00:00David, you've created a lot of charities in that game, how do you reflect on it?

00:07Maybe a billion pound difference, possibly, you know what I mean?

00:14But overall, it's a game against 11 v 11, so that's how we start.

00:20I thought we played well today, I did.

00:23We've got a good away record, I hope the people who haven't watched

00:26they recognise maybe why, we've done really well and today we've done well.

00:31When we lost Cairn, we were just a wee bit disrupted for about 10-15 minutes,

00:35I thought we'd started the game well.

00:37In that period, we lost the goal, dropped a runner,

00:42but it'd be hard to be disappointed with all the stuff we've done.

00:46I'm disappointed because we didn't win,

00:48disappointed because we've got a couple of injuries,

00:50but not disappointed with how the players are going about it.

00:54Right to the end, they kept going, kept trying to get a goal,

00:57trying to get us back in the game.

00:58The one thing I would say, we were never out of the game at 2-0.

01:01There was always a chance if we could get one,

01:03then we had a chance of getting another.

01:05Do you have any information on Cairn yet?

01:06No, no, no.

01:07Is it hamstring?

01:08Don't know, don't know yet.

01:09Do you have any injuries?

01:12Yeah, just Jack felt his hamstring a little bit as well,

01:15so we just need to be careful on these boys.

01:17Was it a tough decision for him to get back on Cairn's suspension?

01:20No, not really.

01:21It was a tougher decision to take Jimmy Gardner off for ten minutes ago,

01:24who was probably as good as any player on the pitch to Jimmy Gardner today,

01:27but we knew that he was one booting away and we had to protect him,

01:31especially with the boys going away from the AFCON.

01:34Final one, Joe, and then we'll go over it.

01:37Is that what you message was to him when he came up?

01:40Yeah.

01:41Absolutely.

01:42Yep.

01:43Did you have your hand up?

01:45Yes.

01:46Hi Dean.

01:47Hi.

01:48When you get the chances to do that, I'd love to say that I could take it.

02:00I wanted to take the chance to get into the top.

02:03We were probably fifth, sixth, seventh over the weekend,

02:06so we've been in the top six.

02:07But I think today might have even got us in the top four if we got a result today.

02:10I'm not sure exactly.

02:12And I don't want to miss the chances.

02:14I think in football you get a chance, you've got to try and take it.

02:17It wasn't for the want of trying today, that's for sure.

02:20We actually challenged the players to come to Chelsea and show that we could match them.

02:26Maybe we just ran short of the quality required when we got the chances.

02:31We didn't quite take two or three opportunities.

02:35I think everybody in the stadium, when they see Cole Palmer going through and go on his left foot like that,

02:41everybody is nearly saying it probably looks like a goal.

02:45And that's why we just dropped them at an important moment.

02:50Hi David.

02:51You've lost two key players to the AFCON that's coming up already.

02:56But to lose maybe Dewsbury Hall as well, you've been such a key player for you.

03:00How much more is that?

03:02Well, at the moment we don't know if we're losing Dewsbury Hall, so we're not sure about that.

03:06But losing the two boys who are going to the AFCON is a miss.

03:09But I've said in all my press interviews, we hugely support the AFCON.

03:14We support the boys who are going to play for their countries.

03:16It's a great honour for them.

03:17And, you know, we wish them well.

03:20If you sign African players, you have to accept that's part of what happens.

03:24Is that the reality of the squad situation?

03:26Yeah, you're right.

03:31Yeah, we are.

03:32We're not gifted with loads and loads of numbers and lots of players around the place.

03:36So we're well aware of that.

03:39But I have to say the ones who ever have brought in, whatever they've done,

03:41have done great and got us in a decent enough position.

03:44Today, if we got a result, you know, we could have found ourselves probably

03:47in amongst the top boys.

03:48But I hope we can get another couple of chances at it before the end of the season.

03:53Yes?

03:54Over there.

03:55Hi, David.

03:56I'm feeling when I'm dying.

03:57We'll just leave off the comments on the left-hand side too.

04:01Would you say there's a potential issue when you have your best players

04:06in front of the left-hand side?

04:09We thought it might have been at the start of the season.

04:11I don't think it has been this season.

04:13Ellie's been brilliant on the right.

04:15So we've been quite happy with him.

04:17And Jack's been very good as well.

04:20So we think we've found a balance.

04:22I think the bigger competition is we've got Tyler Diblin as well,

04:25who has to challenge those boys to get in the team.

04:27As you say, James Garner was excellent today.

04:31Apologies if you get the sack.

04:33Is there any concern over his future at all?

04:37Because it seems there are consequences around his contract situation.

04:40Well, look, I wouldn't be letting him go.

04:43So I think the club will do everything they can to make sure that he stays.

04:49It shows signs.

04:50It shows probably a difference.

04:51I don't know if many players were after the Everton players in the past possibly,

04:55but they're now beginning to show a bit of interest in some of the players,

04:58which is a good sign.

05:00So hopefully he signs a new contract when it's the time.

05:05But he's got the end of the season.

05:06He's got an option as well.

05:07So obviously we'd be on that if we need to be.

05:11Any further questions or are we done?

05:14Okay.

05:16Nice seeing you.

05:17See you later.

05:18See you later.
