00:00How long's he out for, do you know, Matt?

00:03A couple of weeks, hopefully.

00:04You went with the midfield, similar set-up to Watford and Norwich, was he hoping for that?

00:08Yeah, we went back, so yeah, obviously...

00:15So we've made changes every now and then, whether it's one, whether it's two,

00:19cup games, so we change based on trying to protect players,

00:24but also always a tactical element, trying to win that game.

00:27This one, we'd had one or two play well.

00:29I've said Liam Lindsay performed really well when he's come in,

00:32but he was fighting to get back in ahead of Hughesy, Lewis, Ryan,

00:38like I said, who played really well in that last away game.

00:40So, yeah, those were decisions we wanted more of the same.

00:43We felt we were bringing in that energy again, you know,

00:45Ledo and Jade and things like that, and going back to that real high-intense,

00:52physically good, and then all the quality comes out.

00:54When we're at it physically and everything's right,

00:56we pass the ball so much better, so much better.

00:59Now, like I said, it's just on my eye, and when I watch it back,

01:03I'm convinced I won't change my mind.

01:05It just looked a game too far for us today.

01:07Did the second goal just kill you? You could have got in at half-time.

01:10It was another poor goal, innit?

01:11So, the lessons you take from this, like we're 2-0 down,

01:15but then we get the next goal and you're always in it,

01:17and then it can become really nervy for Coventry.

01:20So, I'm saying how far off our best we were today.

01:25Those two goals are really, really poor from our point of view.

01:28So, yeah, you can still win games and not be at your best.

01:32We've shown that and picked up points,

01:34but I'd love that to become a habit, but today, yeah, we were.

01:38I can't grumble about the result.
