00:00Karl, a superb 3-2 win tonight, sum up the game in as many words as you can.
00:11It was a whirlwind at the end, but TNS really caused us a lot of problems in the first half
00:18and then go 1-0 up. They could have gone 2-3 really if they'd taken the chances. But they
00:22didn't and we haven't gone in there. Christian Norton's got us a goal from nothing really,
00:26a great flick on and he's gone through, rode a couple of challenges and fair play to the
00:31referee, good advantage. Christian's got a great finish and to go in 1-1 here is a great
00:38achievement for us. We thought we could grow on it, but then when we conceded in the 80-something
00:43minute, we just think, here we go again. We just go out on our feet a lot of the times
00:48here. We have nothing more but the substitutions, the desire from the players, Alex Downes,
00:54Nathan Peat went on, Aaron Edwards went on. Two leaders and two players who wanted to
01:01go and change the game and not just accept that we've gone 2-1 down here. They've done
01:05really, really well to go 1-1 and win it, which we did.
01:10Like you said, here we go again. We've had disappointing results here in the past. It's
01:14the first win against TNS in about five years. How pleased are you with that?
01:19It's just to win here and to win against the calibre of TNS and the resources that
01:23they've got. It's not just about the resources, the players. They've got good, good, good
01:27players that have asked so many questions of us. You've got to give us a bit of credit
01:31for the way we've defended and the way we've wanted to go and win it. Alex Downes for the
01:35second goal, we go 2-1 down, Alex Downes drive forward. It's a fantastic desire to go and
01:41win it. A lot of teams then would have sat back and been happy with the draw, but we've
01:47gone and won it. I'm not sure how Hussain's had it, but he's gone through and he's shown
01:52great composure to get the winner, which is just unbelievable. And now going into the
01:57next game, Britain Ferry away. Another tough game after they've won tonight. Yeah, Britain
02:01Ferry will be a really tough game, like every game in this league is. So it's important
02:06that we go about it right. If we don't, we'll lose. Like anywhere else, if we go to any
02:10team or any club in this league and don't approach it right, we will be in big trouble.
02:15It's important that we get ourselves right now. Obviously, they've played today and we'll
02:18be travelling down there on the weekend to play them. But it'll be a tough game, it'll
02:23be a really tough game. I think they've got off the mark tonight as well, so they'll be
02:26really up for it. It's going to be a big test for us.
