00:00What did you make of that?
00:02It's difficult, isn't it?
00:04They've hit a wonder goal to get them back into it
00:06but after that they
00:08looked like they handled the ball
00:10better than us after that
00:12and it was a bit worrying.
00:14You could see us ending up losing it
00:16but up till then
00:18I thought we were the better team.
00:22We recycled the ball
00:24better as the first half
00:26went on and we were
00:28pressing in the second half
00:30but we just couldn't
00:32get another goal and then we got hit by that
00:34wonder goal, didn't we?
00:36It's a bit twitchy at the moment, it feels like they're just on edge a little bit
00:38a bit nervous. Yeah, I mean they're going to feel the pressure a bit
00:40aren't they? Being that far ahead
00:42brings its own pressure
00:44and we've got a bunch of young lads
00:46in the main. I think he tended
00:48to try and put the older heads in today
00:50to try and settle that.
00:52What did you make of that?
00:54Disappointed.
00:56We were talking to the Gillingham fans in the locker
00:58weren't we earlier and they said we'll either beat you
01:001-0, smash and grab
01:02or you'll do us 6. That's the team
01:04we were up against tonight.
01:06That's all we could manage.
01:08They were hurting when the Gillingham obviously showed a bit of
01:10fire in that second half. It could have been a lot worse in the end.
01:12What did they say?
01:14It could have been a lot worse, couldn't it?
01:16To be fair, every time the ball went in our box
01:18I'm twitching
01:20I have a personal problem with Simke
01:22I'm Simke so I'm sorry
01:24I just don't think he's the answer
01:26and I think he's been
01:28coseted, is that the right word?
01:30Protected by how good
01:32our defenders were at the beginning
01:34of the season, first half of the season
01:36I think we're now finding out he's not quite
01:38the finished article. That's my view on it.
01:40TJ obviously had that great chance at the end as well
01:42and that was a big moment wasn't it?
01:44I don't blame him because he's
01:46getting his chance at the end
01:48and in my opinion he should have had more games
01:50than this. That's just my opinion.
01:52But to me, to be
01:54second, third behind some of the
01:56so-called strikers that
01:58have been in front of him, I'd be
02:00disappointed if I was him.
02:02You need to be able to deal with
02:04these sort of periods. There was a
02:06little bit of booing at the end which I thought was
02:08ridiculous given what this team's done.
02:10I think everyone needs to stick
02:12with the team. We go again
02:14on Saturday and try and get the win.
02:16Once that first win comes and we remind
02:18ourselves how we can
02:20win games, then I think we'll be fine.
02:22It's all about getting that win
02:24under the belt as quickly as possible.
02:26I think it's an eight-point gap between
02:28first and fourth now. Fourth is obviously
02:30what you've got to look at as well. Do you still
02:32feel very confident it'll go up this year?
02:34Yes.
02:36I'll back this team to do that.
02:38But we do need to get that first win
02:40as quickly as possible. It's not
02:42going to be the walk in the park that everyone
02:44thought it was.
02:46It very rarely is.
02:48The season I remember is
02:50when Forest Green had a
02:52similar lead
02:54right at the top, got dragged back into it
02:56and then ultimately went on to win the league.
02:58Only just.
03:00Maybe we'll do the same here.
03:02We do just need to turn it round.
03:04I think the guys need to relax a bit
03:06and it'll come.
03:08I really would. In essence
03:10he's gone for a couple
03:12of chances tonight which are outrageous.
03:14That's what it's going to take.
03:16No winning five.
03:18Starting to get a little bit nervous or are you still confident?
03:20It's definitely a confidence thing.
03:22I've just said to my pal here,
03:24that's on Sadler. You've got to get into their heads
03:26and get them back to where they were.
03:28We need the confidence back.
03:30Top man.
