POSTGAME QUOTES: New England Revolution II 2 vs. New York City FC II 4

Revolution II Head Coach Clint Peay

On his assessment of the match:

Peay:"Yeah, I thought it was a match that I didn't think we were very good with the ball in critical situations. I think it took us a while to be a little bit more calm and composed to dictate things in possession, and I felt that we did a better job in the second half of that prior to going down a man, but yeah, for me it's just another game where the details caught up to us and not executing in the critical moments cost us, so it's a unfortunately another hard lesson for the group, and it's an area where, you know, individually we all need to sort of reflect and look at ourselves and figure out, 'how can I be better?'"

On Pierre Cayet's development through his 50 appearances with the team:

Peay: "Pierre [Cayet] is a tremendous leader. He's talking to the group now afterwards. He brings intensity every day. He shows it by example, and he's just what you want out of a player. You know what you're going to get from him every game and I can't speak highly enough of him."

On Ezra Widman making his professional debut:

Peay: "We were down some bodies and Ezra [Widman] has been with us all along, so it makes sense to bring him along. He was our only real midfield substitution, so it made sense to put them in and give him a try and see if he could help us and that was that."

On Marcos Dias and Jordan Adebayo-Smith's offensive contributions this season:

Peay: "I think that's what they [Marcos Dias and Jordan Adebayo-Smith] are there to do. They're attacking players. We expect and want them to be able to be dangerous for the group, and obviously they've been able to do that, and I still think there's more that they can give in that regard, but yes, that's their role and they're doing a decent job and I think there's even more for them."
