00:00
Darrington, 2-0 draw today, how do you reflect on the game?
00:03
Started really well, good goal finish from Ryan and then you're hoping to push on.
00:09
Poor defending for both goals, you expect better in those situations and we didn't deal with it in the right manner.
00:17
Got badly punished for it and then we get ourselves back into the game.
00:21
Half time it's just a case of making sure we don't make the same mistakes.
00:26
A few tactical tweaks and then you're playing with the wind in the second half.
00:30
It was tough enough playing against the wind in the first half but we didn't really come out.
00:35
For whatever reason we looked a bit disjointed, didn't play overly well, didn't create an awful lot.
00:41
It's probably the end of the game, draw with the first half.
00:43
Totalling up the average age of the squad today was 21.
00:47
You have a lot of young players being thrown in the deep end don't you here in terms of this relegation fight?
00:51
We do, you take Moaner, Injun and Ryan out of it.
00:55
There's a massive amount of experience in that back line but it's up to us to step up.
01:02
In fairness I thought after we conceded those two goals that the lads drew into the game and limited them to very little.
01:10
People can look at it as a situation that we haven't taken advantage of but we're still in the hunt.
01:19
Nothing really changes for me.
01:21
A lot of it is probably going to come down to that game against Newington but we can't look to that.
01:25
We have Armagh to deal with next week so just focus on that.
01:29
It's two games into the split, 1-1 last one.
01:32
We haven't been beaten in it so we have to take the positives.
01:35
Just on that game against Armagh next week, the message doesn't change at all does it?
01:39
No it doesn't.
01:40
We want to win every game.
01:42
We didn't do enough today probably to win the game but we need to do better.
01:47
Next week we have a few bodies back.
01:48
We have three lads at Manchester and then four aces.
01:51
That's four big players that will be back for next week.
01:54
It's probably the first time we have a full squad since they came back in.
01:58
Plenty of bodies to choose from.
02:00
Again, no excuses.
02:02
We knew what we had to do in this split.
02:05
Still well within it so we'll just see how things go.
02:08
On a personal note, your 400th game for New York City today.
02:12
A big honour.
02:13
It was alright.
02:14
It's hard to believe.
02:15
It was the 400th game.
02:16
You think back to the first game back in Intermediate B.
02:20
It seems like a lifetime ago.
02:22
It's been an honour for me to manage this club for one game to remain 400.
02:27
It's nice for the club to recognise it today.
02:30
I'll enjoy a drink tonight and celebrate.
