Lee Johnson spoke about the win against Bolton, a big three points but says there is still room for improvement...
DECISIONS
“I think we made some poor decisions on the ball. When you’re out there and you’ve been a player and you want the win so much, sometimes it’s the hardest thing in the world to do to have the fire in the belly and the ice in the head."
FIRE IN THE BELLY
“We had the fire in the belly today and not quite enough of the ice in the head. In saying that, we’ve had three or four breakaways that really we should have been more potent with. Like I say I’m pleased."
GOOD RESULT
“The lads have come in and not feeling almost like they’ve won because of how much effort they’ve had to put in and I was really conscious to say that is a really good result and you’ve got to enjoy it, particularly for the next 24 hours. I think the fans willed us on."
EMOTIONS
"We were making some emotive decisions I thought, which led us to giving the ball away more often than I'd have liked but at the same time, I can't knock the too much because I've asked them to play. You can't have both, the intention to keep the ball but tell someone to shell it when it sits on the edge of the box."
BIG WIN
"That's a big three points for us, because they will take a lot of points and be up there at the end of the season. By Christmas you will see them rooted in the top six, I'm fairly sure of that."
GOOD START
"We had a good start, but you had to pick up that moment. I thought our positioning in possession was poor, and it led to lads almost thinking they were having good individual performances but without doing enough for the team dynamic."
AGGRESSIVE
"We weren't using the trigger pass or turn as a catalyst for our pressing, and there wasn't enough penetration in behind. To be fair we shouted on just before the goal to get our full backs higher and to be more aggressive, and it worked because we were able to go full back to full back soon after."
KILL TEAMS OFF
"Then it's about killing teams off. I know that might sound a bit disrespectful to Bolton because they had some very good chances in between, but we had a lot of opportunities and it's something I believe we can really improve on.
LAW OF AVERAGES
"Someone is going to get beat four or five, law of averages says it with the openings we're creating."
