00:00Bristol Rovers' winning run in League Two came to an end, but they still didn't manage to pick up a point away at Colchester United via a 1-1 draw.
00:12Yeah, listen, I don't want to overanalyse it, to be honest. I just said the same to my players. There was a lot going off in the game. A lot of changes, a lot of formational changes. Obviously losing promise to injury, so there was a hell of a lot going on. We score a good goal, a really good goal.
00:26They start second half sloppy, they come back into it and then pretty even after that. But a lot to analyse, digest. We say something when we're disappointed when we draw a game.
00:39So we have to be at it, you know, we're a team at the minute that has to be at it to pick up the three points and we weren't quite at it today in my opinion.
00:49Now first off, ignoring the football side of it, how is promise from a human side afterwards of injuries?
00:53Yeah, I don't know. I don't know until we get it assessed. So we'll see. We'll have more information on that next week. Hopefully it's not too serious.
01:00And like you said in the first half, a difficult start, but a really good finish from Fabrizio. Was it about sucking up that pressure when the Weathers weren't always at their best?
01:08Yeah, I mean, we didn't, we were very loose in midfield, first half that I can remember, first half.
01:14And Bristol City captain Jason Knight reflected on what he described as a disappointing defeat for the Robins as they were beaten 3-1 at home by Oxford United.
01:25Yeah, obviously frustrated. I think the game was sort of in the balance early on and then it sort of gets decided on three set pieces, which is super disappointing from us because it's been a real strength from ours, especially at the start of the season, how we've defended our box.
01:42And I think that was a big downfall of ours today. They're obviously good goals by their account, but sort of really avoidable ones from our point of view. So something we look on and we'll have to get right for next week.
01:55A sucker punch on the stroke at half-time. How did that change the half-time team talk?
01:59Oh, look, I don't know. It was a frustrating first half anyway. I think the game was scrappy and there was no real rhythm to it. But like I say, set pieces have decided the game and that's something that definitely shouldn't happen, especially three of them in one game.
