00:01Josh, just a couple of days out now from Wembley in the FA Trophy final.

00:04Obviously, he signed off here in the league on Monday with a good win against the Oval.

00:07Presumably now, it's been a good week of training and everyone's ready to go.

00:11Yeah, a really good week of training.

00:13Good session this morning and another one I see tomorrow.

00:18And then we head up there.

00:19So, yeah, obviously positive.

00:21It's positive as you could be right now.

00:23I think it's one of them.

00:25You've probably got to control it a little bit and take it in and take your time.

00:30You know, don't get too excited.

00:32I think we're going to go see Wembley tomorrow.

00:33So, that will be nice for the lads to kind of go out and get a little feel for everything.

00:37And, yeah, just excited, mate.

00:39It's obviously a nice bit of build-up now.

00:42So, we're all excited.

00:43Yeah, I mean, obviously, it's home of football, isn't it?

00:45It's every player's dream to play there, really, isn't it?

00:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:48Yeah, it will be, obviously, it'll be nice to be on a really good pitch.

00:53Obviously, 20,000 shop fans near enough come in.

00:55So, unbelievable support.

00:57And, yeah, listen, let's hope we send them home happy.

01:02Yeah, I mean, to walk out and see that sort of sea of red and blue of nearly 20,000,

01:05that's going to be a real sight, isn't it, on Sunday?

01:08Yeah, it will be.

01:08It will be.

01:09Even, you know, when you walk out here, like most games, you know,

01:12you hear when we go over to do our quick feet stuff and, you know,

01:16run over and clap the east bank and clap around the ground, you know,

01:19the noise is great.

01:21So, I can imagine what it's going to be like with 20,000 of them.

01:24So, yeah, just very excited to experience it, for sure.

01:29And that sort of chance to look around tomorrow,

01:31that's a good chance just to get acclimatised before Sunday, really, isn't it?

01:35Just sort of take everything in.

01:36Yeah, yeah.

01:37As you say, it's just like, listen, you don't know how some people will react to it.

01:40So, it'll be nice to, you know, not just go straight into it on the Sunday.

01:45Obviously, have that bit of time there tomorrow, have a little walk around

01:47and, yeah, let the lads have a little feel for it and, yeah, get them excited.

01:53And you've had, obviously, a great season yourself.

01:56Obviously, you won a few awards and you must be feeling full of confidence

01:58and just sort of looking forward to it, really.

02:00Yeah, always full of confidence, to be fair.

02:02I never don't feel confident in myself, in my team.

02:07And, you know, it's been a really good season for me, personally.

02:10I think, I still think I can do a lot more.

02:12I think I can still hit new heights.

02:14So, obviously, hoping next season that I can do that.

02:17But, you know, it's one game.

02:18Listen, it's one more game and a game to make history for this football club.

02:22So, listen, playing my part will be the least I can do.

02:26And, listen, it won't, like I said, I've said it previous,

02:29it won't just be about me, it's about everyone.

02:31The whole team are important.

02:33You know, whoever scores the goals, whoever does whatever,

02:36it's about everybody and it's not just an individual.

02:41But, like I said, just excited to go out and show what I can do on a stage like that.

02:45And the team have already sort of made history for the club.

02:48You know, 99 years, football and all the shots, first team to get there.

02:51So, it's already history, isn't it?

02:53And so, if you can take that next step, it's even more history, isn't it?

02:56Well, it is history for sure, but it will be even better if we win.

02:59We're not going there not to win, so we've got a job to do.

03:04But all I'd say is, as long as all the Shots fans enjoy themselves,

03:08I hope everyone enjoys themselves.

03:10Don't get too nervous or don't be nervous about the game.

03:12It's up to us to kind of go out and perform.

03:15You lot, just enjoy yourself.

03:17And, yeah, hopefully we can all enjoy it with you after.

03:21Yeah, and I'd say, obviously, you'll be concentrating on your performance

03:23and you're obviously fully respected Spenny Moore.

03:26We've had a great run and knocked out the likes of Rochdale and Sun and Boston,

03:29showing what they can do.

03:30Yeah, I just said it there.

03:33I hope no one's thinking it's going to be an easy game

03:35because, believe me, it won't.

03:37I played against them personally a few years ago

03:40and they're a very good side.

03:42Not much different to what they were like when I played them.

03:45We watched them today.

03:46We've done some analysis.

03:46And also, you know, as team players,

03:50we're not underestimating them at all

03:51and they deserve to be where they are.

03:54And, you know, congratulations to them

03:55because they've done amazing to get there.

03:58But then, ultimately, we need to go and put our quality onto them

04:01and see how they can deal with it.

04:03And just, yeah, presumably the lads are just all sort of, you know,

04:06feeling great and just really ready to go now.

04:09Yeah, everyone's feeling good.

04:10I think, obviously, as everyone will know,

04:13we've got lots and lots of injuries, which is tough.

04:15So we need to make sure the boys that are fit

04:18need to make sure that them lads feel a part of it as well

04:20because it is a team thing

04:22and there's a lot of players that are injured right now

04:24that have played their part in the build-up to get to here.

04:26So, yeah, we need to make sure everyone's connected,

04:30everyone's together.

04:31And, yeah, let's hope we can have a good day.
