00:00 Ben, I imagine that was a tough one to take because up to the point at which they scored their first,
00:06 it looked like there wasn't a great deal in it.
00:08 No, there wasn't. It felt like a bit of a 0-0 game, to be honest.
00:12 At 0-0, I thought if anyone's going to nick it, it may be us.
00:16 We were the five-power that we've had the last few games.
00:20 Goals come from us on the attack and I think a really poor goal to concede, to be honest.
00:25 Then we're chasing and get the second and we created a couple of bits at 1-0,
00:30 but it's just lack of quality, really. It's killed us a bit.
00:33 Yes, disappointing.
00:35 Especially after the last few games, the team's found its rhythm a bit,
00:39 started getting a few goals, but it just seemed today like that final ball,
00:42 that final bit of quality was what hurt you in a game that you could have taken something from.
00:47 Yes, definitely. I was pretty confident coming into the game, to be honest.
00:56 Especially off the back of the last few performances, I was thinking a good chance to get a win,
01:02 but they made it difficult. We cancelled each other out a bit, to be fair.
01:06 Then, yes, at least we got a come away with a point.
01:10 I think we had our eyes on winning to make it interesting down at the bottom.
01:15 But, yes, disappointing, like I said.
01:18 And a positive approach as well from the team.
01:20 I mean, nobody can accuse the club of not going for it in the end.
01:24 In the position you are, there's no point not going for it, is there?
01:27 Yes, of course. Yes, that was it. We went to four at the back.
01:29 Obviously, we lost Jadon, unfortunately, so we had to change a little bit.
01:34 But we're going for it. We've left it 2-2 at the back for their second goal,
01:38 because we've got the lads up top waiting for the counter-attack.
01:42 It was a good bit of play by them and it put it to bed, really.
01:45 Clearly, it's going to be incredibly tough to stay up now this season,
01:49 but is there hope that with the form that you've shown recently,
01:52 with some improved performances, that you can finish the season with a couple of wins now?
01:56 That's the plan, yes. It was the plan today, definitely,
01:58 to make it interesting with the home fixtures we've got coming up.
02:01 Yes, we've got to try and come away with a point today.
02:06 Unfortunately, we haven't.
02:08 But the fans are still with us, they're amazing today.
02:12 We've been classy in the last few games and we've just got to do it for them
02:16 and do it for ourselves, really, in the next few games.
