Not sure which journos took part in the press conference, but it hardly sounded like tough questioning. One question about the Cooper incident, and then no follow-up questions to Price's bland answer of "there was nothing in it". Not really good enough, that. If there was nothing in it, it would not have happened.

Not much to report was there? Interesting how he noticed that Cas managed to raise themselves & play magnificently to get to Wembley but we couldn't be ar$ed.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Pointless PR exercise, full of the usual cliches, all lapped up by poor quality journos, too scared for their own jobs to ask any difficult questions.

Should have Jenna Brookes asking the questions. She can be quite direct in the post match interviews.

well that went well, what a pointless conference, just explaining what everybody else knew, we were garbage, and it is now getting to be a habit. :SHOOT:

The apparent lack of basic follow-up questions just seems incredible.

Here's how it should have gone...

"There's a few things we've addressed as a group, which we needed to, and I'm confident we can move forward having learnt some harsh lessons."

So, WHICH things have been addressed, Steve? Was it a long discussion between the coaching group and the players? Did things get heated while these things were being addressed? Do you feel that everyone is on the same page now?

"We'll get back to fixing up our defence and the result will take care of itself."

But HOW do you go about fixing the defence? Which aspects of the defence are failing? Is it the way the defence has been set up, or is it individual efforts (or lack of) that are to blame? If it's the latter, will you see that as a reason to make changes in the team?

"Nothing in it whatsoever. If there was an issue, me and Mike would sort it out and address it. From my end and Mike's end, there's no issues whatsoever."

To the viewer it clearly looked like he shoved you, Steve. Was that how you saw it at the time? Did Cooper apologise to you? Did you challenge him about it?

If the coach is allowed to get away with dishing up bland, unchallenged answers, he may as well just issue a press release rather than hold a conference. As fans, I don't think we have been well served by this.
