00:00Dave, an impressive 2-1 win against Moneyfield, it's continued to good form at 10 points from the last 12, must be really happy.
00:07Yeah, yeah, and added to that a cup game which sort of kicks it all off actually against Fleet in the Audershot Senior.
00:12Yeah, really gritty performance today, I think the kind of conditions didn't really allow us to play much football.
00:20We've played some good football lately, certainly Tuesday night at Leatherhead.
00:23But yeah, we showed another side to us today as well, two well-worked goals.
00:30Really, really pleased for Tom Dryer to get off the mark with us after coming really close in the last couple of weeks.
00:39And yeah, the winning goals, it's a fantastic goal, fantastic goal, really pleased.
00:46Yeah, Tom's obviously come back from injury, hasn't he?
00:49Yeah.
00:50Yeah, so it was a nice move as well before that and he finished it off well.
00:54Yeah, he's done ever so well.
00:56Obviously, difficult conditions today and they've been in good form as well, Moneyfield, so it's a real good result.
01:03Yeah, I think 10 wins from 12 before today.
01:05So, yeah, form, side and division, really, they gave us a real turning over down there.
01:14Lots of energy, lots of bite, lots of physicality and yeah, we had to try and outdo that today in order to win the game.
01:27Yeah, so you would have been fully well up before the game and obviously stepped up really in that regard.
01:31Yeah, absolutely.
01:34They obviously had the early penalty and Lewis has made the save.
01:38Yeah.
01:39But then after 20 minutes onwards, you really took control from that point, really, didn't you?
01:43Yeah, and I think we were good for a 1-0.
01:48I think we should put maybe another one.
01:51Gali's done so well.
01:53Like I said at half-time, I'm running out of superlatives for him.
01:58He's done so, so well and he deserves every bit of luck that he gets.
02:03Fantastic lads, a lot of great lads and a good keeper, a really good keeper.
02:08And he's showing that he's well suited to this level.
02:12Yeah, I'll be honest with you, I thought the penalty was harsh.
02:17Have a look back at that on the video later on tomorrow.
02:22But yeah, there's nothing we can do about it now and luckily we got a let off with that one.
02:27Yeah, so then get yourselves in front with a nice goal and a 1-0 at half-time, playing well.
02:32What was the message at half-time going into that second half?
02:35When the side's down against you and then you come in at the break, there's always going to be a reaction.
02:41And we had to up our levels because even though we'd created a few openings,
02:50I don't think we'd worked quite as hard as we have done in recent weeks.
02:54So yeah, we had to do that.
02:57If we didn't do that, then we were going to get nothing from the game.
03:01So yeah, and I think we did.
03:04I think we were very, very resolute.
03:06I think we defended ever so well.
03:10Dylan Merchant was fantastic.
03:14Quincy did really well on his return to the side.
03:17And Kyle Bailey on his second debut for the club.
03:20Really good as well.
03:22And Beeds and Billy in their positions as well.
03:26Yeah, really good all round.
03:28You must have been delighted with the reaction to the equaliser,
03:31because only a few minutes later, get back in front from the free-kick.
03:34Yeah, I think as I've said a couple of times, we stumbled across Louis a few weeks ago
03:39in terms of his dead-ball delivery.
03:41Great ball in, Kyle header across.
03:45And the desire for Billy, and Caleb was behind him as well,
03:50for those two to get on the end of that.
03:52Yeah, that's what you want.
03:54You show desire like that, you stand a really good chance of winning games.
03:57And then once you got back in front then,
04:00they didn't really, apart from they only had the one against the post in stoppage time,
04:04that was it really.
04:06Yeah, a bit of a scare from where I was stood in the dugout.
04:09You're thinking, that's close.
04:11And obviously it was close.
04:14Yeah, I think they put us under a lot of pressure.
04:18I felt we should have done a little bit better going forwards.
04:25I wouldn't say we saw the game out comfortably,
04:27but we definitely did enough.
04:29Yeah, maybe a bit more composure going forwards when you had the chance,
04:32but obviously you saw the game out well.
04:35And as you say, really solid throughout.
04:38It's hard to pick a man of the match today,
04:41other performances across the team today really.
04:45Yeah, I would agree.
04:47I think you'd probably have to pick someone across the back line really,
04:52or Gally.
04:54But yeah, I'll probably go.
04:59Dylan or Billy really.
05:01I'll let the manager choose who he wants,
05:04but they were one of those two for me.
05:07Showing that solid side, picking up the three points,
05:10continuing in good form.
05:11It must be a real good feeling in that changing room afterwards.
05:15Yeah, we noticed it beforehand.
05:17Crosser said to me before in the warm-up,
05:19that it's amazing what a couple of wins can do.
05:22Yeah, exactly that.
05:23It's certainly lifted everybody.
05:27It's Manu's birthday tomorrow as well,
05:29so he always brings a smile.
05:33And he brought some doughnuts as well today,
05:36which is a nice celebratory treat.
05:39Not that I need them.
05:41And yeah, good form.
05:43Obviously, I presume you're going to keep taking it game by game.
05:46But yeah, just chipping away maybe?
05:49Yeah, Met Police Tuesday night.
05:51Yeah, that'll be a difficult game again.
05:53And yeah, we've got to do the same again.
05:56But hopefully have a couple of people back,
05:59which will help to bolster the squad,
06:01because we're a little bit light today.
06:03But yeah, the importance of having a squad is that everybody stays fit.
06:10If everybody does that, then we're good.
