David obviously frustration and disappointment on Saturday but there was another positive performance where we dominated large parts of the game didn’t we yeah look we we we can talk about decisions but we we’re building and there was progress our performance on Saturday was better than our the

Previous game and the previous game was better than the one before that so if we keep on that Journey we’re going to be fine and that’s the that’s the important thing to remember I suppose the only thing missing on thatly was that Killer Instinct cuz chances were being created

It was just about taking them wasn’t it yeah which is more than like I said the previous game the one before that against for green so you know we’re building slowly um of course it’ help if we become more ruthless the good thing is we still

Looked as as secure at the back whilst also creating chances so we’ve got to make sure that that Trend continues I think certain had one shot on target um and we all know what that was so you know we’ve we’ve got to make sure that that development and that Improvement

Keeps happening how do you go about turning those chances into those goals is it I suppose the players will be confident getting those chances but how do you get that confidence to take those chances it’s practice it’s practice the more you practice the better you become at anything doesn’t

Matter whether it’s learning to play the piano or scoring footballs scoring goals um so so we know that that’s a big part of our development um you know this time last month it was all about stopping goals at home particularly um even though we done it away now we’ve been doing that fairly

Well um and we’ve going to maintain that at blundel Park whilst also creating chances like we did on Saturday it’s MK Don tomorrow night the side you facing your first game and that while 48 hours for you weren’t Toe to Toe with them there obviously A lot’s changed since then

What sort of challenge you expect tomorrow night look they’ve improved you know that we knew that probably when we played them in the reverse fixture that they were probably at a low Mike’s obviously had a lot more time to work with them and he’s got them on a

Great run but at the same time we also know that anyone can beat anyone in this division we know that we should have beaten them that night so we know that we’re going to um be able to give them a game and we’ve got to make sure that our

Belief and our positivity that we’ve had over the last four or five games continues how is the how is the squad looking at it’s been a difficult last couple of weeks with a lot of traveling particularly to London yeah look it was it was a long week last week There’s not

Getting around two trips to London and biking getting in at 4:00 in the morning on Wednesday and being back on the road Friday it’s a long week but I said in the week I’m not I’m not going on Steve Cal the games of football there’s people

Who do far worse things than than play football and and having to train on a Monday morning and Etc so well we’ll be you know ready and you know fully ready for the for the game come quot to wait tomorrow night another pleasing thing from Saturday was ctis Thompson last the

90 minutes how’s he doing you expect that that’s a good a good boost for him now going yeah I I think everyone can see over the last few games what we’ve had to do with ktis and ktis has really been the driver in that I have to say

He’s he’s old enough and wise enough to tell us when when his races run and and and be open and honest I don’t think that’s a um a weakness I think it’s a real strength that he can he’s got the the confidence and the the understanding

That we don’t think any less of him if he says after 60 or 70 180 minutes that’s me done that’s that’s that shows real maturity um thankfully got through the game on Saturday and that’s a real good thing for us because hopefully from now on he’ll be able to do that and just

Finally how pleased are you with the options you’ve got at your disposal now Justin obviously got his first goal that’ll give him the all of confidence and there’s Donnie pushing for for starts and Green’s come back in to good effect on Saturday yeah obviously you know Don Donnie was excellent at um

Wimbledon without scoring um we felt Justin would be better on Saturday and I thought he was excellent he probably should have scored more than one but he scored his first goal um so yeah we we know we’ve got options up the top end of the pitch we just got to make sure that

We become more ruthless as a team and it’s not just those players it’s all of us um so yeah we we’re I think we’re in a good place in a minute we’ve got to maintain that
