00:00What does it mean being captain to you Ben, because it's not an easy question to ask, but it comes under questions from people.
00:06It means a lot mate, there's no denying that. I've just mentioned it out there to a few people, it means a lot.
00:13When you are having these bad results, it sort of adds to that.
00:18I've got a miss at home that I've not been myself over the past month or so, so it's been tough mate.
00:24There's no denying that, but we've got to get home with it.
00:29Does outside noise, as much as you want to avoid it, do you see it?
00:32Yeah, you do see it, 100%, there's no denying that. Social media is a toxic place in it.
00:38You do see it, but you've got to get home with it, and it is what it is.
00:40The lads that are going to believe in how much we are missing, who they are, but are you going to miss something?
00:44Yeah, I've just said it in there, it's an emotional one, because we've not really been able to say goodbye to them in the right way.
00:53It's because we've not been good enough over the past month or so. We're having to call on a lot of people that aren't going to be here next year, and that's lone lads included.
01:02Credit to them, outstanding professionalism today. I thought we should have won the game, but we didn't.
01:08But yeah, we counted on a lot of them today, so I can't thank them enough.
01:11Paul just said he hopes Robbie Brady is going to stay around. Would you love that? Because he looks class in his inside role.
01:17Yeah, it's not just about his performances though, I think, what he brings to the team, what he brings to the lads in general.
01:24Listen, he's a full-time international football player. I think if you're getting them in the Championship, it's a massive help.
01:31Yeah, great character Rob, and he's got one of the best left footers I've ever seen. So, yeah, fantastic and what a guy he is as well.
01:38Last one, for the critics, he was once the one getting a lot of stick, and now he looks like he does. Is there a message there that just stick with players?
01:46I think it's that, mate. I think, listen, no one goes out on top of a bad game, and that's with everyone.
01:52Like, that's just not certain individuals, that's with everyone. A few players are going to get it heightened and rightly so,
01:58but yeah, you've got to take it on the shin, but you've got to take it with a pinch of salt as well.
02:01We are where we are. And I think, listen, fans are emotional, and they've got a right to an opinion,
02:08but you've got to remember that, yeah, we are people as well, do you know what I mean? And people do see it,
02:13whether that's family members or whoever, they do see it. So, yeah, just get behind us,
02:19because it's been a tough one.
