00:00Are these next two home games going to be the difference between you having something to play for into last month and not?
00:05Possibly. I mean, you're never going to give it up. Look, we've seen teams win 4, 5, 6 and we're capable. We're capable of doing it.
00:14You know, as I said, we've lost 1 in 13 or 14, something like that, but we've had too many draws.
00:19And I think that's the frustrating of everybody. So if we can win tomorrow and set us up very, very nicely.
00:26How disappointing would it be if you can't get on that?
00:29Well, we've got to stay there. You've got to stay with it. There's still a lot. I think we've still got 11 home games left, which is still a huge amount.
00:38So all to play for still.
00:40Is it important not to finish the season thinking what could have been if we'd have done this instead?
00:44You're always going to analyse seasons. And before I got the job here last year, you were always in and around the 8th, 9th, 10th and never really got any further.
00:54So there becomes the frustrations too. So, look, it's football. It's what happens. The tickly bit is about to start.
01:02Once you get into February, late February, March, huge amount of games in March. So it'll start unravelling in the next 5, 6 weeks.
01:11Of course you weren't here, but looking back to the back end of last season where a run did take place and a win on the final day would have got the club play-offs.
01:18Can you look back with confidence that a lot of this can really work?
01:21Yeah, well, they know what's expected. It was that last game that I needed to win and go and win at Reading, was it?
01:27And it didn't happen, did it? Unfortunately.
01:31Yeah, I mean, look, we know we're capable of putting some sort of run together.
01:37To do that, we've got to start winning at home. And there's the frustration, what we keep talking about.
01:41Let's hope it starts tomorrow.
