00:00Was it quite a brave team you went with, you know, Potts on midfield, Greenwood, two strikers, I guess your options were limited?
00:06Probably Ledo's unlucky, you know, I could have easily gone Hughesy, but then with Jadon missing I knew Hughesy would be covered at centre-back and wing-back and he'd be playing at some point.
00:15Ledo, me looking back at you now, so Sam and Potts, we wanted to, pointless coming with what we had and trying to defend, but they forced us to defend and we didn't do it well enough.
00:26You can see Potts getting in for that penalty appeal, that's what we wanted from him, Kane attacking.
00:30It was Sheffield United really well, they just let Gus Emire cheat and stay out and he'd broken us three times, so we had to quickly change, that was a problem, we had to change.
00:38Yeah, put that shape, I was on about our back five didn't deal with their four, our midfield three didn't get the coverage right.
00:47Maybe Ledo, if I'd have given him the information, would have sorted that out on the pitch for us because he's a midfielder as such, where Sam and Potts, we were having them in for a different type of threat.
00:58Any complaints with the goal defensively?
01:01I think it's just the one moment again, defensively second half we were good, generally it was in front of the back five or them playing in front of us where we struggled first half, but in terms of defending our box we did it well.
01:13Defensively that was the one moment we didn't, we didn't get out quick enough to stop the cross and then Liam was always wrong side, Freddie had to come because he'd obviously got a three-header.
01:23But like I said, it's just how it happens sometimes, they were really dangerous first half, we keep them out, second half they had a lot less and scored the goal.
01:31Does it reinforce if you can boost your attack in the summer and get a bit more flair and speed, you're giving them the platform to win and that could take you over the final half?
01:38Yeah, I think one thing I've been pleased with is how consistent we've been, how competitive we are.
01:45But I go back, I said this about Sheffield United, early on in the season, first half, we were performing really well in terms of consistency, what we're getting out of games, but we were drawing them all and Sheffield United were winning them all.
01:59Top on the pitch, good players and they've reinforced that, so yeah, that's just how it is, that's why they're at the top.
02:06There was a report yesterday that Dwayne Holmes is on his way or in talks with Houston Dynamo, can you comment on that, is that happening?
02:11Yeah, potentially. I've known Dwayne a while now, I spoke with him a long time ago about this.
02:18He said that if it was something that him and his family wanted to do, he wouldn't stand in his way, however he's still keen to stay and things have unfolded and yeah, he may be going.
02:37Nothing's definite, but yeah, there's truth in them reports.
