00:00Crystal Rover's head coach Inigo Calderon has outlined just how happy he was with his side's performance against Birmingham City at Memorial Stadium in midweek.
00:10The Gats lost against the league leaders by two goals to one, but Calderon was overall satisfied with the performance that his side put out against a quality opposition.
00:21Yeah, the fact that we conceded that early again, it was like, wow, boys, that was not what we wanted, you know, especially after coming from last weekend.
00:29But I think, great to the boys, they saw reaction, because it's not easy after conceding that early again against the top team, I think it's going to be a long night.
00:37But I think they reacted really good, really, really good, great for the boys, because I think, as I say, it was not easy at all.
00:42And that's why it probably helps even more, you know, because with everything we did, conceding a penalty is like, it's quite cruel, you know, brutal.
00:52But that's the reality, that's the reality, even the referees, you know, when it's a 50-50, when you're down there, it's going to be for the other ones.
00:58And that's it. I mean, you cannot even complain. We have to accept it like that. And we have to do better and better.
01:05And again, I say to the boys, we have to go again and tomorrow and again and again and again and again. That's the only thing we can do.
01:11And finally, defender Taylor Moore has made clear that Bristol Rovers are already looking ahead to their next fixture away at Bolton Wanderers with the aim of responding.
01:20It's a tough one, tough one to take. Just, I feel a bit deflated. I think the whole dressing room probably feels the same.
01:28It feels that we deserve more out of the game tonight, at least a point. And yeah, just to concede the goals in the manner that we did as well is frustrating.
01:37And the first one so early on in the game, again, kind of takes the sting out of the game a little bit.
01:42But we did so well to come back and we put in a real battling performance tonight, like every man.
01:47And so, yeah, frustrating and especially to concede the second goal in the manner that we did.
01:53And yeah, just very frustrating. But no time to really feel sorry for ourselves.
01:59You can have a little sulk and a little moan for a couple of hours. But as of tomorrow morning, we go again and prepare for Bolton.
02:05Obviously, there's a lot of things we can do better leading up to that goal, myself included.
02:09But Anderson shows some quality cuts inside and it's a good finishing to the top corner.
