00:00Right Chris, how do we work that one out after last week and one of the worst performances of the season, do you agree with that?
00:07100%. It was a bit like the start that we had last week, but obviously we weren't able to rescue it today.
00:14No complaints, we were second best all over the pitch and it's just not good enough.
00:18I've just asked the lads in the changing rooms there to speak really.
00:22There's no point in me saying what I'm saying every week and working on what we work on in training and then seeing something completely different on the pitch.
00:28I've just asked for a lot of feedback off them and some interesting things came up.
00:32We'll look to take this one on the chin, stick together and try and finish the season strong.
00:38Obviously, we've got a semi-final to go at to try and get into the League Cup and we've got to try and rescue the play-off place as well.
00:43We can't just feel sorry for ourselves now the season's not finished.
00:47It could have come at a worse time, Chris, could it? How many games left?
00:51After your 4-0 last week, did you think you were going to come back from 3-0 this time?
00:56No, it was completely different circumstances this week.
00:59Obviously, it was individual errors again that led to the goals but we didn't get started at all in the game.
01:04Last week, you could see us getting back into it when we got hold of the ball and started to build attacks.
01:08I don't think we really had a shot in anger towards the end.
01:12We can look at officials or we can look at the pitch that we're playing on here today but it's just all excuses.
01:17Everyone's got to come here and face the same thing so we don't want to make any excuses.
01:22We deserve to lose and that's what happened.
01:24How do you work from this week now for the next game, which is Anroostaway?
01:31Very similar. We expect a very similar game next week.
01:34Like I said, we just had a big feedback session in there about things that I'm seeing but mostly what the players are feeling at the moment.
01:42I've got to take a lot of things that were said in there on board.
01:45Like I said, we've got to finish the season strong. There's no point moping now.
01:48We'll feel this over the next couple of days but we're in a semi-final.
01:51We're still in second place in the league and we've got to finish the season strong.
01:54There's no time to feel sorry for ourselves and that won't be the plan.
01:57It's going to be a long week but thanks for coming out at the end of the game.
02:00Diolch yn fawr.
