John Ellinger Played Quotations

I would say Danny is getting more and more comfortable. I thought he played fairly well in both games.

He's been a warrior. He's played some good games in a lot of pain, and I certainly appreciate everything Paul has given us to try and make us more competitive during this stretch.

I thought we played well in both halves. Unfortunately we had one mistake in our defensive shape and they put in the rebound, but it worked out in the end. I can't tell you how happy I am for Jason (Kreis) to get that goal.

We're not playing poorly. Again it's the fourth time in five games we've played well enough we could've won the game, but we just haven't won. We just have to find ways to win games, what's been going on most of the year is we're finding ways to lose games.

Even in the first half we had moments when we played well, but in the second half, we broke down, we broke down and broke down again. It's just unacceptable.

I definitely felt that we competed throughout and I think we can do even better with that. We just have to eliminate mistakes. If you can do that, you're always in every game, especially on the road. I think that is as competitive as we've played on the road since I've been here.

The effort was better tonight, but the bottom line was still a negative result. We played a 3-4-3 tonight to keep the pressure coming down the front, everything was positive except the final result and everyone is down about the final result. We had more of a fighting spirit tonight and played more physically.

The fighting spirit was better. Pressure on the ball was better, and we played a bit more physical tonight, which was good.
