Craig Farrell: We need to put it right on Saturday

Posted on: Mon 25 Jan 2010

So disappointing the other night so now you can only focus on the playoffs and try get to Wembley another way.

Yeah, we can look at it that way and the fact that we've got no distractions now and our goal of getting in those playoffs but on the other hand we wanted to do well in that competition, it's a massive incentive to get to play at Wembley at the end, growing up as a footballer you dream of one day playing there and I don't know whether many of the lads have so in that respect it's very disappointing. Now we've got to go forward, we've got some good games coming up where we as a group feel we can go on and start pushing ourselves up towards the top of the league and we need to put it right on Saturday.

Do you feel that's why you let yourselves down on Tuesday, because it wasn't a bad performance overall.

It wasn't and we dominated the game from start to finish, we may have started a little bit sloppy at the start in the first ten minutes, but I thought we definitely deserved to win the game. If you look on the basis of chances and shots, we definitely had the lion's share and I can't really remember Dale having a save to make. I wouldn't have said there were many clear cut chances in that respect for what we had but I thought we dominated possession and it wasn't a bad performance, it was the conditions, the pitch was horrendous and while it was the same for both teams, it maybe didn't suit the way we play and we should on paper have won the game.

It's been a very frustrating month, Tuesday night was only the second time we had played in a month and it was sort of like a pre season game in the sense that you don't know where the games are coming from, it nearly got called off again where we were told it was called off because of a floodlight failure but luckily about half an hour later it was put back on.
