00:00with them and the reality is that we were told it was going to be a career killer to come into
00:04this club a year ago and people have been quick to jump on us in the last two games when we've
00:10lost in the 97th minute and then we were atrocious on Saturday here which hasn't happened often.
00:16The reality is now that if they win on Saturday they'll be top of the league at Christmas and if
00:20you've asked anybody in this town that the team will be top of the league at Christmas a year
00:24from now they would all laugh at you. So that's a credit to every single one of those boys in there
00:29and they should be extremely proud of themselves. The strikers, Dylan in particular, were unplayable
00:33at times tonight but I don't think people, you know, we spoke about it, but I don't think people
00:38realise the effort that those boys in that dressing room are putting in just now. I don't
00:43think they realise how tired they are, how many injured players there are. You know, Lyle Booth
00:47tonight should have been on from the start, you know, asked to come off at half time,
00:53played 92 minutes, barely put a foot wrong, couldn't run for the last half an hour as you
00:58can see. Kyle Girvan has got ankle tendonitis, he's played 90 minutes the last three games,
01:04he's making 80 yard runs from centre back to try and get on the end of crosses. Dylan couldn't run
01:09at the end, Keane's playing 90 minutes, 90 minutes, 90 minutes, 90 minutes, 90 minutes.
01:15There's most of the players in the stand, that was just sheer determination to not lose and to win
01:22and they should be as proud of themselves as we are of them. It was absolutely tremendous.
