Kosta Grozos on shoulder injury and facing Auckland FC on New Year's Day

Transcript

00:00A bit of pain, a bit of concern there towards the end of last week?

00:03No, shoulders are okay.

00:05Just a little niggle I've been going on for a while,

00:06but nothing that I can't overcome.

00:09It's just a shoulder.

00:10I don't need it as much as another sport,

00:12but it's fine doing some rehab, so all good to go.

00:15In terms of last week, I guess the crazy sort of end to the game,

00:18is that something you need to put to bed nice and quickly?

00:22Well, yeah.

00:23Obviously, conceding five at home is not the way you want to go.

00:26Scoring four, you'd think to win,

00:27but, yeah, I think it's something that we need to look at

00:30and, you know, that we have,

00:31and I'm sure that we focus on being on top of that next week.

00:35What was it, mate?

00:36Have you broke it down on where we went wrong defensively?

00:39Yeah, I just don't think we were set up.

00:41Sorry, we were set up.

00:42Just mentally, we weren't there, you know, first and second balls.

00:45We were sort of falling to them.

00:46We weren't getting into position early,

00:47but, yeah, that's put to bed now.

00:49We look forward to this week playing against Auckland.
