Porthmadog manager Chris Jones gives verdict on the 5-0 win at St Asaph

Transcript

00:00Could well have been a tricky game against Zindassa today, but a 5-0 win is resounding

00:12at the end, even though both sides finished with 10 players.

00:17Much needed win, obviously it's been a difficult six weeks to say the least, but I thought

00:22it was a good start to the game, a foothold in it, and then when they went on to 10 men

00:27I think we got worse for about 10-15 minutes while we were trying to work out how to go

00:31about it, but towards the end of the half we took control again and it was a good game

00:34for confidence, you could see the problems that we've had today in the life of the lads

00:39a little bit, but you could see towards the end and in the second half in particular the

00:43confidence was starting to come back to them, so we take this result now and try and build

00:47on it in the coming weeks.

00:48Because that's the first goals we've scored since the Llangenni away game, which is a

00:52bit of a concern actually, isn't it?

00:55I'm not one to make excuses normally, but we have had a lot of injuries in one area

01:00of the pitch, I wouldn't mind if all of our injuries were spread out, because every club

01:04has injuries and you can sort of look after it, but all of our injuries have been in the

01:07final third, so Brookie and Reece have had to take the full workload and sort of play

01:11every minute and we've not had the centre forward for weeks, so it's been tough in front

01:15of goal, but seeing Kavanagh get off the mark today, that's his first goal back at the club,

01:20Tom's done 30 minutes on Tuesday, 60 minutes today, Jamie Jones is pretty much fully back

01:25fit now, so John Littlemore, Jack Gibney are a week or two away maximum, so it's looking

01:30positive again in the final third.

01:32Very positive and big, big games coming up, games that need to be won if there's any assault

01:38on the top by the end of the season.

01:40Yeah, look we've just got to take it game by game, we can't be looking at permutations

01:44and what happens if this result happens or anything like that, we've just got to look

01:47after ourselves.

01:48Obviously it's been a difficult period, I'd like to think we've come out the other side

01:52of it now and we just started the season after 11 games with 10 wins and one draw, obviously

01:58there's 11 games to go now, if we go and have a similar run and look after ourselves instead

02:02of looking at other things, then we will go close.

02:05Great Chris, good afternoon, diolch yn fawr.

02:07Diolch yn fawr, cheers.
