It's a challenge. You almost have to play the perfect game. We could have dealt with
00:06
the first goal with two players on the chat and the byline. A bit more communication,
00:12
a bit more aggression, the cross doesn't come in. We get inside Ireland at that post and
00:17
then it was a score. Then we should have dealt with the ball out wide in the second goal.
00:21
But when they've had so much of the ball, you probably forget any of the 99.5% and you
00:27
forget everything else in the third goal. That's down to Wes as well.
00:32
But then the difficulty is we know we're going to have spells like that. You could see the
00:37
difference when we brought Ole on and we got over the ball at the top end of the pitch
00:41
and the ball actually just come. But we're not in a position yet where we'd have finished
00:46
that. It's a dream when the equaliser wins it. Thinking it could be a precious point.
00:52
Of course. Because we had, besides the first goal, stood strong against everything we were
00:59
throwing at us. Good positions, managed the game well. Retained quite a fair degree of
01:08
control in the game even though we lost a lot of the ball in our half. We made the mistake
01:14
on the far side but then the kick in the teeth if you like. When the ball comes in it's actually
01:19
it's actually full of only miscontrols and it drops straight along his path so sometimes
01:22
he looks like a d*ck.
