00:00I'm immensely proud, tough place to come, we knew that coming into the game, a team that are right in form, the stadium was bouncing as well and was pretty alive for large parts of the game.
00:15A goal down early on, albeit a clear offside goal which was a little bit disappointing, reacted superbly well, got ourselves back in the game, well worked goal and showed our quality in the first half, it was a very good first half.
00:28Come out at half time, chased maybe some say a bit of a lost cause and probably epitomises what this team is about and then the back end of the game, we were only sitting here last week with a 1-0 swing in this game.
00:44There's always, these games always turn out to be like that and at that point any coach sitting here saying it's tactical or there's technical elements, that's just about you need to roll sleeves up and you need to go to places and dig and for large parts this year, for the majority of this year, this team and these players have got that really and that's what makes me very proud of them.
01:10Yeah, you're at that point now, we need to try and win as many games as we can and I thought the overall game today had a bit of everything. When we had to show our quality in times, we showed our quality with some nice bits. When you're in the Championship with game after game, you have to show a resilience, a desire, a passion, a commitment.
01:31I mean, we showed that immensely today, hence why we come out of here with three points. I mean, we all make mistakes, I made many today, the team at times, we all make mistakes certainly, but I mean that was, yeah, it's not even a fine margin that one, it was absolutely stonewall offside.
01:48I thought the reason the ref went over to the assistant was to obviously maybe communicate and say like, yeah, have you seen something else because this is how I've seen it, but maybe that wasn't the case and they decided to give the goal. Our reaction after it was superb really, that was a jab on the nose for us and not only did they score, but obviously the frustration of obviously being a clear offside could have really derailed us.
02:11It didn't and we bounced back really well and I don't know what it was on the clock, but it was probably their first real attack. We started the game very, very well, their first real attack and obviously the goal's gone in and I think, like I said, psychologically it could have been a real blow because we could have felt really hard done by it, but we rebooted and got ourselves back in the game.
