belt defending experience four last next year
Last year at times our defending let us down, not only the back four but as a team. We've got another year of experience under our belt for some of them and that's good. They've just got to take the next step.
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.
again count depend desire financial knew last season spoken
From the end of last season I had spoken with Carlos of my desire, and that of the organization, of being able to count on his services. We knew that everything would depend on the negotiations and the financial deal. I have to again reiterate my satisfaction at having him for two more years.
becoming last nasty needs remained starter year
He's done very, very well. He started last year for the most part and has remained the starter this year. He needs to keep improving, getting better day in and day out and becoming a big, strong, hard, nasty defender.
contact ease ended injury last minutes playing trying week
He ended up playing 90 minutes last week when we didn't really want him to because we are trying to ease him back. It's an injury in a place that he is going to get a lot of contact so we have to take it slowly.
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.
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.
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.
boys good league strong
I thought the boys were magnificent, ... They come to compete, they come to play from the first whistle. . . . We're a good league, a strong league with a lot of good players.
absolutely delighted gold good list players strike time work
I think we'll strike gold with more than one of them. We got some very good players. We're very happy. We come in with a list of players that we had targeted, and we got them all. We're absolutely delighted with that. Now it's time for the work to begin.
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.
beat colorado confidence deserved game home thoroughly win winning
We really need to go out and beat Colorado on Saturday. They're still right at our heels, so it's important to get the win in that respect, but it also important to keep winning and keep the confidence high, especially at home going into the playoffs. I thought that we thoroughly deserved the game and I would have been disappointed if we didn't come out with a win.
decisions good position spot stand throughout tough
We have some tough decisions to make this week. But I think we're in a good spot that we have those tough decisions to make and it will stand as a good position to be in throughout the season.
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.
