00:00How are you doing?

00:08Good to see you.

00:16How are you doing?

00:24OK, Joe.

00:26Was that a difficult first hour, but was it really hard for you?

00:30In the first half I didn't think we played well.

00:32I thought the substitutes made a big difference to us.

00:35We stayed in the game, we didn't get out of the game.

00:40There was a wee period in the first half I thought we could have been in trouble.

00:44We just didn't open the game very well at all,

00:47but I thought the second half way we were much, much better.

00:51Which didn't be a reason for the problems in the first half?

00:54Probably Chelsea.

00:56Chelsea were fast, intense, quick.

00:58Got really good players as we all know.

01:01That was probably the biggest reason, more them than to do with us.

01:05Was it making Paterson and Jake O'Brien in their roles given Tarkovsky's injury?

01:11OK.

01:12And you see Barth and Orders throughout that game coaching quite hard.

01:17Were they doing what you wanted them to do,

01:20and it was just that Chelsea were too good for that first out role?

01:23I think it was them getting them ready immediately for it.

01:27You know, it's moving big Jake over.

01:30We know Jake's been done brilliant for us,

01:32and Pato's only coming in, only had a couple of games.

01:34So it's never easy against the opposition and the quality of the players.

01:38But they stuck at it.

01:41They stuck at it, and we certainly grew into the game the longer it went on.

01:45And, you know, if we'd got a goal,

01:47I think the goalkeeper made a couple of really good saves for them,

01:49which stopped it.

01:51Maybe, maybe we should have actually finished them off,

01:53to be better if I was being honest.

01:55So, yeah, there were certainly positives to take that we came away here

02:00and kept the game close.

02:03We didn't play at our best.

02:05Early part of the season, these sort of games,

02:08we were getting a goal, we were getting them.

02:10I'm saying early part of the season, the early time when I've come in,

02:13we were getting the goals.

02:15At the moment, we're struggling just to find those goals,

02:17and we just need moments.

02:19Dukes had won, Dwight had won, I can think of,

02:22and there was a couple of other moments for half-sharing

02:25which we didn't quite take.

02:27Thanks, Joe. Any further questions?

02:29Did you feel that the goal they scored,

02:32your defence wasn't quite set because Jordan made the goal kick straight after Beto,

02:36that you maybe would have been the forward ideally defensively?

02:40Yeah, I think if you look at modern football at the moment,

02:43you could probably talk about 100 or 200 different goals,

02:47every week you're seeing mistakes by goalkeepers,

02:49or you've seen it by centre-halves or full-backs.

02:51If you want to call it over-playing or poor play,

02:54I think the centre-halves had split.

02:57Jordan chose to go directly into the striker,

02:59which was a pretty good pass to be honest,

03:01I don't think there was much up with it.

03:03He has to retain the ball, simple as that.

03:07He has to retain the ball.

03:09And because of that, it probably cost us a goal,

03:12and we were open at that moment when you do that.

03:14But you're seeing that, you've always seen that type of football.

03:18And we're trying to improve, we're trying to get better at retaining possession,

03:22we're trying to get better at passing it.

03:24And that moment just didn't quite work.

03:27Other than that, and it wasn't a mistake by Jordan,

03:30but the saves he made today throughout the match,

03:32they're a three or four of absolutely top draw.

03:35I mean, you've seen him over the last few months,

03:37you've seen him over the last number of years.

03:39Do you think that perhaps he doesn't get the respect generally that he deserves as a goalkeeper?

03:45Well, he should do because I think he's reached the levels of the top goalkeepers

03:51who in England have been respected more than anybody.

03:54I might be wrong in talking about Banks and Shilton and all the ones who you would talk about.

03:58So he's right up there as far as caps go.

04:01He's a terrific goalkeeper and he helps us as well.

04:07He helps us with his passing, he helps us with his kicking.

04:10You can decide today if it was a help or a hindrance what he'd done today.

04:14But overall, I'm really pleased with Jordan.

04:19He makes big saves at moments and he made a few big saves today.

04:22So did, by the way, so did their goalkeeper.

04:24So did their goalkeeper, yes.

04:26Any further questions? No?

04:30Cheers, thank you.

04:35See you later.
