00:00Bristol City's Carabao Cup progression came to an end at the hands of Premier League side Fulham at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening.
00:092-0 was the final score and Fulham had scored both goals within the first 25 minutes.
00:13The first was an own goal from George Tanner before then Raul Jimenez made it 2-0.
00:20Bristol City never really got going in the game.
00:22They did fashion some chances during the encounter and had their moments.
00:27But overall Fulham looked mostly comfortable for the majority of the fixture.
00:32And so for Bristol City their unbeaten start to the season overall comes to an end.
00:38But of course they still remain unbeaten in the championship at the moment.
00:42Although they are being slightly frustrated by the amount of draws that they've been having at the start of the season after their first game win away at Sheffield United.
00:50So let's hear now from the head coach at Bristol City Gerhard Stuber who spoke after the loss at Craven Cottage.
00:58Certainly disappointment for him but given the fact that Bristol City after the start they had to the season and what they achieved last season in the championship under Liam Manning.
01:07Their priority probably lies in the championship and hoping to progress in that.
01:12So let's hear what he had to say after this defeat.
01:15Yeah I think we could realise and we feel it today the big difference between the Premier League and the championship.
01:26This was crystal clear and we need a little bit of time that we step in the game.
01:32We had a little bit maybe too much respect in the first half and I would say conceded very cheap goals.
01:39I think this was a little bit of a hit in the face how they score today.
01:45And in the end the boys tried until the last second to change something.
01:50We were also a little bit unlucky.
01:51Shoot on the post in the end also the one or other good chance where we could score.
01:57In the end I would say yeah it was a game where we can take of course a little bit that the respect should be not on the highest level.
02:10We know this is a Premier League team and they have a lot of power but on the same time we should believe a little bit more on ourselves.
02:18How difficult was that start not only the two relatively early goals but losing Stokesy to injury as well?
02:23Yes, of course. But sometimes we have to be flexible or elastic enough that we can change a moment like that.
02:32This was of course a bad moment and also for himself a very disappointed situation.
02:42So we expect of course today much more game time for him but now he's out with injury.
02:47We will see what's going on.
02:48Yeah, so it was difficult that we get so quick the goals against us and then yeah but the boys I think especially in the second half we did a good job and create some chances for ourselves.
03:05You mentioned it there, much happier with the second half and particularly even in added time you really wanted to get that goal that perhaps you deserved?
03:11I would say yes. I think we had I would say more better chances like them and we create more possession and had in the end yeah of course a little bit more from the game but in the end we have to score.
03:26We have good moments and we should realize the one and our goal.
03:31Do you feel like you can learn a lot though from playing against a really excellent team like Fulham?
03:35Yes, I think they played in an outstanding way sometimes with the one touch moments up back through and have always a very quick decision making.
03:45So of course we can see the big quality from them yeah on the same time I think of course with this show us the game in the second half when we are on the same page in some pressing moments.
03:57And also when we have trust enough in our possession also we can create problems for them.
04:03And how good were those supporters in the second half when you were shooting towards them they really were trying to suck that ball into the net?
04:08Yes, this was great to hear them and also how they celebrate with us and give the boys a very good feeling today.
04:17So many supporters from Bristol here was very good to see and yeah I would like that we have a little bit better result today.
04:26How much are you looking forward to though being back at Ashton Gate on tactic?
04:30Yeah, I think it's a very important game on Saturday.
04:32I think we have to do everything right now to reach in and on the highest level and yeah I'm excited to have the next game so quick for our chest.
