00:00I don't know, a flat performance would be harsh. I thought it was a typical Cup title,
00:06I thought Coventry were really good. It put some real energy to the game and we couldn't
00:11really get a grip on it. So we had to hang in there, we had to work really, really hard
00:16just to stay in the game. Obviously, going a goal behind makes it even more challenging
00:23but like you said, I think at the end there we showed some real spirit and character,
00:29which is probably what's been missing the first four games, we've had the performance
00:33but we haven't had that relentlessness to get a result. You sense that in the last ten
00:42minutes, we've got real belief out of that and hopefully that's a good sign moving forward.
