00:00The big two chances coming either side of halftime with Lyle Foster, he's got at least one of them really.

00:04Yes, one of them has probably got to go in and Lyle will probably understand that as well.

00:08Look, he's in great areas and he's been absolutely superb.

00:11I'm not going to... Lyle will be more disappointed than any of us really.

00:16So, we didn't execute or he didn't execute in them moments and the game then turns out like it did, a nil-nil.

00:22With Lyle, is he a bit low on confidence? Does he need one to score off his knee or something?

00:25He's not scored for a while.

00:26Yes, he hasn't scored for a while. He's been incredible really.

00:30He's come off the back of a long-ish injury and he's been, even today, his general game was brilliant.

00:38He gives us our options, he's sharp, he's technically nice and he's been superb.

00:42Today, he's just not managed to put a couple of chances or fell his way into the goal really.

00:48So, like I said, he'll be disappointed but that's life sometimes, mate.

00:52That's the world we live in as professional athletes. Sometimes you have them moments and Lyle obviously had that today.
