00:00Bristol Rovers' Macaulay-Southam-Hales

00:03described the Gasser's win over Grimsby Town

00:06as unbelievable following the full-time whistle.

00:10Yeah, unbelievable.

00:12Obviously, before the game, the gaff has had been three and a half years

00:15since we kept three clean sheets in a row,

00:16so to do that first and foremost is brilliant

00:18and gives us a platform to go and get the win.

00:20We just know if we keep a clean sheet, one goal wins the game

00:22and it's turned out that way.

00:24And you scored the winner, and what a winner it was at the end of the day.

00:27Yeah, I'll have to watch it back, I haven't seen it,

00:30but it just came off a foot nice and nestled in the bottom corner.

00:33I think I'll give the assist the prom for jumping over it,

00:35but in those positions, I just thought it was the worst thing that happened,

00:37sticking it in the stand or sticking it in the goal,

00:39and it went in the goal, luckily.

00:40Yeah, what was going through your head at that moment?

00:42Because you have to get everything right for that to go in the back of the net.

00:44Yeah, first and foremost, just get contact on the ball and clean contact.

00:48If I try and take a touch there and they counter, then it's on me.

00:51So, as I said, I was sticking it in the stand or in the goal,

00:53and luckily it's winning the goal.

00:54So, the goal is massive, but for you to keep being on the pitch

00:57and have regular minutes, how good has that been able to feel?

01:00Yes, it's obviously brilliant.

01:01The lads are back four, clean sheet, whole team, clean sheet.

01:03Subs come on the pitch, clean sheet.

01:06I keep saying it because it's massive for us,

01:07but as I said, it gives us a platform to build off,

01:09and everyone's stepped on the pitch.

01:11Taylor Moore at the end, Ryan, Fabrizio, everyone plays their part.

01:14And Bristol City head coach Gerhard Struber praised the reaction of his players

01:19in their victory over Hull City at Ashton Gate,

01:22with the Robins having initially gone behind in the game

01:25before coming back to win by four goals to two.

01:28Really good, really good, especially how we react after the goal,

01:33what we conceded today was really good from the boys,

01:36how every single one takes responsibility.

01:40This was power play, but this was exactly, I think, the football,

01:45what we want to see, and especially also our fans.

01:50That response to going down a goal early,

01:52do you feel the team responded exactly how you'd like them to?

01:54Yes, I think this was exactly the reaction, how you should show.

01:59I think every single player was in a really good tension

02:05and was also ready to change the result,

02:10and I think the togetherness, the willingness in this moment was great.
