00:00 Yeah, thanks
00:02 We're in a can that's why
00:07 All right guys
00:17 Yeah similarities to a couple of weeks ago we were
00:24 We don't like losing
00:28 And but I can accept it when there's a performance like that. I can see the players are committed gave absolutely everything
00:34 we just
00:36 came up a little bit short in in key moments in both boxes, but
00:40 When the fans are clapping us off like that at the end of the game, you know, I'm extremely proud to represent this football club
00:46 And work with these players
00:49 Because they gave absolutely everything and we were in the game, you know, everyone could see that no one could disagree with it
00:54 we knew Chelsea gonna be able to create they've got top players they created at times, but
00:58 We were very resilient and actually I thought we were incredibly brave. I thought our back line was high. We were aggressive
01:05 We went man for man at times. We've tried to press them. We tried to take the ball which we did
01:09 I thought for a 15-minute spell in the second half
01:13 We had the territory weren't necessarily creating those are chances. We had the territory the game started getting a little bit transitional
01:20 I was just hoping it was gonna be us. They got a goal could smell a goal coming but it was it was them
01:24 unfortunately, so
01:26 you know I
01:27 disappointment, of course
01:29 but I've seen improvement in the two weeks since Brighton 13 days and
01:34 I know we'll see improvement again in a week's time
01:44 He's a top player I mean he was amazing on the on wherever it was against West Ham
01:49 I was there I was at the game and yeah, he's very very good tonight again, which we expected
01:54 So, yeah, that's just we're easy top top Premier League player and top international footballer and this is the level that we're at now
02:04 So it's no surprise. We're gonna be facing
02:06 That sort of thing every week
02:10 You were in the second half of the first half, you were in the hole for the second half, were you better at using the space?
02:15 Yeah, we had the territory
02:17 So we're in the game half-time. All right, we're 1-0 down, but we're in the game and I thought second half
02:23 we started very very well and
02:25 Moments moments to cross just like that little bit of quality that bit of finesse didn't pick someone out
02:32 Ryan Giles obviously had a good opportunity that was just half blocked and
02:35 probably our cleanest one
02:39 and then the game was going a little bit more end-to-end getting a bit stretched and
02:42 Clearly then they become very dangerous as well
02:46 But because we're in the game you can't change too much and you've got to hope then that we can
02:51 See any dangerous moments out. We you know that second goal
02:54 Probably deflate us a little bit
02:57 We're gonna make sure we learn now is that third one doesn't come because even at 2-0 then you're still in the game
03:06 Yeah, it could have done it was a it was a you know, it's a big moment for us not gonna get many chances here
03:11 it's done for bridge, but
03:13 that was a really well worked opportunity and
03:15 Yeah, you know they really they defended it well because they got the block
03:20 Pleased really pleased Berkey again, we've got a you know, gonna make sure we're managing him is his load because it's his first his first
03:33 Competitive game for a long time and Ross really pleased him
03:37 As I said the couple of weeks since he's been in he's made a real impact in training
03:41 He's been a great influence on the group and I thought his performance was was good tonight
03:46 And I know there's a lot more to come from him as well. So that's a big plus for us
03:49 Yeah, very special some you know
03:56 They're so proud of their their team their club
04:00 Been through a really difficult
04:02 Long period of time as we all know and the journey is great. So they're gonna enjoy this moment
04:07 I want them to enjoy the moment. They'll enjoy it when we get points more
04:11 But when they're clapping us like that and they can see how hard we've worked and the effort that we've given and how much we
04:16 competed, you know
04:18 then
04:19 that's
04:21 Is all they can ask as well. I can never guarantee we're gonna win
04:24 I'm guarantee we're gonna give everything the lads left it all out there
04:27 And I'm sure they'll be proud of us
04:29 I'm sure they'll be proud of us
04:31 I'm sure they'll be proud of us
04:33 I'm sure they'll be proud of us
04:35 I'm sure they'll be proud of us
04:37 I'm sure they'll be proud of us
