00:00 Yes, I think that's the type of performance that it's going to take to get us out of the position we're in.
00:06 Good, hard-fought battling, everyone working for each other, sticking together, as I've asked for.
00:14 When you do that and you have a wee bit of quality with the goals, then you win games.
00:20 Yes, we've been the team that started poorly both halves in recent weeks.
00:25 This week, we've started in the front foot in the first half. In the second half, we got the goal, which is pleasing to see.
00:32 So, we just have to remain focused and make sure that we're switched on at all times.
00:36 Yes, listen, Tom's had two unbelievable saves.
00:42 He won the first half and won the second half and he saved for a free kick as well.
00:46 So, he's kept us in the game as well.
00:50 But credit to the boys that got in the end the goals.
00:53 Good finish, I think it was by Rory and then Connell gets on the end or something.
00:57 I've always said that we can't be naive and when we get to the 2-0, we're still attacking, but we have to attack slightly differently.
01:05 We have to be a wee bit more conservative, but we have to make sure the back door's locked, not give them opportunities.
01:12 And I don't think that they really had many, apart from the saves that Tom Roberts made.
01:19 He's a different type of player that we didn't have and I think he ran himself into the ground today.
01:25 But his play, his hold up play, getting touches and allowing guys to get up to support and running behind, is something that we'll look forward to.
01:34 It's terrific to take seven points from nine at home, but we must start picking up points away from home.
01:40 We have to make sure we give a battling performance like that next Saturday.
