00:00 Yeah, probably. It can go either way, really. That's my experience at these types of moments.
00:06 I'll prepare for the best version of Portsmouth. I think they'll be really, really good.
00:13 I think everyone at that club, really good side and an appetite possession, really good players individually.
00:21 They went strong again, recruitment-wise, in January. So, the people behind the scenes have to take a lot of credit for that as well.
00:28 They've done a brilliant job. So, I'll prepare for the very best that they have this weekend.
00:34 I really enjoyed our first game. I really enjoyed it. I tried to go toe-to-toe with them.
00:40 We went down to 10 after 50-55 and still tried to go toe-to-toe at that point.
00:47 I really enjoyed that first half against them. They're seasoned and they've achieved what they want to achieve.
00:53 I'm not quite sure how the game is going to be, but I'll definitely be pressing our players to be ready for the very best that Portsmouth can be.
