00:00Your team's had the first show of mental hurdles to overcome this season.
00:03Is it going to be the toughest one yet to bounce back from this?
00:06Of course it is.
00:07Yeah, it'll show the character of us, but I've got no doubt that they will.
00:11I've got no doubt at all with them.
00:13You know, we've found it difficult, we've had a difficult start.
00:17But as I've said over the last month in particular, maybe results haven't gone for us.
00:21But performances have got better.
00:23You know, I can see signs.
00:25For half an hour there today, I thought we were really, really excellent again.
00:30Again, we've had a terrible injury.
00:32And then, you know, we've got the 2-0 and I thought we were comfortable in the game.
00:36I really did.
00:37I was really comfortable to get a horrible deflection out of nothing.
00:41I was cutting it straight into Bailey's arms.
00:43And all of a sudden they're back in it and the referee decides to give,
00:47which is blatantly an obvious mistake from him.
00:51Was it part of the game plan to sit further back to defend your box or did you get pushed back?
00:54No, we got pushed back.
00:56Look, we're a bit anxious.
00:58We're a bit nervous and a bit anxious and you never want to sit back.
01:01But, you know, it's normal when you're 2-0 up with, what, 15 minutes to go.
01:06You know, the season hasn't gone well for us.
01:08As I said, I thought we were comfortable.
01:10In fact, I thought if anybody was going to score, it might be us on the break, but not to be.
01:15Yeah, it felt for a period that pressure had lifted that and surrounded the game, but then obviously it comes back down twice as hard.
01:21Yeah, absolutely.
01:22It's difficult to take and I've been in it a long, long time and it's cruel at the moment on everybody.
01:28However, we have to keep showing that resolve and that attitude to make it better.
01:33That whole time there were some boos. I don't know if fans were shouting at you when he was walking around.
01:37Well, no, they were fine. I think the boos were aimed at the referee.
01:41You know, I mean, it was an awful decision given against us in the last kick of the game or two, three minutes, whatever it was.
01:48A bloody awful decision which has gone against us.
01:52Obviously, you would have loved to win tonight. You need to win tonight. How important is that going to be?
01:56Well, of course, every game now when we're at the start of the season, which we've had, as I've said, the last four or five games in particular,
02:04you know, we've done better. We can see we're a bit more solid in what we're looking like and we're a little bit more getting back that identity which we want.
02:15So, let's keep bashing away.
02:18Obviously, you said the other day, you're still looking at promotion, that's still your team.
02:21But when does that mindset sort of shift? When do you think...?
02:24I want shift. I want shift. I want shift. That's for sure.
02:28Are we capable of winning three or four on the spin? Absolutely.
02:33Walked in the door a year ago and won four on the spin. Can we do it again? There's the big question.
