00:00A stirring second half, but the first half lost it for Bo Marek this afternoon against Bala by two goals,
00:06two on.
00:06And your thoughts on the afternoon?
00:09I'm obviously frustrated with the result.
00:12In the first half, I thought we were within our shape a little bit too passive at times.
00:16But at the same time, I said to the lads at the game, you know, we've not really been beaten
00:19by Bala today.
00:20We've beaten ourselves because the first goal we conceded at the dark corner.
00:25And, you know, we don't make the first contact and then they manage to get all the way down to
00:29their own bodies, all ahead of ours and get the first goal.
00:32And then the second goal at the beginning of the second half, we've actually started brightly right at the beginning
00:37of the half.
00:37And, you know, we look like, OK, we can get something going here and then we concede it off a
00:41long throw.
00:42And, you know, that just can't happen.
00:44Teams are really struggling to break us down.
00:46And I've just spoke to the Bala manager at the end.
00:48He agrees. Teams are struggling to break us down.
00:50And we're really strong defensively, but we've got to stop conceding goals from set pieces or little counter-attacks like
00:56that at this level.
00:57When we lock teams in and they're defending, we're very strong.
01:01So we need to do that as well.
01:03But a lot of the goals last season as well coming from somebody else's corner.
01:07Yeah. I mean, the second half, obviously, like I said, we started the second half right here.
01:11I'm really, really happy with the second half.
01:13I thought the lads were excellent.
01:15You know, they were on top for a large part of it and, in my opinion, deserved a stone wall
01:20penalty at the end of shoulder referee.
01:22But he doesn't really want to have another look at it.
01:23So that's disappointing.
01:26But, yeah, I mean, we've just come up from tier three.
01:29I think it's really important that we don't lose sight of that at times.
01:31We're trying to establish ourselves in the league.
01:33We've gone toe-to-toe with, you know, a really strong side there.
01:37They're expected to do big things this season.
01:39Like I said, in the second half, there was nothing in it because they've easily took a point today.
01:42Yeah. Yeah. We're playing against a team that's come down and aiming for top five as well.
01:46That's the difference between the teams we've played as well, isn't it?
01:49Yeah. Well, I mean, Ballon will be expecting to win the league or go up in second.
01:53So, you know, they're a very strong team that's just come up, sorry, come down from tier one.
01:56We've just come up from tier three.
01:58And, you know, I know people want us to win every single week, but I think the bigger picture's needed
02:02at times.
02:03And we went toe-to-toe with them in that second half.
02:05First half, they didn't break us down.
02:07They'd done us on a counter-attack.
02:08Second half, we've gone toe-to-toe.
02:09They had chances on the counter-attack still, but, you know, I thought we were the better team in the
02:13second half.
02:14And so I'm lucky not to get a point.
02:16On that note, dios, Chris.
02:17Ciao till.
