00:00 Dan, here we are after MK Dons, you've reached Wembley, you've scored a hat-trick, how are
00:06 you feeling right now?
00:07 Unbelievable. I don't think there's words to quite put into how the boys are feeling,
00:11 how I'm feeling. It's a fantastic achievement, but we're not done yet. There's one more game
00:15 to go and we're looking forward to going to Wembley and putting on a show there.
00:18 You couldn't have asked for more about Scott, certainly couldn't have asked for more from
00:22 everybody tonight, could they? What a performance that was.
00:24 Yes, I think over the two legs we've put absolutely everything into these two games and the scoreline
00:28 reflects it. MK are a great side, they play football very similar to us, so we knew we
00:33 were going to have to match them, not only for the footballing side but the running side
00:35 and if not do it better than them. So to come away now and know we're going to Wembley,
00:39 it's a fantastic achievement from the boys and everyone's really looking forward to it.
00:42 Yes, and I know after every goal, straight over to those fans. Even when Jay was there,
00:47 you all sprinted down there. Was that something you planned to do before the game, always
00:51 go right in front of them?
00:53 No, I think it was just one of them things, like you can see how high up they are up there,
00:56 up in the gods and we wanted them to be a part of it and kind of feel like we can hear
01:00 them. They were fantastic all the way through, not only today but at Broadfield the other
01:04 day, it was a fantastic atmosphere and it really spurred us on.
01:07 Have you ever played at Wembley?
01:08 No, first time. What I've dreamt of as a kid, so I can't wait for it.
01:12 You're hoping he's picked you next week?
01:13 I'm hoping so, I'm hoping so. I have to stay in his good books.
01:16 What will it feel like to walk out of Wembley this week? It's going to be incredible, isn't it?
01:20 Yes, it's going to be unbelievable. Like I said, it's what you dream of as a kid. I've
01:23 gone there a few times to watch Arsenal and always dreamt about playing on that pitch.
01:26 So to finally have that opportunity, we're all looking forward to it. We're going to
01:29 go there, give it our all and we'll keep the underdog story going. Everyone voted us off
01:33 at the start of the season and so now we're going to Wembley. We're 90 minutes away from
01:38 potentially League One. So what a story, let's go and finish it off.
01:41 Scott said he wants to thank everyone who tipped him to go down at the beginning of
01:45 the season. How does that feel to prove everyone wrong?
01:50 Yes, it's a bit like my story altogether really. Not playing academy football or anything
01:54 like that. And then to make my way up from non-league, I was always the underdog. So
01:58 coming here, it's kind of been the perfect fit. A few other boys have similar stories
02:01 about not quite making it elsewhere. Then to come here and gel and play the way we're
02:05 playing. Yes, everyone keeps writing us off, but at the end of the day, we deserve to be
02:09 here because we play good football and we get good results all the way through the season.
02:12 That's thanks to the gaffer for the way he set us up.
02:14 Well, I'm looking forward to seeing him play at Wembley.
02:18 Thank you, cheers.
