But, but no less impressive a feat for a club that it felt like was starting to get a little bit stuck here and stuck in the playoffs after some, some recent failures.
30:02
Yeah.
30:02
I think it was just impressive the way they approached the game.
30:05
You know, you could see that...
30:07
And even when you looked at Schumacher's demeanor before the game and during the game, you know.
30:13
He, he's always full of beans on the touchline.
30:16
But before the game he was cool, he was calm.

10 MINS LATER

40:10
It was an absolute battering really, wasn't it, Baron, in terms of what they did to them and just maybe not in terms of the score line, we're not talking five or six, but just in terms of the, the control they had over the game and how comfortable it was for most of it as well.
3:12
Lucas Ness rising higher than you've ever seen anyone rise at Wembley to score the second, which really did kill the game, didn't it?
3:18
Yeah, it really did.
3:18
And again, it's a training ground move, and that's what Martin Paterson would've wanted.
3:23
He would've wanted his players to go out there and execute what we've worked on in training, execute what you've done for the last 48 games.
3:31
The delivery to the back post from Jody Jones, McDonald n- well, he just crashes it back across.
3:37
And Ness, the way that he rises, he wants to win it more than anyone else.
3:41
Gets up above everyone and powers it home.
4:39
But a really, really calm, composed finish, and that really did put a pin in things.
21:42
I know it's, again, it's hindsight again, but it just felt like it, it was such a blow in that moment when the atmosphere was so good in the stadium as well.
21:51
Yeah.
21:51
And I think if that goal goes in, they, they go on and, and they win the tie.
21:57
You know, I, I...
21:58
It's strange because we said before, you know, these teams we fancied that they'd win their home games and then it would be where, how they perform in, in the away legs.
22:09
I think that [laughs] I don't think any of them won their, won their home games.
22:14
You know, I think Stockport are the, are the only team that, that won their home game.
25:05
Again, he doesn't have great record in the playoffs, but just in terms of the, the experience and the savvy as it is p- at his disposal, is that gonna make a difference, do you think?
21:33
Do you wanna hear some permutations first or shall we, shall we crack on into, into what's to come?
21:39
There's so many things that can happen.
21:41
It's, it's actually ins- a insane finish to the season.
21:46
And it, it is very similar to last year where, you know, one goal goes in and it totally changes the whole complexion of the league.
21:55
A, a last-minute goal to- could knock somebody out, could put somebody in.
22:00
It's, it's fascinating.
22:02
The, the biggest thing is who can hold their nerve on the day.
25:26
Aaron, do you fear for either of them not getting what they need to get done?
