00:00Colton, a win but maybe something that should have been a bigger win do you think?

00:16I thought we played well enough to maybe extend the lead by another goal or two but obviously

00:21they played well and capitalised on their opportunities and we knew this team was going

00:25to be a tough aggregate to play against so it's a 120 minute game, we get the better

00:29of them tonight, we just have to make sure that we're ready to play next Wednesday and

00:33finish the job.

00:34I suppose any advantage that you can take into Cardiff when you're sort of halfway through

00:37the tie effectively is a good thing isn't it?

00:40Yeah definitely, I mean obviously the pressure's definitely got to be on them, they've got

00:43to press a little bit more and make up the gap and the difference and I think as long

00:47as we stick to our identity and our game plan and we go in and execute then we'll take care

00:52of business.

00:53Kind of echoes of the first period in Sunday's league game as well where you started really

00:57well and put your sort of marker on the game early on, particularly that first period with

01:01a 2-0 lead again.

01:02Yeah definitely, I mean I think throughout the season we've been struggling a little

01:05bit with the first periods, maybe arguably been a little sleepy, probably our worst period

01:09honestly over the course of the year so we've tried to focus on that the last couple of

01:14weeks just playing with a lead and sticking to our identity for 60 minutes, making the

01:19third a little easier on ourselves, we're not playing catch up so I thought we did a

01:22good job jumping on them early and I thought it was a dominating first period.

01:27Yeah, definitely.
