00:00Do you feel like the error today kind of affected the whole play a little bit, did you feel that?

00:04It always does, but what's the difference between that pass from Freddie and the miss at the other end?

00:09There's none, but when you're a goalkeeper you tend to get that profile and it does, then the frustration comes in

00:16and that's why I was pleased with the players because we didn't let it affect us, we kept going.

00:21Because the only thing that happens then is you're playing to the opposition's hands.

00:25It becomes really difficult, like Bristol City at home for example, it becomes really difficult when a team want to sit in and just counter.

00:32So yeah, pleased that we kept being brave, taking the ball, knocking on the door, knocking on the door.

00:37We got there, they really killed the space for us second half.

00:46That's when I thought, if we were a better team at set plays we could have been a lot more effective from things like that

00:52because they can't stop the ball in the box, we should be far better for the size and the aerial ability with the players we've got.

01:01Players might be sick of me banging on about it and moaning about the delivery's not good enough,

01:06moaning that the timing's not right, moaning that someone's not got the positioning right,

01:10but they can win you games when they're tight like that.
