00:00Yeah, it was a bit of a scrappy game, the pitching helped, it was sticky at times, but

00:03the boys battled well and did what we had to do and showed our quality in the final

00:07third with two goals, we probably could have had a few more and a few separate breakaways.

00:11Skipper's unbelievable, he leads by example, doesn't he? He's just in the right place

00:15at the right time, he gives us so much, and then to give us goals as well, it's unbelievable.

00:20He's always given us a pedal step to fight from, so yeah, the early start helped us massively

00:29in this league, especially when you can get a goal in front, it's a big thing, it's very

00:34hard for teams to get back, they never come out at us, and the game probably suits us

00:38a bit more now because there's a bit more space everywhere.

00:40It's not only to be there at the right place at the right time, it's to execute as well,

00:43because I've been there a few times this season and I've missed from where he scored to 4

00:48or 5, so it's unbelievable what he does and what he brings to the team, as I say, it's

00:52not just his goals, his all-round package as a player, as a person around the training

00:56ground, in the dressing room, he's what a man, I can't speak high enough of him.

01:00I think we wanted more, obviously, I think we wanted to put the foot on the neck and

01:03re-put the pedal to the floor, I think for 30 minutes, 35 minutes we did that, and we

01:09tried, we were in the game, we were playing really well, and they had a spell probably

01:12the last 10 minutes of the first half, and we probably sat a little bit too deep, we

01:18spoke about it at half-time, and as I say, the pitch is sticky and not the best, so it

01:22made the game a bit scrappy at times, so it became a battle and sort of breaking away

01:26and showing a bit of quality, and as I say, a few moments we probably could have broke

01:30away and scored, but you're 2-0 up at that point, so you don't want to throw too many

01:34bodies forward as well, it's about being professional, like we've been all season.
