00:00Was the selection fairly straight forward with your lack of options?
00:04Was Huggie and McGovern the only debate in your mind?
00:07Yeah, we're looking at that, but obviously their size.
00:10Jadon's productivity at the top end, I felt we'd have a lot of the ball like today.
00:16The reason I brought Jadon off last week and put Juzy on was
00:20Juzy's centre-back is more comfortable going on the outside
00:23and getting crosses and delivering, attacking the back post.
00:26Jadon is more comfortable in his 1v1 defensive duties.
00:30That was the call there.
00:33The rest, Ledo's only trained and we knew we had half an hour in him maximum.
00:38Hopefully he'll be better for that now and a few more days training.
00:42I was hoping Sam would be fit again with the week he's had.
00:47There wasn't any intention to start him.
00:50Do you feel that creativity has just been sucked out of the team?
00:53Brady was maybe the only one today at times.
00:55You've lost Holmes, you've lost Frockyard, Greenwood,
00:57even our Coulton-Bowler were signed in the summer.
01:00Yeah, that's been something I've seen.
01:02Like I said, you look at how do you create chances.
01:04Today we created them, so if you're about 1v1 players,
01:08they're not on the pitch, so how do you create?
01:10So be good against the ball.
01:12Set plays need to be good and make sure we have the ball in the box at the right time
01:16and the bodies and we did it.
01:18Do you know what I mean?
01:19So you've always got to find a way to create.
01:20You've always got to do that.
01:22I know when I'm watching the chances back and watching the game back,
01:25I'll be pulling my hair out with some of the ones we missed.
01:29Yeah, that's all you can say about this game.
01:34We missed far too many opportunities.
01:39I bet we missed more clear-cut chances than Plymouth had attempts on our goal.
01:45That's how frustrating it is.
01:47But that's back to my first point.
01:49That's why games are won and lost in both boxes.
01:52If you manage to do it next weekend, which doesn't work an easy task at all,
01:56has it got to be a massive wake-up for the club this?
02:00Yeah, a scale like this 100% is.
02:04100%.
02:05But all I'm focused on is next week, the preparation and then the performance.
02:10That's it.
02:11That's it.
02:12That's what we mentioned today.
02:14The performance, the missing bits, like I said, both boxes.
02:17We should have been having a totally different conversation
02:19but I've said that too many times, haven't I?
02:20And that's been the one...
02:22In my mind, when you're looking at the group and where we need to improve,
02:25that's been the one consistent flaw in our performances.
02:29When we've had the performance, when we've had the chances,
02:32we've not picked up enough three points and that's been the tale of it.
02:37And then when we've not been at our best,
02:39we've not been able to get over the line like Plymouth have today.
02:42Have you been in situations like this before in your career or not?
02:45What's key? Just raise a focus on what we can do?
02:49What on us? Yes, that's all we are.
02:51Prepare for Bristol, we know what they are.
02:53Obviously, they've got a big game for them.
02:55Monday night Leeds, which are determining obviously,
03:00can go to determine where they are.
03:02But again, we have to prepare for them at their best,
03:04them fighting for their three points to make sure they're in the playoffs.
03:07We're fighting for the three points to make sure we stay in this league.
03:10What do you make of a feel in the stadium today?
03:12By contrast, Plymouth noted down, the fans are singing at the end.
03:14It just felt stale.
03:16Yeah, but there's a nervousness and anxiousness.
03:18It comes with this, do you know what I mean?
03:20And to be fair, I spoke about the players before,
03:23we were prepared for that.
03:25All that there is and that comes with, like I said to you,
03:28that's something you have to be aware of and prepared for
03:31because you can't get wrapped up in it.
03:33We had to keep being patient, keep playing,
03:35keep trying to create the chances.
03:37I'm not looking forward to watching it back,
03:40so I know I'll be even more frustrated than I am right now speaking to you about it.
