00:00It's definitely an emotional night. You can see how much it means to this club.
00:09I'm just grateful we could be a part of it.
00:13You could see everybody, but just a little bit extra tonight.
00:18I mean from the crowd right on to the pitch.
00:21I think it's rocked down for this club.
00:24Part of it's because of the leadership from the court as it is.
00:28It's all very disappointing to think about.
00:31I'm very glad we could be a part of it.
00:35The performance is something you can really build on now isn't it?
00:40Particularly defensively.
00:42For understrength side to defend your line the way you did was remarkable.
00:46Yeah definitely I think I am.
00:48For us it's absolutely disgusting at the moment.
00:51A game like that, once we review it we'll see probably more good things than we feel.
00:57When you are defending like that it feels like it's absorbing a lot of pressure.
01:02When you look back you'll be super proud of what we did there.
01:06Can you build on this now?
01:09Of course.
01:10There's still a long way to go.
01:11Of course. I think a wake off would be good.
01:13Get those boys back from their injury last week.
01:17Like I said, just build on this.
01:19How tough has it been?
01:21I imagine you've been through a change of coach.
01:25How do you approach it?
01:26Do you just get on with your job?
01:28Yeah it's a bit of a different one obviously because of the emotional escape.
01:32It's bigger than everything else that's going on.
01:37There's no feel sorry for yourself.
01:39When there's a moment like this where we get to celebrate Rob, that's the focus.
01:44So for us I guess that's what we're really focusing on.
01:49You've got the kids on the other side too.
01:52I'm assuming you've got the teenagers.
01:55Yeah.
01:56Just remarkable.
01:57Outstanding.
01:58Outstanding.
01:59Honestly those two boys did more than what they needed to do.
02:03It just shows that they are leading up to producing two great young kids.
02:07I'm very grateful that they got the opportunity and got to experience something like that.
02:13They work hard.
02:14It's good for the British game as well.
02:16It's obvious that there are these youngsters.
02:19Of course.
02:20You see the growing up academies across the league.
02:23Like the British and guys like that.
02:25So I'm really grateful for that.
