00:00I'll start off with Keith.
00:02Hi David.
00:02Hi Keith.
00:03That was a strong, mature performance from your team tonight.
00:06It felt like you almost got stronger as the game went on.
00:10Look, I thought it was a tough game.
00:12I thought Newcastle had moments in the game,
00:14but I think the Premier League is a bit like this at the moment.
00:17I think the games are quite close.
00:19You could be defending for 20 minutes and then you might have been better at another 20 minutes.
00:24I think the games are very tight.
00:27Obviously, we've got goals at good times.
00:30But certainly the third goal sort of killed the game off at that time
00:33when Newcastle were probably better at the start of the second half.
00:37But look, really pleased to get through.
00:40I think when you talk about cup games, you can talk about how you play,
00:44what you would like, what you want to do better.
00:46But ultimately, the only thing that really matters is getting the result
00:49if you want to get through and we want you to get through.
00:52Did it almost give the players extra motivation seeing the draw last night?
00:57Obviously, with no disrespect to Fleetwood,
00:58but there's a real opportunity now to go deep into this competition.
01:01Well, I didn't phrase it in that way and I didn't say to the players about that at all.
01:06I think that we had to focus on...
01:08I mean, this was a big Premier League game, really.
01:12Trying to win a Premier League game against any team is not easy.
01:16What we've got next, you know, we'll just have to take it on our side.
01:20It'll be anybody who beats Arsenal or takes Arsenal to a draw are doing a good job.
01:27So, it's quite local for us as well.
01:31So, in some ways, it'll be a big night and I'm sure it'll be a big sell-out.
01:35Thanks.
01:37Chris?
01:39David Hayden, you really repaid your faith tonight.
01:42What do you think about his performance overall?
01:44I thought there was bits of his game very good.
01:47His goal, getting a goal was great.
01:48There was other bits I didn't think was where it was.
01:51But I see this as a bit of bringing in Championship players,
01:54getting them used to the Premier League.
01:56A couple of times you get caught in the ball.
01:58But I really enjoyed the bits of...
02:01He gave us a bit of an attacking play again into the box.
02:04And obviously, getting the goal was really good.
02:06But a really good assist from Tiano Barry as well, to be fair.
02:10OK, thank you.
02:11Paul?
02:13I'm just going to ask you about Jack and the decision to leave him out.
02:17What prompted that and what details can you give about the...
02:21Well, you probably know I'm not going to give any details.
02:24And it's a club decision.
02:25So I support the decision.
02:28But it's a club decision, Joycey.
02:31Do you feel let down, though, by him?
02:33Look, it's something which I don't really want to speak too much about.
02:37I think the club...
02:39I feel as if the club are the people you should go to,
02:41if you're looking for something, some more on it.
02:45But you support their decision.
02:47The decision, I do, yeah.
02:48Ian?
02:55Hi, David.
02:56Hi there.
02:57It's not been an easy start to the season for all sorts of reasons,
02:59off the field as much as on it.
03:01What does a result like this and potentially...
03:04Well, a cup run, whatever happens in Fleetwood,
03:06you're on a cup run now.
03:07What sort of boost does that give to the club
03:09and around the club and the fan base?
03:10I think the minute you use the word quarterfinals,
03:12then you start to think,
03:13hey, this is getting quite nice, sounds quite good.
03:16So I have to say that we're pleased
03:18that we've been able to get to that stage of the competition.
03:23If we can keep it going, great.
03:25Obviously, I said it tonight in my programme notes,
03:28you start now to play the big boys.
03:32Obviously, Fleetwood beat one of the biggest,
03:34if not the biggest team.
03:35So we have to respect them when it comes to that game.
03:39But overall, I think the job to try and beat Newcastle tonight
03:42was a big task and we've done well.
03:46Rich?
03:48Yeah, hi, David.
03:49Just on Jack, I mean, is he going to be back...
03:51Rich, we're not going to go into any more questions on that.
03:54The manager's made it clear.
03:55He's said everything he wants to say on that.
03:58OK.
03:59I was just going to ask if he's back in for Monday or not.
04:02But if there's no answer, then...
04:04I wouldn't give any team news away.
04:07OK, fair enough.
04:08Any further questions on tonight's game
04:10before we move on to the embargoes action?
04:12Don?
04:14It's not about Jack.
04:16It's about how the players dealt with...
04:21It could have been a distraction,
04:22there could have been a thing,
04:23but it could have been even an excuse.
04:27But...
04:29The team played very professionally
04:31and everybody got behind it.
04:34Everybody was committed to it.
04:35It's had a lot for the players' character
04:36that they were focused on.
04:38Absolutely.
04:39I think the one thing about Everton
04:40and what they've got is they've got really good...
04:44Good...
04:45It's what I'm looking for.
04:47Real good values behind it.
04:49All the players stand up to the values
04:51except the values that Everton put out there.
04:54What we want from them.
04:55On the pitch and off the pitch.
04:57And from that point of view,
04:59I think the players done a brilliant job tonight.
05:00They really did.
05:01But they have been doing...
05:03It's a smallish squad we've got.
05:08And we're limited in some times
05:11and we're limited in some areas,
05:12but we're doing our best to try and keep challenging.
05:15That's what I mean.
05:17It has been a hard start to the season
05:19in terms of what you've transferred with.
05:22The ownership...
05:24The being that it talks in the road
05:25and you're still keeping yourself going.
05:31No, no.
05:32And look, the positivity we can build
05:34with the supporters.
05:35You can see what it meant for them
05:36for us to get to the quarterfinal of the Cup.
05:38It's a big moment for them.
05:40I don't know when we last were in that situation.
05:44But obviously,
05:46the players need to keep at it.
05:48We've said we're not accepting any excuses from nothing.
05:53Whether it was the stuff you mentioned,
05:54ownership or transfer window,
05:57I don't want the players to look for any excuses at all.
06:01And I think they're doing a great job, Dom.
06:03I really do.
06:03I think they've had a tough...
06:05Tonight's a tough game.
06:06And look,
06:07there's a humility about us tonight
06:09because obviously we've got to play Newcastle again on Monday.
06:14And we have to go again.
06:15So we know that'll be a really tough game.
06:18David, could I just ask you about Dewsbury Halls
06:21performance tonight?
06:22Yeah.
06:23Rightly man the match.
06:25Yeah, there's signs that he's really getting back to where he is.
06:29I mean,
06:30I actually thought the third goal was a great goal
06:31from the pass from Jimmy,
06:33the run from Kiernan.
06:34And obviously,
06:35Tierno's composed finish was very good as well.
06:39So it was a good third goal for us.
06:42But Kiernan overall,
06:43he's been up and down a little bit,
06:46but in the main,
06:46he's always above 50%.
06:51Always doing well for us
06:52and always a threat.
06:54His goals last year were hugely important to us.
06:57So we hope that he can continue
06:58to add a few more goals as well.
07:00Cheers, Anthony.
07:01We'll move on to the Umbudsman.
07:02We'll move on to the Umbudsman.
07:02We'll move on to the Umbudsman.
