00:00We re-equalise and get back in the game, but I thought the lads showed character throughout.
00:06Obviously, they've scored a couple of goals towards the end, but they're bringing quality off the bench.
00:12And yeah, I think the lads should be proud of the performance.
00:16Just talk us through what you're thinking for your goal.
00:18A bit of a blur, a strange one, but obviously a big moment for you.
00:22Yeah, I've just sort of made a run forward and carried on my press.
00:25I'm not sure really what service I was doing, but obviously it's fallen on a plate for me.
00:31And I'm in the right position at the right time and luckily there to put it in the back of the net.
00:37And obviously, I take that all day in front of the Kop.
00:39It's a bit of a dream come true for myself.
00:41So yeah, really, really happy with it.
00:43Maybe one of the easiest, but one of the most memorable goals of the game is obviously you're a good fan of.
00:50Yeah, of course, like I just said, to score at the Kop is a dream come true for myself.
00:55One that I'll never forget.
00:57And like you say, yeah, I was just happy to be in the right place at the right time and put it in the net.
01:02Friends and family here tonight to see that?
01:04Yeah, lots of friends and family.
01:06My phone's sort of blown up a little bit.
01:09But yeah, they'll all be really proud of me.
01:11Doesn't that help you kick off from there?
01:14Obviously, you've got two and two now this season.
01:16I've been hoping for a big second half of the season personally.
01:19Yeah, definitely.
01:19I think I've been obviously playing back in my normal position, higher up as an eight.
01:25And I always fancy myself when I'm in that position to get chances and create chances.
01:29So yeah, hopefully I can keep carrying it on my form in the league.
01:33And we can keep pushing up the table.
01:36We've got a few games in hand.
01:37So yeah, looking forward to getting back to work in the league.
01:40Yeah, so you've just got to refocus now for Blackpool.
01:43That's also a massive game.
01:45We just need to take a lot of positives into that, I suppose.
01:47And just calm down from the front of night and move on.
01:52Yeah, I think obviously with the performance we've put on tonight, the lads have showed what we can do.
01:58Obviously, playing against tough opposition, we need to...
02:01It's obviously easy to come here and do that in this stadium in front of all the fans.
02:05We need to obviously take this into the league now and just show the character that we showed tonight.
02:11And hopefully we'll start picking up some good results.
02:16Did you visualise going into the half last night?
02:19Yeah, I did, to be fair.
02:20I didn't think it would come like that.
02:22But yeah, just that moment to put the ball in the back of the net at that end is a dream come true for myself.
02:30And I'm over the boom of it.
02:31What was it last night?
02:33I think it was a three-kick, probably 30 yards out in the top corner, maybe something like that.
02:39And, I mean, you mentioned it there.
02:41How big a challenge would it be to come down from this as a group and to go at it again and get to Blackburn?
02:46Yeah, I think obviously we've got a lot of young players in the dressing room.
02:50Like I just said, to come here and put on a performance and get up for the game is obviously easy because we're playing in front of 60-odd thousand.
02:59And if you're not up for this sort of game, then you shouldn't be playing football.
03:03But yeah, we've got to take belief and confidence that we can put performances in like that.
03:10And yeah, like you say, hopefully just take it into the league and keep obviously pushing up the league and putting in performances like that.
03:17Do you think you're proving something to yourselves as a group in terms of what you're capable of, especially probably with the defensive side?
03:23Yeah, I think we've obviously conceded a lot of goals this year, more than we'd like.
03:31But yeah, obviously I know we've conceded four tonight, but we showed a lot of determination and putting in blocks, defending our goal like our lives depend on it.
03:41And like I say, it's easy to do that here, but we need to obviously take that now into the league.
03:46You've obviously got a lot of games in the hand for the rest of the table.
03:49Is there confidence that you can make this a really memorable season?
03:52Yeah, definitely.
03:54I think obviously the league position doesn't really, we're not in a great position at the minute, but I think the league's so tight.
04:01If you win a couple of games in that league, you can soon see yourself at the top end.
04:05So yeah, we've got to sort of try and get some momentum and use them games in hands to pick up some more points.
