00:00Does this 2-2 feel better than Huddersfield 2-2?
00:04Of course it does. We played very well against Huddersfield and today was a difficult game against difficult opponents.
00:13Huddersfield are a good team, so are Charlton. As good a team as I think, take away Birmingham off the equation.
00:20I said when we went down to Charlton, these are going to be there and thereabouts and I expect them to be.
00:25They're a good side with a talented manager as I said.
00:28So the draws at home are frustrating, but are you hoping you can look back at the end of the season and see these results against Huddersfield and Charlton as good points against a team?
00:36Look, as I said, if we had drawn away from home and won at home, we would have been in a different mindset.
00:43You always want to give your supporters something to shout about, but I think they can understand what we're trying to do.
00:50I'm sure they've gone away and really enjoyed the game and enjoyed the attitude of the players and the way they've gone about it.
00:56That's what we're going to try and put in place and maybe a little bit gung-ho at times, but I've enjoyed the game today.
01:03It was a really smashing game. The last 10 minutes was absolutely just like something you'd see on a field on a Sunday morning.
01:11They were absolutely dead on their feet, both sets. So all credit to both sets of players.
01:16Was today a positive sign of what the team can do with footer suits that suit your style of play?
01:22Well, that's what you're adding to the squad for. That's what you're hoping to try and achieve.
01:27Otherwise, there's no point. And of course, the club's had a huge overhaul.
01:31We're totally different to what we were probably this time last year. Totally different in outlook and how we play.
01:38And I understand that takes time and hopefully you get the time to implement what you want to do.
01:44And as I said, fair play to the people above me. They've worked really tirelessly to bring in the 2-3, which got us a result today.
01:54Can we look at Sammy and Niall and think the two players come from a championship. It's not worked out recently for them.
01:59They might have a bit of a lack of confidence. They didn't show that today, did they?
02:02Well, it's my job to blow a bit into them and remind them what good players they are.
02:07They've obviously had a tough time or they wouldn't be here, but they're capable.
02:13And they just want to get up and playing football again and enjoying themselves.
02:17And certainly that won't do them any harm.
