And to be fair to the players, I thought their attitude was top class.
No, it didn't change, but it was a surprise.
Obviously, the two centre-halves, they were missing our big players for them.
So it was a surprise, but it didn't alter what we did.
Our plan was our plan and we've worked on it all week.
So that didn't change.
But obviously, them missing two of their key centre-backs obviously helps us.
Yeah, it is.
Look, I'd imagine that with Pico, he won't play for us again until after the World Cup and imagine, you know, we could get him back, but I don't see we take that risk.
It doesn't make sense.
If you look at the players that are playing there tonight, you've got Enda, who's played at the highest level for a number of years.
You've got Lee, who's been one of the best in the country for a long time.
And Dan is very similar and has won so many titles.
So when you have that three, yeah, you're really comfortable.
Obviously, Pique is a top player, but the three players, they're not three kids that come in and try to learn the game.
They're three top players.
So, yeah, it's an easy transition.
Yeah, it was.
It was important we started here because once they get going and they get the crowd involved and they score, they're a handful.
They're a real handful.
