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.
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.
both danny fairly played
I would say Danny is getting more and more comfortable. I thought he played fairly well in both games.
both defensive happy jason mistake played shape worked
I thought we played well in both halves. Unfortunately we had one mistake in our defensive shape and they put in the rebound, but it worked out in the end. I can't tell you how happy I am for Jason (Kreis) to get that goal.
appreciate certainly games given good paul played
He's been a warrior. He's played some good games in a lot of pain, and I certainly appreciate everything Paul has given us to try and make us more competitive during this stretch.
definitely eliminate felt played road since throughout
I definitely felt that we competed throughout and I think we can do even better with that. We just have to eliminate mistakes. If you can do that, you're always in every game, especially on the road. I think that is as competitive as we've played on the road since I've been here.
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.
ball bit fighting physical played pressure spirit
The fighting spirit was better. Pressure on the ball was better, and we played a bit more physical tonight, which was good.
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.
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.
