Colin Clarke Minutes Quotations

He ended up playing 90 minutes last week when we didn't really want him to because we are trying to ease him back. It's an injury in a place that he is going to get a lot of contact so we have to take it slowly.

Yeah, he has played well. He has a bit of a groin strain, but he went through 45 minutes (Saturday against Houston) and I thought he showed some nice touches and combined well with the group, so he's doing well.

First half we dominated the game. We had a couple chances (and) the first goal we knew was going to be important. We dragged ourselves back twice from behind; we showed a lot of character. ... We played 120 hard minutes on Wednesday night and I think it took its toll on us toward the end. We couldn't get close enough to them at times and we gave up a few chances.

Defensively we were pretty solid. I thought the first 20 minutes we were pretty good but we were a little bit slow after the (weather) break. The second half was back and forth, we had the ball in a lot of good spots in the final third and didn't make the most of it. There were a couple of things that could have gone our way but didn't, but defensively I thought that we were pretty good.

It was a good exercise. We got the main group through 45 minutes each and that's what the goal was and I'm happy that everybody came out unscathed.
