00:00Colton, a win but maybe something that should have been a bigger win do you think?
00:16I thought we played well enough to maybe extend the lead by another goal or two but obviously
00:21they played well and capitalised on their opportunities and we knew this team was going
00:25to be a tough aggregate to play against so it's a 120 minute game, we get the better
00:29of them tonight, we just have to make sure that we're ready to play next Wednesday and
00:33finish the job.
00:34I suppose any advantage that you can take into Cardiff when you're sort of halfway through
00:37the tie effectively is a good thing isn't it?
00:40Yeah definitely, I mean obviously the pressure's definitely got to be on them, they've got
00:43to press a little bit more and make up the gap and the difference and I think as long
00:47as we stick to our identity and our game plan and we go in and execute then we'll take care
00:52of business.
00:53Kind of echoes of the first period in Sunday's league game as well where you started really
00:57well and put your sort of marker on the game early on, particularly that first period with
01:01a 2-0 lead again.
01:02Yeah definitely, I mean I think throughout the season we've been struggling a little
01:05bit with the first periods, maybe arguably been a little sleepy, probably our worst period
01:09honestly over the course of the year so we've tried to focus on that the last couple of
01:14weeks just playing with a lead and sticking to our identity for 60 minutes, making the
01:19third a little easier on ourselves, we're not playing catch up so I thought we did a
01:22good job jumping on them early and I thought it was a dominating first period.
01:27Yeah, definitely.
