Hear from Robbie Rock after today’s 4-0 loss to Knockbreda

Q - It's a 4-0 loss here against Knockbreda at Breda Park in the PIL. In a game where we seemed to play really well and we were doing everything we wanted to do in the first half, were we left ruing mischances?

A - Yeah, 100%.We were very strong in the first half. Probably had three or four opportunities to score and didn't take any of them. Then all of a sudden, we're on the hit by a good counter attack but we've ended up conceding after it's gone in a 1-0 at half time and definitely I think that's the best way to spread the first half is probably play some really good football but definitely we're left around those chances that we have.

Q - Robbie, do you have an update on Adam Hamilton and Rory O'Connor, both been all injured throughout the game?

A - No full update on them yet.It looks like Adam Hamilton is a muscle injury. And it looks like Rory's might just be a little bit of a knock on his head.But the lads will be fully assessed.Just focusing on the first half where we played well.

Q - We've had this before throughout the season where you've had a good 20, you've had a good 30. I suppose, how do we break through that ceiling and actually capitalise on the momentum that we have in games?

A - It's a tough one, how we get there, because myself and my coaching team, we really do work hard on the pitch with the lads and trying to do the analysis, everything like that.And just unfortunately, I don't know right now if it's just going to be an experience.It's just going to bejust don't take our chances at that moment in time.You know, we have a bunch of takes, but for us personally, the lads were really annoyed with themselves at the end of the game.

They were really annoyed that they let it get to there, that they made so many chances that we got there and they weren't able to capitalise on it. And like that, we just, unfortunately, we just need to pick ourselves up and go again because we had a really tough game away

Friday night and every morning. On a more positive note, our three centre-halves who played together for the first time against Brighton Rangers last week, Logan Sands, Rory O'Connor, Ben Povil, played well again today.

Q - Seems to be a chemistry among those three. Are you almost settled on this centre-half partnership?

A - Depending on how Rory's injury is, yeah, them three definitely complement each other. They're very good at getting on the ball, playing out the way we want them to do.

All three of them are very composed on the ball. But like that, it all depends on Rory's injury.Hopefully it's nothing big and hopefully we can settle on that because they've been a joy to watch, especially at training this week. Finally got them all together.

They've worked really hard on it. And again, just for them, I think they've always won out of all three of them, 19, maybe 20.You know, there's a lot of time and a lot of building they can do. And it's just really good to see them actually start to link in so close together to get that pack going.And then hopefully they can just focus on that, keep it going.And hopefully Rory's injury isn't too bad that we can just build on it.

Q - Just a final word today on Jayden Keaveney or man of the match. Jadon was relentless all off the pitch about tackles, great passing.

A - Yeah that's Jayden. When I came here first, he was one of the first players I contacted about coming up with him. I know what I'll get off Jayden, I think he's played right wing back today, left wing back, centre half, you know he moved into a little bit more of a midfield role near the end of the game and it's just what I expect of him. He's like James Milner, he'll play anywhere, and he'll always give you 100%. He deserved to be a man of the match today.
