00:00 I'll go first, then I'll just go round the room.
00:10 Dan, how about that? What a victory here at the Bournemouth Stadium. Can I just get your thoughts on the game first?
00:20 Yeah, I think we probably made it a bit more difficult than we should have. I think after Saturday's performance, we all really were disappointed to only come away with a point.
00:28 We knew how important it was tonight to get three and put that right. We did it and obviously we're all happy to have three points now.
00:35 Time to celebrate a bit, but head down and get ready for Saturday now.
00:40 The gaffer spoke a lot in his post-matches about how we've played some really nice stuff, but we perhaps haven't seen teams off, obviously, the Tuesday night against Exeter and then Salford on Saturday.
00:49 How pleasing is it for the group to finally finish off two really well-worked goals?
00:54 Yeah, definitely. It's what we work on on the training ground. We've been working on the patterns of play and you start to see them in games and now you kind of want to see the end product, which we showed tonight.
01:02 I think everyone's really happy with it.
01:04 Personally, it must be a great feeling to get your first competitive goal for the club and some goal it was as well. Talk us through it.
01:09 Yeah, I know it's getting the first one, getting up and running for the season now. Obviously, the last two games I was happy with my performance, but I just felt I was missing a goal.
01:16 Obviously, tonight I was a bit cramped.
01:18 Obviously, it's probably expected, how much you've cramped.
01:21 Obviously, tonight to round it off for a goal I was really happy with and Adam Dunn done really well getting on it. Obviously, me and Dom, we work on that in training.
01:30 If it's not him, it's me and the person making the run. Just all in the back of the net. I'm happy it went in and happy to get the first one.
01:38 Yeah, I remember when we spoke before the Bradford game, obviously we spoke about how some people had written us off, especially for the first three games when you looked at them on paper.
01:46 How pleasing is it to just prove so many of those people wrong, but also how important is it to stay grounded and realise that there's a long way to go?
01:53 Yeah, I think definitely. Obviously, starting the season where we have done, I guess you give ourselves a pat on the back for that.
01:58 But it's no good if we don't back up now and carry on game after game.
02:02 So, we're not going to listen to outside noise and we know what we've got in the building.
02:05 We know what we're doing every day and we're just going to keep working hard and hopefully the results keep going our way.
02:10 Yeah, finally from a club point of view, obviously we mentioned there you've hit your first goal. The fans have been pretty appreciative of you so far.
02:17 You've got yourself a nice little chant. How good was it to just get that goal in front of that terrace? It was a great atmosphere tonight, wasn't it?
02:23 Yeah, definitely. Obviously, when I sign for the club, you kind of pick up on what end the away fans are and what end the home fans are.
02:28 You always kind of want your first one to be in front of the home fans. So, obviously tonight to do that and for it to be the winner, I'm really happy with it overall.
02:35 Perfect. Thank you, Dan.
02:36 Cheers.
02:37 Hi, Dan. How does it feel to get your first goal for the club really and at the start of the season you've had three games.
02:44 You've stayed unbeaten and to be third in the league. How does that really feel after that?
02:48 Yeah, it's a great feeling, obviously. You see the work we've put on the training ground and obviously for that then turning performances into performances and for it to turn into points is the main thing.
02:58 So, we're just going to keep working hard and again myself just staying grounded and just looking on to the next one now and trying to get another goal and another three points.
03:05 How far do you think Crawley can go this season if you keep playing with this kind of confidence and the ability that the players are showing out there today?
03:12 I think we'll ask the people on Twitter if they want to keep saying stuff about us and we'll see what happens at the end of the season.
03:17 People obviously have written Crawley off and obviously been favourites for relegation. Does it really give that extra incentive to prove those people wrong when you go out there on a match day?
03:28 Personally, I don't really listen to it. I did see on Twitter now the new layout and someone said what's the lowest point tally and it was eight I think and obviously now we're on seven.
03:40 So, in three games, results speak for themselves and performances speak for themselves.
03:45 So, I'm sure other teams will be watching the games we've played and they'll be impressed and they'll be looking forward to coming in and playing against us.
03:52 On Saturday, you're facing Gillingham who are now top of the league. How bad a test is that going to be?
04:01 Of course, I think again, you could have said the same about Bradford and Salford again, two teams who were in the playoffs last year.
04:07 Tonight, obviously, MK coming into it were two games, two wins. So, we're just going to keep rolling with the punches, go out, put another performance in and hopefully that turns into points again.
04:17 There was one fan who stood up in front of us, the press box, when you scored, you were going gold and said it's like watching Brazil.
04:23 Does it feel like you're playing with the style that Scott's got you playing?
04:26 Yeah, I think the way that Gaffer's got us playing, everyone enjoys it. For me personally, going into training every day now and we're playing that style of football, it's exciting, it's fun.
04:35 You want to be involved in it because I guess you could say we are really playing true Barcelona style football to a certain degree.
04:43 We're trying to get the ball down and just play it on the floor and I think the players we've got, it suits us.
04:48 I think everyone's bought into what the Gaffer wants and it's good to be out there on the pitch and showing the fans what we've been working on.
04:55 Excellent. Gary, over to you.
