00:00Show your reflections on that game, please. It looked a bit of a battle at times in the conditions.
00:14Yeah, tough conditions, certainly worse when you're on the pitch side. Both teams tried to operate in different ways, obviously.
00:21Then we had possession, us without possession, but finding a way to get another clean sheet and a good point,
00:27and a deserved point, I think, on the day. I think it was a fair result, actually.
00:30Managers share different views, I'm not sure they'd feel that, but I thought it was a fair result.
00:35I thought both teams had good half chances, a couple of good quality chances,
00:39and both teams are going at it, and there are different ways to try and win.
00:42Draws against Arsenal and Chelsea must start to build up a little bit of confidence.
00:46Well, I think that's five out of six clean sheets, seven in ten or something like that.
00:49We knew we had to correct that early season. The challenge now is to find that balance.
00:54I've spoken about it endlessly. We were playing some tough teams.
00:57These are a good outfit, you don't spend a billion pounds and get weaker.
01:00I think they've got a good manager who's impressed so far this season,
01:03finding his way in the Premier League and how to operate with the players he's got, and he's doing a good job of it.
01:08We know some of the prowess of some of these teams, and I think for us to keep another clean sheet,
01:12and a very valid one, I thought, was pleasing.
01:15Everybody okay for City?
01:18Yeah, I mean, I'll find out what Young, I think he's suspended anyway, but he ricked his neck.
01:23Then he did a brilliant header on the far stick, and we had to take him off for both reasons,
01:26to make sure he was okay physically and also on the yellow card.
01:30I thought the subs were terrific, it's not an easy game to come into,
01:33I thought all three did really well today.
01:35John, a tricky December didn't start too well, but you must be proud and pleased at how the players have bounced back?
01:42I've never lacked pride in what we do, that's for sure.
01:45I'm pleased with the mentality, I think a lot of noise outside of what they do,
01:49and it can affect people I don't think it has this time.
01:52I think we've stayed resolute to the cause.
01:54A group of players giving everything again today, tactically,
01:57to make sure we looked after ourselves, so I'm pleased with that.
01:59Any disappointment that it could have been all three points to Kunoi?
02:03Yeah, but they could have as well.
02:04They had a couple of chances, more so second half, one bounce off the post,
02:08one flashes across the goal, I think John made a savable save,
02:11but one that he'd be pleased with.
02:13Not too much though, I must say, and we had a really good moment with Jack,
02:18and then at the end a great tackle from their defender when Illy gets a parry from the keeper
02:23and he pounces on it, but their defender makes a great challenge.
02:26Nice to send the Friedkin guys with at least a point and not see them defeat here in the first game?
02:31Yeah, it wasn't my only goal, trust me to do that.
02:34It's a nice add-on, I've had a good meeting with them, they seem like really good people,
02:40very serious people, but in a nice relaxed manner, sharing thoughts and that's gone well.
02:45But of course I said to you the other day, I'm not naïve, you've got to win games.
02:49People keep talking about my own position, win games, and they've made it clear,
02:53they're supportive of my role and what I've done here and what they hope I do.
02:56I've got to win games, I'm not naïve enough to think any other.
03:07Cool, that was a quick one.
03:09Thanks everyone, take care.
