00:00Massive character there at the end. Tough place to come, Vickers Road.

00:04And yeah, it was a good away performance, good, solid away performance.

00:08Obviously, conceded the goal in the first half. Sloppy from us, not tracking runners.

00:12And got the goal early in the second half and kind of seen the game out from there.

00:17Dare I say that it was kind of the contest that you personally are going to enjoy

00:21because there was a lot of last-ditch type of defending needed today.

00:26Yeah, always games like that.

00:27So, you know, it's been part and parcel of my career over the last 10 years.

00:33But I enjoyed it. I enjoyed that part of the game.

00:35And I think everyone did today. You could see it.

00:37Everyone was digging in for each other,

00:39which is what we needed after the results we've had and come away with three points.

00:43Just put some kind of perspective on how physically draining it's been.

00:47Because, look, I appreciate all teams play a lot over Christmas,

00:50but given the fact that not many changes are available right now.

00:54Yeah, I can't remember the games being that close together every three days.

00:59Usually, there's a break at the start of January.

01:01But with this game being on the 4th as well,

01:03it just, you know, it's kind of crazy this year.

01:05And obviously the injuries you've had over the last month or so has killed us a little bit.

01:10And, you know, it takes that extra 10% out of you.

01:13But I think today showed that we can dig in.

01:15We can get those three points.

01:17And that's the main thing at the end of the day, to stay in touch.

01:20As a leader within this group,

01:21what does it mean to you when you see younger players essentially running the blood to water for this team?

01:27It's good. It's good. It makes my job easier as well.

01:29They do all the running for me.

01:30So that's part and parcel again of it.

01:33It's trying to put my experience into the team.

01:36And, you know, the young lads are thriving at the minute and fair play to them.

01:41They deserve all the credit they get.
