00:00How frustrating is it for you when you're on the bounce away from home and you come home and there's a chance to win?

00:04Yeah, it's frustrating. However, we're not getting beat, we're just drawn.

00:10And then we took £10 out of £12, so I suppose you look at it that way and think, that's OK.

00:17But disappointed that we've played poorly in the two league games, really, Northampton and today.

00:24We haven't done enough in the final third away to prise open.

00:28Teams are going to come and be defensive against us and shape up and be difficult to beat.

00:33And we have to find a way, better than what we have done in the last couple of games.

00:37Does that have to be a key New Year's resolution heading into 2025 to get it right from the start?

00:42Well, we have to improve. If we had gotten the extra two points today, we would have been two points off the play-offs.

00:48So, that's still in our sight and, as I said, it's a frustration for everybody at the moment.

00:54But we haven't played well enough at home for the last couple of games in particular in the league.

00:59And we've seen for a couple of years with the fans just how hard a place it can be when it gets going.

01:03No, listen, the supporters here are terrific. They pay the hard-earned money and get behind their team.

01:09And it means so much to them. I'm just disappointed that we haven't given them enough to shout about just yet.

01:17Especially in the last couple of league games.
