Is that the case?

Yeah.

I mean, listen, every game's important, but, you know, we know there's an extra urge to this.

This is a massive game and you could feel that with the fans and the way everyone was in the build-up during the week.

But, yeah, you know, all we want to do as players is make our supporters proud and hopefully we've done that today.

Does that performance show the lads knew how important it was? Yeah, of course.

I mean, listen, that should be the standard.

Yeah,

Tommy, step up in opposition and minutes this evening.

How did you find it? Yeah, it was enjoyable.

Listen, obviously you want to win every football match you play, no matter when it's in season or pre-season.

So there's obviously a little bit of a frustration that we couldn't win.

For me personally, it was nice to be back out in front of the fans again.

You know, it's been a while.

Nice playing with my teammates again.

Did it feel like it was a real step up this evening?
