00:00Bristol City head coach Liam Manning was disappointed with his side's loss away at Burnley in the
00:07championship, but the Robins were still encouraged by teams around them dropping points, keeping
00:12them in the race for the playoffs.
00:15Probably frustrated, I think you come here, you want to test yourself against a team that
00:22are in a good spot, obviously with an extremely strong squad and it's one of those where I
00:26know we're capable of playing better, so that's probably why there's an element of
00:29frustration but at the same point there's some positives to take from it as well, the
00:35way we fought to the end, we kept going, we blocked shots, put our bodies on the line
00:40for the team, it was outstanding but it's probably just that little bit of frustration
00:45I think, a little bit sloppy at times, a little bit careless with the ball.
00:52I think they created a large number of chances hence we had to put bodies on the line, make
00:56saves etc, so when you look at it it's obviously frustrating, the margins are so fine especially
01:01as the game goes on longer, you kind of think can we steal a point here, can we nick something
01:06here, we had a corner, you obviously had a half decent chance but it's one of those days
01:10where it wasn't to be.
01:13And finally, Bristol Rovers head coach Nigel Calderon could not hide his frustration after
01:18the Gaffs were beaten at home by Mansfield in League One.
01:22Not good obviously, I would say it's been the cheapest one, we gave away in terms of
01:28the game, I think it was a good week, I think the way we trained the whole week, the way
01:33we prepared the whole week was good and all of a sudden in the first minute that happened
01:37and after we did, I think we did the most difficult thing, that was to come back from
01:43that situation and in the second half something similar, you know I think especially the goals
01:50they kill us in the way we were because I think that kills you a little bit because
01:56then you expect to concede goals but the way they were like a woof is now our day to day
02:03and that was tough to take.
02:07We have done a lot of good things but obviously we make our lives so difficult today.
