00:00The last couple of minutes were torture for me. Even though they were a man down, they're still 10 of
00:04the best players in the country.
00:06Ultimately, massively proud of the players, emotional, that goes with that.
00:11But I ultimately can't believe what we've done, what we've just done in Fleetwood Town, little old Fleetwood.
00:18In the quarterfinal of the Carabao Cup.
00:21I mean, during the game, it's fair to say chances for you were few and far between.
00:27But in fairness, you matched up a good chunk of the game, didn't you?
00:31Yeah, if you understand that the game of football is going to be few and far between.
00:35Look at what they had at their disposal compared to us in every facet.
00:39There can't have been much bigger of a gap in terms of infrastructure, budget, the ability to track players.
00:49But we're never ever going to dominate that game, ever.
00:52We could play it a hundred times, we wouldn't dominate a hundred times.
00:54And this might be the one time that we won.
00:57And just ultimately, that's what the results business.
00:59We've had games this year where we've dominated and come out on the wrong side of a result.
01:05So for me, I was just so proud of the discipline, the tactically how well the boys did.
01:10Just the endeavour, the endeavour of the lads to go again and again and again and again.
01:14I think it's a huge boost for the town of Fleetwood.
01:17We're a really small, close-knit community here.
01:19I think we do a good job within the community because we are so close-knit.
01:23And we're really well represented within the community here.
01:27We only get probably average 2,000, 2,500 fans.
01:29But we've got a town of 26,000, 27,000.
01:33So for me, I couldn't be more proud of how we came out and showed what Fleetwood Town's about.
01:40And I just really, really hope that it attracts a couple more fans and helps us drive us up that
01:44table.
01:45And hopefully more big nights to come.
01:47Yeah, hopefully we're in the quarter-final.
01:48It's mental, isn't it?
01:50We're in the quarter-final of Carabao Cup.
01:52So a few more big nights to come and hopefully we can take it to the league.
01:58In fact, you spoke really highly of Arsenal and Mikel in the build-up of the game.
02:03Have you had the chance to speak to him at full-time?
02:04No, because he shook my hand two or three times and he was really, really gracious.
02:08And I can imagine it's a really disappointing night for him.
02:11But yeah, the way that he acted with class is amazing there.
02:15And I would love to catch up with him, pick his brain and learn off the best.
02:19But he's been really busy with media and all the emotion, the crowd.
02:23So we've not managed to cross that.
02:25But he said well done in the tunnel briefly and how well we did.
02:29And that was it.
02:30And obviously a shower class from him.
