00:03Difficult one for lots of reasons.
00:12It's clear we've picked a team, we've played a shape that we've not played or been here.
00:16The minute we're putting out fires with the teams we're picking,
00:22thinking of Charlton ahead.
00:26That's probably the most rotation we could have got,
00:28but we still wanted to be competitive in the game.
00:32We were OK, I thought they started really brightly
00:35and probably the physicality and pace of their play surprised ours.
00:40Because when we did win the ball back,
00:41I felt we gave it way too cheaply too often in the first 10-15 minutes.
00:45Then we settled, felt we grew into the game, poor goal from our point of view.
00:50Then the biggest frustration was we've just got the lads lined up to come on
00:54and we concede the second goal.
00:57Then it's difficult because we're not really bringing attacking players on,
01:00we're bringing midfielders on, playing one or two out position again.
01:05In a game when you're chasing, that's not great, so they're the frustrations.
01:10In terms of the goal conceded, how frustrated are you about how they came about?
01:18Yeah, Miklenko gets in behind T for the first.
01:22I can't remember the order of them now.
01:24I think it might be the second one.
01:29Yeah, Lee makes a save, doesn't it?
01:31Ricochets back down and Barry knocks it in.
01:33But we've got plenty of bodies back.
01:35You know, we've got 3v3 while we leave a runner, he gets in.
01:38So that's sloppy.
01:39I know it's fortunate how it goes in from them, it's just really sloppy from us.
01:42The third one's a break, which should be dealt with.
01:47And then the fourth one's really poor, we get out-fought in the middle of the park,
01:51and Johnson gets in a run on the outside.
01:53So, listen, the mitigating circumstances that we're playing against a higher calibre of player,
02:00but there's one or two things in those moments which don't help you keep clean sheets.
02:05Yeah, and the rotation tonight was pretty much what you wanted in terms of the personnel, wasn't it?
02:10You know, getting more pressure?
02:12It's not what I wanted, no.
02:13I want more players in, so we don't have to do it.
02:15Well, like I said, we're putting out fires at the minute.
02:20Yeah, we're miles away from where we need to be, we know that.
02:26Frustrated, we've lost Ali, we'll see how he is.
02:29But yeah, we, yeah, frustrated.
02:34And it seems like it might be an issue that he's had the pull of his hamstring.
02:39If it is for the length of time that it was the last time,
02:41does that give more of a focus towards midfield in the last week?
02:45Well, we needed a midfielder, and he wanted one anyway, so...
02:49Anybody want anything more before we move on to Charlton?
02:53OK, Geoff, if you're recording this, this is just to be saved for the weekend, please.
