anyone available bad bit compete fears fortune four league missing players slightly starting team
We were going well but have been slightly derailed by players not being available to the team. We've had a bit of bad fortune that we're probably missing four starting players from midfield. When my players are all available we can compete with anyone in the league - but the team will keep improving, I've no fears about that.
available bit body certainly credit determination evident four gary help himself hospital likely next night quickly returned shown squad stage suffered sure surprised three
I have to say I am a bit surprised at how quickly Gary has returned but that is all credit to him. He has shown a determination from day one to get himself back, that was evident when I went to see him in hospital the night he suffered his injury. I've already said that everyone in the squad will likely participate at some stage over the next three or four weeks, I'm pretty sure of that, so to have another body available certainly does help us.

We've talked about it and if that's the case for Gary then that's the case for Derek. But that's the era we are in. If he leaves for nothing that's fine, I would hopefully go and find a wee gem from somewhere who is hungry enough to come and score goals and make a name for themselves.
crucial goal match mistake perfect poised poke rather score seem toe
When the match is poised at 1-1, you know one mistake could be crucial and there is an understandable nervousness. We seem to want to score the perfect goal when I'd much rather see us get scruffy ones - a toe poke or a ricochet.
cruel felt game goal harsh killer looked penalty tie unfair winning
It is a cruel game and it is very harsh on the players. To come in 3-1 down at half-time felt unfair and the penalty was a killer for us. It looked very soft. At 2-1 down, we were just one goal away from winning the tie and in with a real chance.
