00:00Look, I thought the players were in everything, everything in the game, you know, to get that third goal.
00:05It would have made it really interesting in the tie, but it's only, you know, a two-goal deficit.
00:11You know, you get an early goal and you just never know.
00:13So, you know, we've got to go down there in a positive frame of mind.
00:16We've got to go down there believing and we've got to go down there and give it our best shot, which we'll try and do.
00:19You know, we want to give ourselves the best possible opportunity.
00:23We don't believe the tie's over.
00:25I believe in the squad and, yeah, we'll just wait and see.
00:30But hopefully.
00:30You've spoken about the fighting spirit, yeah, in recent weeks.
00:33And the fighting spirit just to get to this point has been immense for the team.
00:36So that will be vital again this weekend.
00:38Yeah, look, I think, you know, if there's one team that can turn around a two-goal deficit, it's this Elgin City team.
00:44I think, you know, we've got a lot of qualities on this side.
00:47You know, we're maybe didn't quite show at moments in the game, but I thought second half we were much more like ourselves.
00:52I just, you know, there's certain things that we want to improve in the performance, which we'll make the players aware of in the next few days.
00:58But, yeah, when you were up against a good team, you know, we're really frustrated with the goals that we've given away.
01:04But we're much more solid and much more, I thought, assertive of our shape in the second half, which is a positive.
01:13And hopefully we can take that second half performance on Saturday.
