00:00Yes, the foundation that got us a result today was everything we need to stand for as a team,
00:07really. Grit, determination, battling spirit to a man, really. We showed every bit of that
00:13today and that ultimately was the reason we come and get the three points.
00:16When you got the chance in the first half, clinical, great finish from Luke?
00:19Yes, brilliant finish. Not many can go and run 60, 70 yards up the pitch at full pace
00:26and have the calmness to execute the finish like he did. Delighted for him, really.
00:31It was brilliant in his moments there as well.
00:34How did you compare the two halves? The lead looked threatening in the first half,
00:37second half, collapsed the ball but didn't create much?
00:39Yes, first half I thought we started the game pretty well, really.
00:43Both teams obviously have a massive chance early on from a turnover from us.
00:47Fortunately enough, the boy misses. We then nudge it away.
00:51We have a couple of little half chances. Joe Warrer from a set play,
00:54Hannibal, Hedder, we have little bits that I like.
00:58And it's unfair to say that at the back end of the first half they caused us some problems.
01:02We needed to fix that at half-time, certainly down on the left side,
01:05because there was a real overload on that side of the pitch.
01:08We needed to fix that and we did that.
01:10And again, the boys executed in the second half really.
01:14Yes, that was perfect.
