ahead desperate flat fully match period start
They were more desperate than us off the start and we didn't match it. It was that first period where we were very flat and they were good. They got out ahead of us and we didn't fully get back into it.
bearing change coming game knew later match matter raise
We knew they would raise their game and we didn't match it after they started coming at us. It's a matter that later we've got to be better. I don't know if it's bearing down more or we've got to be more disciplined, but we're going to need to change and we have to do it in a hurry.
