00:00A 2-0 win against Westfield and another good performance tonight, must be pleased with that?
00:06Yeah, I think it was a real professional performance tonight. I thought we were good from front to back.
00:11We limited them to most probably two chances.
00:14Fats made a great save after a slip by Steps, one-on-one, and then had one flushed across the goal in the second half.
00:20But yeah, put that aside, I thought again it was another dominant performance.
00:25So they've been unbeaten as well going into today, but you've stepped up again and well in control and well worthy again tonight.
00:32Yeah, we knew what to expect from them. We were well drilled with it.
00:36We talk about our own standards and we've just got to keep getting better and better.
00:41And just no let-offs. So many times you see, we talk about a Saturday, teams get back into games and we've got to find a way where we compete for 90 minutes.
00:50And at the moment we're doing that.
00:52Real good place at the minute, isn't it?
00:54Yeah, everyone's buying into it. The subs, they're frustrated they're not playing, but they understand it.
01:00And they're coming on with a real good attitude as well. So yeah, pleasing for everyone.
01:06Obviously created a few chances before the goal and kept pushing for it.
01:09And a really nice goal having Dean driving forward, playing it to Leeds who slots it away, shifts it inside and slots it away.
01:16Yeah, I don't think you're going to see much of a better team goal than that.
01:19I think the work ethic off the ball, we won it back in our own corner and popped two or three passes with people running back.
01:27And then Owen Dean on the back foot, driving forward.
01:31Old Leeds in and great cut back and just bent it in the corner. Real pleasing goal.
01:36Half-time 1-0, just more the same, was it? Standards?
01:40Yeah, standards. We made it a game tonight. We let them off, we missed a few chances.
01:47But that aside, I think Hugo in goal, he's most likely to be picked up by Man Utd tonight. He's made some great saves.
01:53So yeah, a little bit frustrating, but they were great saves.
01:58Like I say, we made it more of a game than it should have been.
02:03But we were professional in the second half and we dominated it. It was just a matter of time for the second one to come.
02:11I guess it was just you kept making all those blocks, didn't he?
02:15You just had to keep going and obviously you did. You did get the second with Cookie with the free kick.
02:21Yeah, I think we earned that bit of luck from the free kick and the deflection.
02:26I think he's pulled off a great double save on the line moments before that.
02:30So you create your own luck and we fully deserved the second one.
02:35And Leeds also hit the post just before that as well.
02:38Yeah, Leeds had a great chance. He was superb tonight up there.
02:42Just a real pest and he got his goal and maybe we should have had another.
02:47Daz obviously picked something up in the warm-up.
02:49Yeah, it's frustrating. We had two on Saturday in the warm-up and Daz literally just a couple of minutes before going in,
02:55just struck the ball and something went in his face.
02:57So we had to shuffle last minute. Not ideal because of the knock-on effect it can have with the other boys,
03:04especially being Daz and what he brings to the table.
03:07But I thought the boys dealt with it really well tonight.
03:09I guess that's another good sign, isn't it? Two games in a row you've had a last-minute adjustment
03:14and it's not knocking the boys at all. They're stepping up to it and getting on with it.
03:18Yeah, that's why pre-season is so key for us.
03:20How we work pre-season, how we drill everyone, how we rotate here.
03:25Everyone knows what we're doing and knows the system.
03:28People just start straight in.
03:30Great, obviously it's the first start tonight and you're going to get bedded in, isn't it?
03:36Yeah, we see moments with him. He's something that we haven't got, that physical strength up there.
03:42We saw great moments from him tonight. He's only going to get better and he's going to be a real asset for us.
03:49Another good crowd tonight for a midweek as well.
03:51Yeah, a great, great turnout, especially we've got five games coming up.
03:55People have got to spend a lot of money.
03:57But yeah, we appreciate it. It makes it for a good atmosphere, especially under the lights.
04:02One hopefully they enjoy as well.
04:04Another one obviously ticked off tonight. You just keep ticking them off?
04:06Yeah, we tick them off. Like we say, we've got a run of league games now, which we've been craving for.
04:11We're putting the points on the board, so we rest up and we go again Saturday.
04:17Yeah, so a quick turn around Ashford. Just want to keep going and take it to them really.
04:22Yeah, we'll take it to Ashford. We know their bank up and their physical side.
04:27So yeah, we'll come up with something and hopefully we put on a good show.
