anywhere created easy effort goals good possession stop teams until
Effort was good, possession was very good ... we created a lot of chances. (But) we're never going to go anywhere until we stop all the easy goals that go in. We just make it too easy for teams at times.
applaud bad bottom change effort leaves line negative taste
It still leaves a bad taste in your mouth. You want to applaud the effort and change and everything else, but the bottom line is it's still a negative result.
anywhere easy effort stop teams until
The effort was there, but we aren't going anywhere until we stop all the easy goals. We just make it too easy for the other teams at times.
bottom coming effort except fighting final line negative played positive pressure result spirit tonight
The effort was better tonight, but the bottom line was still a negative result. We played a 3-4-3 tonight to keep the pressure coming down the front, everything was positive except the final result and everyone is down about the final result. We had more of a fighting spirit tonight and played more physically.
again finding five fourth games lose played playing time ways win won year
We're not playing poorly. Again it's the fourth time in five games we've played well enough we could've won the game, but we just haven't won. We just have to find ways to win games, what's been going on most of the year is we're finding ways to lose games.
game playoffs point
We just have to play every game at this point on and just get a result, ... The playoffs are something you don't realistically want to think about at this point, you just want to do something to get a win.
backs five good last road season start win
We want to get that road win thing off our backs before the end of the season, but we also want to win the last five games. Then, in their minds, we start the season 5-0, and that's a good thing.
best felt loves player
We felt that he was the best player in the draft. He loves to pass.
certainly crosses deal players
We certainly have to deal with their crosses and the players they get on the end of the crosses.
broke half moments played second
Even in the first half we had moments when we played well, but in the second half, we broke down, we broke down and broke down again. It's just unacceptable.
along good keeps learn plugging positive
The good thing about Mehdi is that he keeps working and tries. He keeps plugging along and he keeps playing. That's a positive for him. He'll make a mistake, but he'll learn from it and keep going.
answer game games hoping road straight time win
We need to get away from the road. I was hoping that this game would be the first time we would win on the road, but it's now 13 straight road games without a win. The answer has got to be out there somewhere, I just don't know what it is.
nice today
Today would've been a nice place for us to start.
addition looking player somewhere teams three trying whatever
With the addition of these three players, we're a better team. And that's the excitement. And if we can find another player somewhere on in the season, we'll look at that too. You have to keep looking. Other teams are still looking for players. Teams are still trying to do whatever they have to do to get better.
