00:00 Hi Karl, we've had a narrow defeat today against Westbury but some positive moments in there
00:06 too, how did you see it going?
00:12 Positive moments, just lacked quality in the final third, not going to hide from that,
00:19 I'm not going to hide from doing it in the Duel either because I think people need to
00:24 know it is a rebuild and you can clearly see tonight we just lacked that, we've got players
00:32 in and out, we're just lacking that little bit of quality in the final third.
00:37 Defensively we did okay tonight but then like I said on another day they could probably
00:43 be 3 or 4 if it weren't for our keeper, I think Frankie's had 3 or 4 great saves from
00:48 what I can remember but yet again it was just lacklustre in the final third.
00:54 We'll be in training Thursday and it will be a fight now all the way to the end of the
01:00 season so we have got to stick together, I still believe in that we'll still be in this
01:04 league so I'm not going to hide from that and I'm not going to certainly hide the fact
01:09 that I've got a job to do and questions will be asked of me but at the end of the day like
01:15 I said the boys will come through this and they will learn, especially the ones that
01:21 have just come in, they will learn from this because like I said I don't think they've
01:24 ever been in a relegation scrap or on a losing streak so players are learning on the trade
01:31 but like I said we've got good games coming now, thick and fast, obviously Bishops Cleave
01:37 on Saturday on the Astro so that will definitely be on but like I said the first thing is first
01:42 is getting to training on Thursday, work on a few things because like I said the final
01:46 third tonight was in my opinion not good enough from the standards I set so like I said it's
01:54 a tough one to take again because I thought we were turning the corner but like I said
02:01 with this group and the fact that the inexperience of it all I think that's the reason why we're
02:09 a little bit mishit going forward sometimes. Like I said it was nice for me to be on the
02:16 pitch obviously being the most experienced one but just didn't get the ball to me enough,
02:21 didn't slide it in the channel enough and like I said after the game I explained that
02:26 in there, I said at the end of the day if you want to be at this level and kick on to
02:30 go up the levels you have to have quality in the final third, whether that's a five
02:35 yard pass, whether that's a little trick and then a cross on the box it has to be better
02:39 and you have to be brave on it. So they learn, we're learning as a group and I said I'm still
02:45 believing in this group so we'll kick on to Thursday and Saturday and then we'll do that,
02:51 we'll go again.
02:52 There's still plenty of games to go, so starting with Bishops' Cleve on Saturday.
02:56 Like I said it's 10 cup finals, I think it's 11 cup finals so like I said there's 11 cup
03:02 finals, plenty, we've got to play Exmouth, we've got to play Bashley again, we've got
03:06 to play Malvern, teams in a reindeer so like I said Bishops' Cleve, be nice for the lads
03:11 as well on Astro, because the pitch did play heavy tonight, cut up a bit but I'm not going
03:17 to blame the pitch because like I said both teams have got to play the pitch and like
03:21 I said don't take it away from Westbury, they were, like I said the game was a bit cagey
03:25 and like I said we had good spells where we camped them in and just weren't good enough
03:29 in the final third, they probably had three or four where our keeper makes worldly saves
03:34 so like I said the positives there, our keepers yet again probably the match winner for us
03:41 in regards to keeping us in the game but we're not doing enough there.
03:44 So back to the drawing board for Thursday, we'll work on it, we'll stick together and
03:50 like I said it's 11 cup finals so we'll still keep believing and then we'll look at it again.
03:57 OK, we look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
03:58 Cheers Tom.
