00:00Gavin, for 40 minutes I thought you deservedly 0-0 and had some good chances to take the
00:07lead there and then I guess obviously two goals right before half-time is a bit of a
00:11bad... doesn't help does it?
00:13Doesn't help, I thought they were the better team if I'm honest from the start of the game
00:18and probably could have scored themselves before we even had our chances so we had two
00:23very good chances that I don't even think we worked the goalkeeper properly so we're
00:27disappointed with that but would we have been deserving of a lead? Probably not but
00:31it's happened to us plenty of times when we've probably been on top and haven't scored and
00:34then been done by saying but we couldn't put the ball in the net and then we give two...
00:38from our point of view I thought nowhere near tight enough and people looked yards off their
00:43man today and it looked like a little bit of a clueless performance if I'm honest by
00:48a group that I think have done well recently without getting results, come off the pitch
00:54going how we lost, how we lost but today we deserve to lose. I thought they were good
01:00to be fair, whether they were good because we made them look good or whether they were
01:05at fault I don't know, it's a tough one. They probably played better and lost the game this
01:10year because they didn't have to do a lot once they went in front to win the game and
01:14we just got worse and worse as the game went on with our... second half was just a non-event
01:20and it's disappointing because the lads have been good in recent weeks but that was a shadow
01:24of what we've shown as a team so credit to them, they took advantage of it and they coasted
01:31to a win, had a good old jolly up here, took their keeper off with three minutes left and
01:35had a right old, you know, a good time which they're entitled to do.
01:40Yeah so from our point of view I can't look at... I thought there was a couple of... two
01:43players maybe stood out for me in terms of what they did. Charlie I thought went in there
01:48and gave a good account of himself and I thought David did alright to be fair, I don't think
01:52he gave the ball away a lot, maybe could have done more with it but everyone else who have
01:58been with us for the last few weeks were terrible, especially defensively.
02:03Yeah, obviously I guess hard to put a finger on why after we've saved the last five games
02:09that we've been a lot better than that obviously.
02:12I don't think we've played, we've just said it in there, I don't think we've played a
02:15team who were that good if I'm honest and we haven't got anything out of it. So that
02:19says a little bit about us as a group but if I look back I don't think Westfield deserved
02:24anything out of the game, I don't think they were particularly good on the day.
02:28Rayners Lane, Harabura, Leatherhead Saturday and Hazen Yeddin, none of them... I don't
02:35know if we played really well now because we definitely didn't play well today and I
02:39don't know if they were really, really good or whether they just took advantage of a team
02:43they were up against who just rolled over and didn't do a lot.
02:47I mean obviously they are having a very good season up in the play-offs so I would suggest
02:50that they are a good team.
02:51Yeah, they're a confident group and they know what they're doing and they do everything
02:56right to be honest. Our boys couldn't work out even being told if you've got someone
03:02up your back you don't play it to them, spin it in behind. But when we did spin it in behind
03:06we didn't take advantage anyway.
03:09Yeah, there were those two good chances at 0-0 but obviously Finn puts one wide and so
03:14it didn't quite work the keeper. And then the first goal at 1-0 at 40 and then the second
03:22really violent half-time.
03:23Listen, the first goal was a good move from their point of view but we're looking at going
03:26why are you not right up him, why are you not tight and they're all the little things
03:29that make a difference. It's a good finish because Ben's got that and he's played a good
03:32level of football so when he gets that opportunity he's not missing where we're missing.
03:38The second goal, Eden took an age on the ball, should have just kicked it down the pitch.
03:42Took ages, took ages, took ages and they end up scoring from that really.
03:49So yeah, they could have scored more second half if we're honest. Could have been worse
03:55than it was. They put some good balls across the box, hit the post I think, didn't they?
04:00Yeah, they did, yeah.
04:02So yeah, could have been worse but at the end of the day it's three points and they
04:07look like they need the points because of where they are and we look like a team that
04:12just don't accept that we're in a relegation battle and we need points. But like I say,
04:17it's whether the group can respond now because that's the key thing. From five performances
04:25where we thought we were good enough to get something, today we definitely didn't deserve
04:29anything.
04:31And a very quick turnaround now obviously, same for everyone in the league, obviously
04:34playing today and Saturday but I guess you'll just see before Farnham on Saturday, you'll
04:39obviously decide in your mind what you want to do but you'll sort of see how everyone
04:42pulls out.
04:43Listen, it's another really tough game where on paper we ain't expected to win but I want
04:48to see something out of the team. We've been excited by the last few weeks, I thought we'd
04:54looked at danger and we should be getting things out of the game, looking like we can
04:58compete at a level but today it didn't look like that was the case. It looked like a team
05:04destined for relegation, playing a team probably looking to get in the play-off and looking
05:09to get promoted. So yeah, tough one.
