general half kenny moved needed passing second sharp team worked
I thought they did well. The second half we were better, we moved it quicker. Kenny (Cooper) got his goal, they worked hard. I just didn't think our passing in general was for the whole team as sharp as it needed to be in the first 45 minutes.
carried club decision difficult eddie faith grown hard head mature national nearly player seen team time win
It's probably the most difficult decision I've had to make in the time I've been the head coach. I'd come to this club around about the same time Eddie was drafted. He's grown up here while I've been here, and, you know, I put a lot of faith in him two years ago and he carried our team nearly all the way to the playoffs. I've seen him mature and get better as a player and win national team honors, so, yes, that was a very hard to let Eddie go.
bit came deserved ended felt good last playing playoffs team year
They've started very, very well. They came off last year a little bit disappointed about the way things ended for them. I know they felt they should have got to the playoffs and probably deserved to. So, they have come out this year after it. They are a very good team and are playing well.
absolutely competition confidence couple delighted fantastic full great healthy minute missing player scoring spots team
He's a great player and now that he's scoring goals, he's full of confidence so I'm absolutely delighted for him. There is always healthy competition for spots in the team and we have a couple missing at the minute and he's having to do the workload and he's doing a great job. He was fantastic tonight.
came chances create deserved good half mostly players pressure second strong team
In the first half they had a pretty strong team out there, we had mostly young players and the reserves. They edged the first half and probably deserved to be up 1-0 at halftime. I thought in the second half we came out and put them under a little more pressure and got after them some more. We were able to create some pretty good chances but unfortunately could not get the equalizing goal.
aiming cup league return win
We are aiming to win the league and cup this season, and also return to Europe.
best decide decided decisions looking
We're still looking at all decisions this week. Obviously, we have Carlos (Ruiz) missing. We have got to decide what's the best way for us to go. So, we haven't decided on a lineup yet.
good last midfield played year
We've got good flexibility in our midfield and with our forwards. He's played there last year and this year, so you know, we'll see how it goes.
came ended game happen hitting last mark played pleased spots time towards year
Mark played very, very well. He came in and got his goal. I was very pleased for him. He was here last year and played towards the end of the year. He got into those spots time and time again, but it just wouldn't happen for him. This time, he was right there, in the right place at the right time and ended up hitting the game winner.
edge missed people
I think that was an edge that we've missed, and missed a lot more than people think.
great takes
I think it will be great. It has always been a great rivalry. But now, it's a whole new dimension. This takes it to a whole different level.
frankie red
I thought he made some questionable decisions. I didn't think Szetela's (foul) was a red card. Frankie's was. Frankie reacted to what happened. Szetela's was unlucky.
closing great hard mark midfield nice pleased spot wilson worked
I thought Mark Wilson did very well tonight. He worked very hard in midfield and it's nice to get the first one -- he didn't know much about it -- but he was in a great spot in there closing him down. I'm very, very pleased for him.
bobby forward front good great job open options played playoffs solid steve three
Just having a look at some different options. Steve played out there (at right back) in L.A. and did a good job and he did a good job tonight. I thought Bobby was great in front of him, he could have scored another two or three he got forward well. It's a more solid look, just to have a look at it going into the playoffs and just open our options up.
