00:00It's just the moments that are making it, we're kind of beating ourselves a little bit with the moments really
00:05that we're giving away and goals that we're giving away in tight clusters that are making it a lot more
00:12difficult, it's hard enough anyway, but making it a lot more difficult than it should be.
00:18Football's about moments, football's about what happens in both boxes in the end, but I think you take the moments
00:23that are totally avoidable goals that we're giving away, I actually thought we played pretty well and we're a better
00:32team for the most part and I'm disappointed that we still haven't won the game, to be truthful, I thought
00:36we had most of the pressure, I thought we defended well, pressed well, we've just given them the moments that
00:46shaped the game in some ways and then finished strongly and took something out of the game, but still a
00:51disappointment that we haven't actually won it, so yeah, mixed feelings, but disappointment is the biggest one.
00:59Yeah, there's definitely extremes to it, of course there is, the fact that it's moments, one-off moments, I think,
01:07the bigger picture in terms of the generic football, everything else that's going into the game,
01:15I think that if we're really tightening up on these moments, granted it's what defines games, but it's moments that
01:23are really causing us the problems, so if we can deal with that, a little bit of concentration, a little
01:30bit of confidence, a little bit of belief, a little bit of mentality, all that comes into making the right
01:35decisions and taking a lot of the rest of the game through this, I'd say the last three games or
01:42so,
01:43there's good things that give us a lot of encouragement that we can definitely win a lot of football matches
01:51with, and I feel like we should have won today, even though we still give too much away.
01:55No, they are switched on and concentrated, it's a variety of things, it's a variety of type of goals, so
02:03there's not a theme to it apart from the one-off moments or catching us out of the moment.
02:10Yeah, yeah, 100%, yeah, I think there's more than enough, I think goals change games and you've got to deal
02:16with it and it's part of something we have to improve on drastically, but there's more than enough, we're just
02:23making it too difficult for ourselves at the moment in certain times.
02:28I'm quite clear what direction the club needs to go in and we've just got to win games.
02:33We've got to be careful with that, I think.
02:36I understand the frustration, I understand the disappointment of the supporters, so I get it, we're all frustrated, we're all
02:43disappointed, and the players are as much as anyone, I guarantee you that.
02:50Diogo, he gives absolutely everything, he's played in different positions, he's played left-back, he's played really well at times,
02:56he gives a penalty away today, he knows that, maybe he can do a little bit better, alright, that's part
03:02of it, he's made a mistake.
03:03But he cares an awful lot and he's given everything, so I like what he brings to the team, I
03:11like what he brings to the group, I like what he brings to the whole environment and the culture that
03:16we've got.
03:19Picking team and who plays the next game, that's a whole different decision, but it's a whole different game that
03:25we've got to look forward to now.
03:26Yeah, it's been alright next week or two or three really, if you're looking at the events, but I'm pretty
03:34clear where we need to go and how we need to get there, and obviously some of the boys will
03:39be flying off around the world and different things, and the group will be split for ten days or so,
03:44but as a normal international week is, we'll have some training, we'll have one or two days off, but not
03:51too much, but we'll train and we'll get ready for the next game.
03:55Can I just check on Harry after he's come up at half down?
03:58He's just had a really bad back spasm, ten minutes to...
04:02Is that a new thing, is that something?
04:03Yeah, it's just new, yeah.
04:04You're not doing all that type things or it's not, but it's...
04:04You're not coming to play.
04:04It's the best way to use it.
04:04gangs, so we're getting all around.
04:04Not our hands were hot.
