00:00Paul, 2-2 draw against Swandeen, thoughts on that game?
00:04Yeah, strange game.
00:07We felt we were as comfortable first half just passing it.
00:11Nothing really happened, it was a bit of a dead half.
00:14But yeah, it was one that we were as comfortable with.
00:16We got a goal and then we gave a sloppy goal away.
00:19So we equaled that up, yeah.
00:21There wasn't really much too much to talk about in the first half.
00:24So you got the goal through steps.
00:27So you got yourself ahead and looked pretty comfortable.
00:29It was just a ball over the top they scored from really, wasn't it?
00:32Yeah, just a ball over the top.
00:34We just made the wrong decision.
00:36We were treated to the goal line rather than go and see the ball out.
00:39That would have caused us no danger.
00:41But yeah, those things happen.
00:43We went in at half-time and we were confident and comfortable.
00:47But we had to make a couple of false changes at half-time.
00:50I think that showed in the second half.
00:52I thought we were poor second half.
00:54And most probably, maybe a little bit lucky to get away with a point.
00:57I think they looked like a team that was going to score.
00:59What was the message at half-time then?
01:01Obviously saying false changes.
01:03Nothing major.
01:05Just tidy up a little bit.
01:07Be a bit braver passing the ball forwards.
01:09And that was it.
01:11And stick to it.
01:13But we went way off that second half.
01:15We had no shape about us.
01:17We sort of done our own thing.
01:19Yeah, it was a real dire second half.
01:22I guess that's an obvious thing.
01:24It shows the importance of sticking to the plan.
01:26Yeah, sticking to the plan.
01:28We got by over the last three or four weeks.
01:31We've been alright.
01:34But I think it's starting to highlight now.
01:36Missing Daz and missing Jack Dean.
01:38Massive players as you keep playing.
01:41Punching the games out.
01:43It highlights it.
01:45Any news on the tour and returns for them?
01:47Yeah, maybe ten days for Jack Dean.
01:49Daz looked to be involved next Saturday.
01:51Obviously you did have Pat back today.
01:53And Max Meaton back as well.
01:55Good to have them back.
01:57Yeah, I think that showed first half.
01:59Distribution with Pat.
02:01And obviously Max giving us the out.
02:03But we had to take him off at half-time.
02:05Just to make sure he doesn't pull up again.
02:08That was a big miss in the second half.
02:11Yeah.
02:13Owen Dean driving into the box for the penalty.
02:15And then sticking it away.
02:18Yeah, we know he's got that in the locker.
02:21He's a young lad and it's a miss.
02:23It wasn't really going for him today.
02:25But he stuck to it and got his reward.
02:27With the run.
02:29Still top of the league though.
02:31Still in a very good position.
02:33We have a long way to go as well.
02:35It's one of them. It's football.
02:37It's reality football now.
02:39We're going to lose and draw games.
02:41It's how we react to certain situations.
02:43So yeah, we're in a good position.
02:45We haven't lost a game with top of the table after 12.
02:47So yeah.
02:49The boys coming back is going to be a welcome thing.
02:53Yeah, it's 29 points in 12 games.
02:55It's basically 2.5 points a game.
02:57Keep that up. It's going to be a very strong season.
03:00Yeah, we've just got to get through this little patch.
03:02Which we're doing.
03:04But we want to be better at how we do it.
03:08Quick turnaround now for Ashford on Tuesday?
03:11Tuesday, yeah.
03:13It's a tough game here.
03:15So we know it's going to be another difficult, fast, in-your-face game.
03:17Not the greatest pitch for us over in Govan.
03:19We seem to lose players over there.
03:21So yeah, it's just one we've got to dust ourselves down today.
03:24And go again on Tuesday.
03:26Big crowd today. Over 600.
03:28Obviously great to see that again.
03:30Yeah, the crowd's great.
03:32We're not playing at home.
03:34Just shame it's a bit of a dull affair today.
03:36But most weeks we give them something to cheer about.
03:38So yeah, it's just a little bit of an off day today.
03:40But yeah, great turnout.
