00:09Yeah, there's definitely that commitment there. It had to be there today. I said it to you the other day.
00:19I didn't doubt that. I could feel that the last couple of days has been as good around the group
00:24and the feeling and the way the boys have gone about it as we've had for quite some time really.
00:30I was looking forward to the game today to see that. There was definitely an edge with the game. There
00:34was an intensity with the game. I spoke to the boys this morning a little bit about what the game
00:39is, the history and what it means to the supporters, to the football club, to us coming over here into
00:48the territory to kind of what it takes to win here and get a result.
00:53It definitely tests you if you come here and you're not quite there. It tests what you're going to bring
00:57and I thought the boys, it wasn't a perfect performance, it wasn't an almost unbelievable performance, but there was definitely
01:04a lot in there that you can show how together the group were and how determined they were to get
01:08something today.
01:22I mean, you talk about that. There was a freshness to the group. Obviously, we got other options as well.
01:34Some are with us, some are not quite with us yet for injuries.
01:38But you look at the midfield for Carlisle and Andre, that's a pretty fresh spine in the team through that
01:45middle of the pitch and both young players adapting to life at this football club.
01:51I thought both of them were terrific today. I thought they both did really well in midweek, so that's a
01:56massive positive for us.
01:58Yeah, a little tweak to tactically a little bit. I mean, we've asked Ahmad over time to defend a little
02:04bit more off the right, depending on who we're playing against, what that looks like.
02:10Sometimes it's been Matthias playing off the left, who then could play inside a little bit, you know, so it's
02:14not a huge change.
02:16I think a lot of it was similar, but we had to adapt a little bit to what their strengths
02:21are,
02:21because they do ask a lot of questions of certain down the sides and in behind, so I thought we
02:25pretty much dealt with that well.
02:28Simon and then Dan.
02:30Brandon, that's two weeks in a row that he's scored. You're asking him to do a tough job with Benjamin
02:36being out as well.
02:38Can you just talk about his performances and what he's bringing to the team?
02:43Brian gives so much to the team, he sacrifices so much, you know, he's willing to do pretty much anything
02:49that needs to be done to benefit the team,
02:52whether that's defending in certain areas, whether that's attacking, whether he'll give everything he's got.
03:00Slightly adapted role today, but in possession, when we had possession, it was pretty much as he has,
03:05but a little bit different defensively, but he just wants to do well for the team,
03:11scoring goals and maybe he could have had another one, you know.
03:14And same in the week, he's getting them really good positions to be really dangerous for us,
03:19and it's great to have him.
03:22Michael, you've spoken a little bit about what you learned from the Trials during this kind of round of results.
03:28What do you think you had for him?
03:32That didn't surprise me today, to be honest.
03:34We're not getting too carried away because we haven't won the game,
03:37but I think if you keep doing the right things and for the right reasons,
03:41then you get what you deserve in the end, you know.
03:47It felt like a bit of a fresh start, if I'm honest, today in where we're at and accepting it
03:54and doing something about it.
03:56It definitely shows that the boys are desperate to do well for each other as much as anything else.
04:01And how much they appreciate playing for this football club,
04:04because there was a real purpose to the group over the last couple of days,
04:09and they took it on the pitch.
04:11And that's a tough game today.
04:12I have to say that's a tough game, the way they play.
04:15It can find you out pretty quickly, and the boys stood up to it really well.
04:19Can I just ask you about Uri Tillman's as well?
04:21He could have maybe had a few assists, if you've got a few assists today.
04:25What's he been right now?
04:26Have you ever seen the club as you've become a better leader?
04:29Really impressed with Uri, exactly what we thought and hoped for,
04:34bringing him into the group.
04:35I think his experience, his presence, his personality.
04:39Talking about Brian's sacrifice for the team, Uri's definitely one of those which he'll do.
04:43Anything you ask him for the benefit of the team.
04:46He's got a huge amount of experience, and he was right there today again.
04:51At the front of it, leading the team, we've got some really good, experienced players,
04:56and he's definitely added to that.
04:58Katherine and then Mark.
05:01Go on, Katherine first.
05:01Hi, Michael. We've heard that Bruno Colandos is not 100 per cent,
05:05and it became 19 minutes again today.
05:08Have you thought in mind why you decided to do something?
05:11No, he's all right now, it's not a big deal.
05:12And is there something wrong with him?
05:17He was absolutely fine today, don't worry.
05:19And playing out of position to him three times this week now,
05:23where do you see things at?
05:25It's obviously the reigning of playing the Premier League.
05:29Yeah, today he pretty much played where he has been playing for the most part,
05:33through the middle of the pitch, so there wasn't really too much change.
05:37He played slightly different once in midweek, but apart from that,
05:41it's pretty much as usual.
05:45He's an important part of our team, Bruno, he has done, he has been for some time,
05:49and that's not changing.
05:52I know you've got a final decision, but that's your job.
05:57We're starting this Premier League since 1986,
05:59what do people feel like that?
06:00You've got a half of the table in March for a second game, it's not good, isn't it?
06:04Nah, listen, we're not accepting it as everything's great by any stretch,
06:09so I'm realistic with that.
06:13Sometimes you do struggle, sometimes there's a bit of where you have to find a way through it.
06:20We haven't really had to go through that yet, and we've got to find a way through it.
06:23There has been a cycle of times here over a period of time
06:26when it can go in different directions,
06:30and we've got to be stable enough to keep doing the right things,
06:33like I said, for the right reasons as a group.
06:36We're more than Cape Willow winning football matches,
06:38and it depends what you focus on.
06:40I understand that the situation doesn't look too good if you look at it from a certain way,
06:45but I've got no doubt that we can go on a good run.
07:03I'm not sat here comparing it at any point, to be honest,
07:06I just know what we've got in the changing room where we want to get to,
07:10how we want to get there.
07:13As I said, we know we can do it, we've done it for some time,
07:18and we feel we're a better group now.
07:20I do feel that sometimes it doesn't always show,
07:25but you get a feeling and I'm encouraged by a lot of things.
07:29If we keep doing the right things, I think we can still have a really good season.
07:33Thanks, everyone.
07:34Alright, cheers, guys.
07:35So that's why I brought the big mixed людs,
07:35so I applaud, for sure.
07:35For sure, guys, let me stop taking a look.
07:35And finish your hands off.
07:35Bigby.
07:36Let's say you get a littleнее,
07:36if you're one or three or three or four or three over,
07:36or this way,
07:36And finish your hands off.
07:36Keep your hands off.
07:36And you made a Tanner.
