00:00Bristol Rovers dropped into the Ligue 1 relegation zone on Saturday afternoon as they were defeated 2-1 by Exeter City on what was a frustrating afternoon for the Gats at Memorial Stadium.
00:12Yeah, really frustrated, disappointed. It's difficult to explain because I think I have a great feeling during the week, even in the dressing room before the game.
00:26You think, okay, we've done everything and everything's in the right place.
00:31And after, obviously, the goals again, especially the first one that killed us a little bit because, obviously, we are not in the best moment of the season.
00:42You can see that. So we are a bit weak mentally because it's normal. And that killed us a lot.
00:50I mean, and after the second one as well, before the half-time where you want to adjust a few things and just go through details in the half-time.
00:58And after the second one, that was like the worst moment that can happen.
01:02And after, it's true that we chase and we create. But, I don't know, it's really tough today.
01:12Meanwhile, Bristol City were forced to settle for a draw in the championship on Saturday afternoon at Loftus Road against Queen's Park Rangers.
01:201-1 was the final score, although the Robins still occupy a place in the top six of the championship and have their sights still firmly set on qualifying for the playoffs come the end of the season.
01:31Yeah, probably. I think it definitely wasn't a classic, I think, in terms of hitting our level.
01:39I think, you know, it wasn't quite what we've been at recently, but can't knock the lad's effort in terms of, you know, obviously, third one in a real heavy, busy, you know, intense week.
01:49So, you know, it's going to be a tough game here in terms of conditions as well, etc.
01:53So, I think it's one of those, we know we didn't quite hit our level that we're capable of today, but I never turn my nose up at getting a point on the road in this division.
02:01And normally, we set the lads the challenge of, you know, this block of four, can we, you know, finish the week in a decent position where going into the final four, you know, we've got something to play for.
02:09So, you know, three unbeaten, strong week, you know, credit to the lads.
