00:00Crystal City's Adam Randall was incredibly frustrated following the full-time whistle
00:05after the Robins had lost 2-1 at home against Queen's Park Rangers in the Championship
00:10and he made clear it came down to small details on the day.
00:15Incredibly frustrating. I think we were a lot different in the two halves of football.
00:22I think the first half we were in control massively and we had all the chances, we had all the ball.
00:27Our pressing was very good, we were beating their press and then the second half we took our foot slightly off the base and they capitalised on that.
00:36As you say, a deserved first half lead, a well-worked goal. What was the message at half-time?
00:41Yeah, Neto did amazingly. I don't know, I haven't seen it back. I think he kept it in play, he must have done.
00:46But yeah, how he's hooked that back in from now I've got no idea.
00:49But the message was just trying to keep it the same. We were trying to shore up our out of possession bits a little bit
00:55and trying to just be a little bit tighter. But yeah, I think we struggled with the second balls and the winning of first duels and things that ultimately cost us.
01:05And those little moments that just changed the momentum of the game, which they did better than us in the second half and ultimately won it for them.
01:11And Bristol Rovers assistant head coach Rhys Carr was pleased after the Gas won 1-0 against Cheltenham in the EFL Trophy.
01:18Yeah, really pleased, really pleased. Like we said before the game, it's a game, every game that we take serious.
01:23And I thought the lads applied themselves so well. The intensity without the ball was brilliant to keep the pressure higher up on the pitch,
01:29which is something that we want to do. With the ball, the long build, the short build, really putting together the game plan that we wanted to do tonight.
01:36So yeah, the application, the professionalism, the boys tonight.
01:39So plenty of changes for both sides, but it felt like you had control for the most part.
01:43Yeah, but of course, you know, if we're nitpicking and even better if, could we have been a little bit more clinical in the first half and put a couple of chances away?
01:50But like I say, the way they've applied themselves, they've got their rewards tonight.
01:54And a much changed goalkeeper and defence for a clean sheet, that always gives you a foundation.
01:58Yeah, brilliant, brilliant. Delighted with a clean sheet. And we just said in there, you know, delighted for Brad, because he's a good goalkeeper.
02:02He's obviously, he's rehabbed recently and there's a little bit of a tip of the hat to the performance team as well.
02:07So there's a few lads in there tonight that, you know, like Ryan Howley as well, like Ruel,
02:10the lads that have been out and have been missing minutes, but they've been pushed.
02:13They've been pushed.
02:14They've been pushed.
