00:00A 2-0 loss at home to Reading for Bristol Rovers on Saturday afternoon has all but confirmed
00:07their relegation to League Two and Igor Calderon reacted to the news.
00:11Yeah, one more day. I think it's been far too many, like today. A bit difficult to explain
00:21because I think we did a lot of things good, especially in the first half, I would say
00:25the first hour of the game. It was what we wanted under control and creating more chances
00:31than them. But it's true in the second half. I think we stopped or we started going down
00:37a little bit the level and then I think you could see where they are and why we are where
00:47we are because we have a couple of chances. We couldn't score them and they didn't need
00:51too many and they scored them. And obviously after the goal, I don't want to say game over,
00:56but we knew that the first goal was key today. And as I say, if I ask the boys today before
01:05the game to try to show their passion, even in difficult circumstances, it was not easy.
01:11And Bristol City head coach Liam Manning has made clear that his side are not going to join
01:17in Leeds promotion celebrations, but instead take all three points from Elland Road.
01:22Yeah, it's at that stage of the season, right? I think anytime you go there, it's a terrific
01:29atmosphere. So it is what it is. Enjoy it, but do us. I think that's the biggest bit,
01:34not be in awe of it. Yeah, we try and draw on every experience, I think. It's a hugely strong side
01:39if you look at what they've invested in it. They're a top team of top players, extremely well
01:43set up. So, you know, a huge congratulations to them and Burnley. And rightly so, I think they're
01:47probably two of the best I think we've played this season. So for me, you know, like I said,
01:52a congratulations to them in terms of anyone that achieves it over such a marathon in such
01:56a difficult division, you know, deserves it ultimately. So it's one of those where we're
02:00not going up there to, you know, to play a part in any, you know, promotion celebrations,
02:05we're going up there to win. I think that's the biggest bit and you can't turn it on and off.
02:08I think that's the biggest bit. We'll go and do us. We'll go and, like I say, play our way
02:12and, you know, take the game to them.
