00:00Paul, 1-0 draw against Ascot, pretty competitive game, thoughts on that?
00:06Yeah, it was a competitive game, but Ascot played their part in it, I thought they were good today.
00:11We were a bit off it with the ball, but I thought it always looked like it was going to be a 1-0 game.
00:16And then just a silly decision by Steps on the tackle, no need to do it.
00:21And yeah, it might have cost us three points in the end.
00:25So yeah, you got the goal right on half-time through Owen Dean, nice move and good finish there.
00:31Yeah, it was a good move, there wasn't too much happening in the final thirds for both teams.
00:36I think they were trying to be a threat and set pieces.
00:39But yeah, they were comfortable on the ball, they were good with the ball, but didn't really threaten us.
00:44Yeah, it's a little bit frustrating.
00:47Yeah, the equaliser didn't really look like it was coming at all, did it really? At 1-0 it looked like that would be it.
00:52Yeah, it just looked like a 1-0 game. We'll see it out, we'll pick a chance off at the end.
00:58But yeah, I can say that it was a costly decision.
01:03What was the message at half-time?
01:06I just think just to get better as the game goes on.
01:09They put a lot of effort in in the first half and you can see last ten, their legs started to go.
01:15And it's just a matter of managing the first 15 and then being good with the last half hour.
01:20Which almost paid off, but not quite.
01:23So obviously the penalty was one of those, he tucks it away.
01:26But he did create some chances then to go and win it again.
01:30Yeah, I think they've had one blocked, a few people in the box.
01:36But yeah, we had a great chance to win it with this, just putting it in the goal.
01:40It hasn't quite happened and we've had to take a point.
01:44Obviously you'd have liked all three, but you take the point.
01:47The competitive side are having a pretty good season, aren't they?
01:50Yeah, they're a good side.
01:51For what we've come against so far, they're definitely going to be in and amongst it all.
01:55Yeah, they're a good side.
01:57Thoughts now?
01:58We see Boxing Day, Hartley-Whitney, that'll be a big game there.
02:01They were postponed today, but thoughts?
02:03Yeah, just talking to the boys then.
02:05We've got a busy period now, the three games coming up.
02:08It's just about winning games and just finding the way.
02:11We've been excellent at doing that.
02:14It's been a really good season so far.
02:17There's still a long way to go, but it's obviously going to be a real busy couple of weeks now, isn't it?
02:20Boxing Day, Badger on May, New Year's Day.
02:22It's a real keen period of the season.
02:24It is, yeah.
02:25We've got three quite fit squads now.
02:29Dez has obviously got a start today and Jack D'Angelo's first start.
02:32Liv's back on holiday today, so they've all got good minutes in their legs.
02:35So yeah, squad-wise, we're in a good place.
02:38Obviously, Rich Clay, after three years of training,
02:40obviously, Jay Jones missed out on a couple of stitches on the side.
02:43But yeah, after this, we're in a good place squad-wise.
02:47Yeah, it's just sort of great and maximating really, isn't it, at the moment?
02:51Yeah, that'd be the two long-term ones.
02:52Hopefully, Richie and Belay will be close to returning.
02:55Obviously, we've got Kai out of the fleet, who's doing well there.
02:59So yeah, we can call upon a couple.
03:01Last Saturday before Christmas, a big eight-under crowd again.
03:04You just keep turning out and backing the football team.
03:07Yeah, it was a good day for it today.
03:09You know, they braved the weather just before Christmas.
03:11Shame couldn't get those three points.
03:13Yeah, we go again and hope they enjoy the Christmas.
03:16Yeah, as you say, going to Christmas, top of the league.
03:18That's a nice Christmas present for the fans.
03:20Yeah, it's the start of the season.
03:22If you offered us that, we'd definitely take it.
03:24So yeah, we're the team to catch and we're fine with that.
03:28Yeah, we keep going.
03:29Yeah, as I say, that busy period now.
03:30Just look to attack it and keep picking up those results.
03:33Yeah, that's it. That's all we've got to do.
