00:00You mentioned Ali growing into the game.

00:01Do you think that was the case for everyone, even the supporters?

00:04The first goal was seen to settle everyone down.

00:07Yeah, but that's the point.

00:08The message at half-time is you don't get...

00:10We were excellent.

00:11We were fantastic first half.

00:12Like I said, anyone who's watched Charlton has not seen them dominated like that.

00:17And that's credit to us because they're a handful.

00:21And like I said, I know how Nathan had approached the game against us.

00:24So we were very, very good and we wanted more of the same.

00:30And one thing you have to ignore is any anxiousness creeping in.

00:34So the message was that if you feel it from anywhere, if there's noises,

00:36they're still going to try and play in the break.

00:38They're still going to be a threat set plays.

00:40And they'll have the moments because they're very good at it.

00:43But that can't change our approach.

00:45So that's, again, another pleasing thing I felt from the players,

00:48how calm they were and how controlled they were.

00:52Can those games be as hard as any?

00:54They've tripped North End up for several years.

00:56Yeah, well, they are the ones.

00:57But you mentioned the fans, everyone gets into it.

01:00And I think you, I can't remember which press conference we were talking about

01:03and my answer, whatever the question was, was,

01:06no, those games take care of themselves.

01:07We're playing the top of the league.

01:09And then it is, whether it's for players, the fans, everyone comes.

01:12And there's a big, we want everyone to turn up at games like that.

01:15And the players did and we want the fans to as well.

01:17So that's what's important.

01:19There's no gimmies in this league at all.

01:21Like I said, the ones who are probably singing our praise are now

01:24the ones who are saying we should be getting relegated this season.

01:26And so we've got no right whatsoever to be beating anyone.

01:29We've got to earn it.

01:30And everyone's got to come and turn up and help us get over the line.

01:33Yeah, a good moment for Jebberson.

01:35But does everyone buy into that?

01:36Everyone enjoys seeing him get his first goal, he looked like, on the pitch.

01:39Yeah, Jebbo's a likeable lad.

01:41He's a good character around.

01:42The players, they like him.

01:45I've just said downstairs, listen, everyone knows I think he's a great lad.

01:49But I forgot how much he frustrated me, you know.

01:51And he's, yeah, I want to slap him about a few times already while he's been here.

01:56But, yeah, it's like I'm starting again with him.

02:00But you can see he's got big talent, big potential, even the goal.

02:04It's fantastic from Alfie, but it's Jebbo's athleticism that gets him there

02:08and he gets to tap him in that desire to go and score.

02:11But while he's working as hard as he does for the team,

02:13his teammates will be all over him and they'll have that.

02:16Do you feel a bit of a farther figure for him then?

02:18He looks like a player that needs him.

02:19I want to distance myself from him, that's Yuley's role.
