00:00Well, a comfortable 3-0 win against Sutton Common Rovers, all wrapped up in the first

00:05half there today, wasn't it?

00:06Yeah, it was.

00:07I think it could be the quickest one yet, this interview, because it was poor.

00:08It was a real poor game of football.

00:09Yeah, I mean, obviously, League One, I mean, three points, which obviously you won, I guess,

00:10you know, with standards, I guess you do want a bit more, I guess, don't you?

00:11Yeah, it's difficult.

00:12You know, the Hydes from the other night, and obviously the boys were out tonight celebrating.

00:13I mean, it's difficult.

00:14I mean, obviously, League One, I mean, three points, which obviously you won, I guess,

00:15you know, with standards, I guess, you do want a bit more, I guess, don't you?

00:16Yeah, it's difficult.

00:17You know, the Hydes from the other night, and obviously the boys were out tonight celebrating.

00:29But yeah, it's always difficult to bounce back like that, but we've done it time and

00:34time again, and yeah, disappointed with them today.

00:35You know, the good moments were the goals, and barring that, there was very little in

00:36the game, I'd call it.

00:37Would you say at half-time, 3-0 up, but, yeah, what were your thoughts on that first half?

00:38Yeah, I mean, obviously, League One, I mean, three points, which obviously you won, I guess,

00:39you know, with standards, I guess, you do want a bit more, I guess, don't you?

00:40Yeah, it's difficult.

00:41You know, the Hydes from the other night, and obviously, the boys were out tonight celebrating.

00:42But yeah, it's always difficult to bounce back like that, but we've done it time and

00:43time again, and yeah, disappointed with them today, I guess.

00:44Would you say at half-time, 3-0 up, but, yeah, what were your thoughts on that first half?

00:51Yeah, obviously, League One, I mean, three points, which obviously you won, I guess,

00:58you do want a bit more, I guess.

00:59But yeah, obviously, League One, I mean, three points, which obviously you won, I guess,

01:07you do want a bit more, I guess, down the line.

01:08So, yeah.

01:09League one, game one, but obviously you want more. Is it your standards?

01:14Yeah, especially with the way we've been. With what we've achieved this year and the way we've played this year.

01:19We were off it for large parts of it. Too many players off having a bad day.

01:25These things do happen, I get that, especially after the highs.

01:29But yeah, just a little bit disappointed on some of the quality of it.

01:33And obviously not tested by the opposition as well.

01:36But again, it comes back to standards, doesn't it? Even if the opposition aren't...

01:40Yeah, it does. They weren't good. They were on the poor side.

01:45They hid it behind that and offered very little.

01:48Mostly we made it a little bit scrappy, but yeah, there's not much to talk about on this one.

01:55Obviously you made the five subs, you keep managing people.

02:00And Owen Dean back from injury, so at least he's got a few minutes to pick it up.

02:04Yeah, he's got him on the pitch. Again, maybe he's protecting it a little bit, a little bit unsure.

02:08He wasn't quite himself. I think he had one chance, slightly dragged it wide.

02:13But yeah, he's back up and running now.

02:16We've got a couple of tough games coming up, ones we can affect the player situation.

02:21And yeah, I've got one a lot more.

02:23Yeah, and obviously that can affect who goes up next year, can't it?

02:27Yeah, definitely. And it's only right that we continue doing our job.

02:31And I want to do a job where we know two good sides that we face and we want maximum points off them.

02:37Obviously targets of 100 points, 93 points now with five games to go.

02:41So, you know, still got to keep plugging away at that, presumably.

02:44Yeah, plugging away at that, plus 100 goals.

02:46You know, we want to try and get as close as we can to that.

02:48And it's a real missed opportunity today because there could have been a lot of goals out there today.

02:53Yeah, I mean, when it was 3-0 just after half an hour, it felt like, you know,

02:58if the intensity was there, it could have potentially been a cricket score, couldn't it?

03:01It could have done, yeah. Yeah, exactly that.

03:03You know, like I say, it's a missed opportunity to really back some goals up.

03:07But, you know, these things happen and, yeah, we're happy we've got three points at the end of the day

03:12and we move on and enjoy tonight.

03:14Obviously you've got, you know, just three weeks now to Saturday and a tough test at Hazen.

03:19It was a real good game here, a real competitive game when you won that.

03:22It is, yeah, it was. And it's going to be over there as well.

03:25You know, they're fighting for a playoff spot and I think they're just outside it.

03:28So, yeah, it's all to play for over there. We'll have the week off.

03:31We won't train and we'll come fresh set the next Saturday.

03:35And obviously winning the league on Tuesday night, I guess you'd have been able to celebrate a little bit.

03:38But being a Saturday, I guess today you can sort of, you know, have a real sort of celebration.

03:43Yeah, definitely. You know, we had a few afterwards in the clubhouse.

03:46But, yeah, tonight's the night that we're going to celebrate every time.

03:51And obviously for the fans, the next home game will be the trophy match, which they're going to see soon.

03:54Yeah, you know, a great turnout today. Again, you know, we're asking, you know, if they can turn out a trophy there.

03:59Just top it off for the boys, you know, when they've achieved this season.

04:02And, yeah, hopefully the weather's warm and it's a good game of football.
