty.

00:10That bit was tough, I've watched it back.

00:11I think it's soft.

00:12If you start giving them, there'll be one or two a game.

00:16And you can't catch a break at the moment with something like that.

00:19But we responded well, we grew in the game.

00:22Back end of the first half, we were better.

00:25And then, I thought second half, we just started to pick up momentum

00:28when we scored the goal.

00:29We were just about to make some subs and the second goal goes in.

00:33So, it's a blow.

00:35But we played, I felt, with a lack of energy and desire at times on Saturday.

00:46I didn't think that was the case today.

00:47I thought these boys put in a real shift and had a go.

00:50And when you're down there and things aren't going well, that's what happens.

00:54Yeah, I mean, as you say, obviously, the ref gives the penalty.

00:57But you really then, you know, grew into the game sort of in that first half

01:01and then not so early in the second half.

01:03And got the equal as Ole Samson, first goal for the club.

01:05Obviously, good for him to get up and running.

01:07And you really had some momentum at that point.

01:09Yeah, and we were trying to make the subs.

01:11People were getting tired at that point.

01:12And, yeah, just as we were about to make them, the second goal goes in.

01:17We just got it wrong on the edge of the box from a first deflection.

01:20And that's the breaks when it goes against you.

01:22That's what happens.

01:23But, you know, I asked for more energy, tempo, team spirit, fight.

01:29I thought we did all them things.

01:31We lacked a little bit of quality at times because when you're trying to give all them

01:36things then to calm your mind and calm your body.

01:38And when you're not winning games, you can get a little bit nervous.

01:44And the boys tried, really, really worked hard today.

01:48And I know that's the minimum requirement.

01:49But, you know, we've just got to stick together, everyone at the club

01:52and ride this sort of terrible start we've had, really.

01:57Yeah, I mean, obviously, it's a tricky start results-wise.

01:59And I'm guessing the Dresden is going to be a bit flat, obviously, with a late goal.

02:02But I guess, obviously, you've got to build on, you know, the intensity that was there today

02:06and obviously pick them up sort of mentally, you know, to go again and sort of, you know, look to go on a run.

02:11Yeah, well, you know, we've got two brutally tough games in 24 hours.

02:14Now, part of the poor way, York at home, York haven't got a game Saturday.

02:19So, you know, it's going to be a real test of our physical and mental capabilities.

02:24And, yeah, you know, we've got to pick the players up.

02:28You know, we're working to try and bring one or two players in to try and support the group and take us forward.

02:34But it's not been the start we wanted.

02:36It's 10 days into the season and it's been a bit flat for us.

02:41Yeah, I mean, nice to say, obviously, results-wise, it's not what you wanted.

02:44But as you say, only 10 days in, three games in, obviously, you know, no time to panic, is it?

02:47And it's just, you know, got to do the right things and it will turn.

02:51Yeah, we've just got to stick together.

02:53I know that's, you know, any credits I've got from last season will soon run out, I know that.

02:58But we've got to stick together as a group and we've got to keep fighting and hope that it will turn.

03:04But momentum is hard when you lose confidence and you don't win a game, you forget what it's like to win one.

03:11And that's what's happening to us tonight.

03:13But if we fight for everything, then we give ourselves a good chance with the players we have got.
