00:00Chris, it's the playoffs, some of your emotions right now?
00:03Yeah, do you know what? I've just thought about that in terms of speaking to the players.
00:07I want us to get into 90 points, the 90 points total.
00:10For two teams, congratulations to Daniel and Scott and their two teams.
00:15For those two teams to hit 100 points, who have the ability to get 100 points,
00:19just shows you what the division's like.
00:20And we've finished up the third best team in the division.
00:23The game, the season went to the 44th game of the season.
00:27I thought we were having a right go tonight.
00:31We've created some good chances.
00:33The goals have killed us. We've conceded two poor goals.
00:36We have to do better on the clearance and obviously the penalty hands the initiative back into them.
00:40But we always looked like we could score.
00:42Just needed to make better decisions in and around the box and show a little bit more quality.
00:48But this team got put together. I was just talking to them there.
00:52Team got put together in the summer.
00:55Everybody knows what happened last year.
01:00I remember going to Huddersfield a week before the start of the season.
01:05And basically it was an under-21 team with a few players added in.
01:08So we've had to learn on the job.
01:11The season didn't end here.
01:13As I said, it ended when we didn't put the current form, Oxford, to bed.
01:18You can lose a game in the Championship and you can't go and get beat at Plymouth,
01:21even though Coventry had got beat and Middlesbrough should have drawn last week.
01:25But those were the games that really have cost us.
01:29We would have still have had to get, as you know, we would have still have had to get, what, 90, 95, 96, 97 points to go up.
01:36It's an insane season.
01:38And our younger players will learn from it.
01:40There's players playing at the top end of the Championship that will learn from it for the first time.
01:44The Arisons and Coopers and Femmes and City Peake, Jazzies and all those.
01:52We've fallen a little bit short.
01:54We've been the third best team in the division.
01:56We've been the third best team in the division.
