FK Panevėžys 0 The New Saints 3 || Craig Harrison post-match thoughts

Craig Harrison we often talk about emotions at the end of the game What's going through your mind right now yeah look I don't I don't I don't want to get into it too much because it would make us really upset because it was the third anniversary with me M's passing yesterday and you know life's tough without that but you know you look at it and you and and I don't want to make it about that but it's you know you almost get what you deserve sometimes and the boys were fantastic today so from from that point of view it's um it's a massive performance it's you know a togetherness a will to run a will to tackle a will to block will ahead all the real basics in football that people take for granted you know and take for granted the this football club because we are a attacking offensive passing team possession based but all them things we got absolutely spot on tonight and in the boys were um look every single one of them you know the boys on the bench I didn't get on I delighted the boys that aren't you know that what injured you know the other things as well we had two injuries in the W in in the day before yesterday you know Ryan BR and Ash B I got got injured yesterday you know in the in the match day minus one so we've had that to to deal with as well so yeah it was um overall you know it's very proud um very happy but it's Hal time we've got to make sure our emotions are on check we got to make sure that we don't take anything of a grant this and from a football point of view we got to make sure we do the the right things between now and next week in in possibly the you know one of the biggest weeks of you know of the of the club's history but we've got good professionals good players that look after themselves and I think um yes it's a great score line great way performance some great goals everyone contributed massively but we got to make sure that it's um like I said it's half time and um we don't want to get into the false sense of security and and you know and just think we're going to turn up next Thursday and we're going to win again because we will not you get bit on the backside quite quickly in football so as much as we're really pleased in the dress room was really you know buzzing and everyone's happy for each other you know we're all in it together then then you know we've got have a reality check that we've got another 90 minutes this time next week he was nil nil at the break and I guess many people from A Wider Circle would have been happy with that score line to go back to parkour next week but to get the three goals in the second period that really was the icing on the cake this even and although as you rightly say we've just interviewed Danny Davis as well the same message came through there it's just halim there's still a massive 0 to go next week but nevertheless it is a good position to be in yeah it is you would draw that be we draw that being 3-0 up the nil nil without Shadow doubt you know nil nil wouldn't have been the worst result away from home in European football but we're in we're in a good position but like I said you know we um we we we don't want to you know start get sloppy and and get you know and and just think we've won the game because we haven't we've got another 90 minutes to go and and and lots of things can happen that 90 minutes so we need to make sure we're as professional as we are everyone looks after themselves over the next three or four days everyone gets rest recovery hydration and look after look Afters and we and we we go again next week we'll travel back tomorrow Lads will have a couple of days off and we'll be back at it on Sunday and then preparing Monday Tuesday Wednesday for another big 90 minutes and as far as the third goal is concerned 90 plus one that was a a massive one for the new Saints one of your substitutions Ben Clark found the back of the net yeah he did yeah you know no doubt clar would have been disappointed he didn't start the game he started the majority of European games but we we we thought we we went with the right team and you know and it worked out we did for this game you know and the lads understand you know I've spoke to them about it the reasons why etc etc you know and like I said um there's a real togetherness of of yes I'm disappointed that I'm not in the starting 11 but once that whistle goes then we're all in together you know 30 30 plus of us including the staff you know we all we all in it together and we've got each other's backs and we want everyone to do well so it's a fantastic achievement for to for to get a group of players in that frame of mind but um but yeah it's a good night tonight but it's as you said we've got a really big 90 minutes this time next week
