00:00 1-0 win against Jersey tonight, does that feel like a really big step towards the title?
00:07 Yeah, it's a good way to win the game. It looked like it was going to be one goal in
00:13 the game. I always try to beat us, I don't think they really offered too much going forward.
00:19 I think they'll say the same, we didn't really play too much, we just kept pushing and pushing
00:23 and we got our rewards.
00:26 They seemed to come here and look to be well organised without posing that much of a threat
00:30 and you seemed to really grow into it and felt like the goal was coming.
00:34 Yeah, they were on my side, they've been together since they've been in the combine counties
00:39 I think, a lot of them players. They all know each other really well, it makes a difference
00:45 when you've been together for so long and that showed with them. I felt we were comfortable,
00:51 they took us to the wild, fair credit to them. We got over the line.
00:56 What did you say at half time, just keep going?
00:58 Yeah, it was just, the boys want to play football and get on the ball but sometimes that's not
01:05 always the way. We wanted to target the left back, we thought that was an area we could
01:09 target and that's what we asked for, try and put it on the left back as much as we can.
01:15 But it seemed to open up the other way, down the right hand side and fortunate for us it
01:20 was the left back in the end that won the game.
01:22 In terms of the penalty?
01:23 In terms of the penalty and the red cards, yeah, it panned out.
01:28 Good run from Owen Dean there.
01:29 Yeah, he just goes and goes Owen, he gets a little bit frustrated at times but one thing
01:35 he does is he never shirks away and he got his rewards tonight, he worked hard tonight.
01:41 There are only a couple of minutes left, so pressure penalty for Harry but he stayed composed.
01:45 Yeah, that's what Cook's like, he likes those moments, he enjoys them and we're lucky we
01:50 got him.
01:51 Kytana sent off quite late on for a sort of, I think it was for an off the ball shove
01:57 is what the refs said, thoughts on that?
01:59 Well, I can't say too much because Twitter refs have come out in full, but it's a poor
02:06 decision. Yeah, it is what it is.
02:10 But then obviously with the 10 men, that didn't affect you because then a couple of minutes
02:13 later you get the penalty and the goal.
02:15 Yeah, we stayed exactly the same shape in what we're doing and I thought the boys were
02:19 brave when we went down to 10. We kept pushing and they looked like the team would 10. Yeah,
02:25 it paid off, we got our goal.
02:27 So, 24 wins now, how's the dressing room after that? Just another win or do you feel a bit
02:33 more special tonight?
02:34 Yeah, it's another one we took off, it's a little bit more upbeat now I suppose. We're
02:39 not playing Saturday in terms of where they are in the league. Yeah, it's a good place
02:45 in there.
02:46 Thoughts now on tooting, obviously weather permitting?
02:49 Weather permitting, yeah, it doesn't look too great does it? The pitch held out tonight,
02:53 not the greatest in a certain area. But yeah, it's a little bit frustrating in a few days
02:58 I think.
02:59 But obviously big three points tonight though to take in the pocket.
03:02 Yeah, so we'll take that tonight and we'll see when we play next.
