00:00Paul, Klopp's first ever game at Step 3 in a deserved opening day 1-0 win against Hungerford.
00:07Dominant in territory and possession.
00:10Is there to be patient there and then get the goal and three points?
00:14Yeah, definitely.
00:15Yeah, like you said, I think everything's like spot on.
00:18You know, you step up in level, you know, you thought they might be a bit more about them going forward.
00:23But again, it's pretty much the same as last year,
00:26a year before they sat here and tried to frustrate us.
00:29And yeah, they did that for large parts of the game.
00:32But yeah, a bit of quality always shines through and Bobby produced that.
00:36Yeah, as you say, sort of coming up the level, you know, first time for the club at this level.
00:39And it is a compliment really, isn't it?
00:41That they've come here and sort of sat back like that and tried to frustrate and try to play properly.
00:46Yeah, it's a massive compliment.
00:47You know, they're a good side, you know, they've been a big side.
00:49You know, only relegated a couple of years ago a solid side in this division.
00:52So yeah, massive compliment.
00:54But, you know, you can see the difference straight away, the physicality of the game.
00:59And I thought we come through that really well.
01:01Yeah, and obviously, you know, first game at the level, to get those three points on the board.
01:05And, well, not that Zach gets to do anything at all, but a clean sheet and three points.
01:09It's a perfect start, isn't it?
01:10It's a perfect start.
01:11Yeah, it's, you know, first game's always that one.
01:14You just want to get points on the board.
01:17And, yeah, I thought, you know, we just left off, you know, from where we finished last year.
01:22We dominated the ball.
01:23We was good on the ball.
01:24The boys were confident.
01:25And, yeah, long might continue.
01:27Obviously, it is early days in the season, but you must obviously feel, you know, you're carrying on the momentum at the moment and just keep rolling with that at the moment.
01:33Yeah, definitely, you know, momentum's on our side.
01:35But, again, you know, we banged on the band last year.
01:39It's a squad game.
01:40But, yeah, no, it's a squad game.
01:42And, you know, again, today, the bench, you know, proved really good.
01:47Owen and Liv coming on, you know, they caused them problems.
01:50Yeah, those sort of fresh legs were really sort of important, weren't they?
01:53Just to give something different, weren't they?
01:55Yeah, I think, you know, we got the timings right on the subs.
01:58And, yeah, they all played their part.
02:00You know, I think the boys coming off were a little bit frustrated.
02:02We, you know, didn't really get too many opportunities.
02:05But, you know, they put a shift in and, you know, they ground them down to get out of them.
02:09Half-time, nil-nil, as you say, you know, dominating the possession and territory.
02:13What was the message? Just to keep going?
02:15Yeah, you know, just trying, you know, we were on to try and make the pitch big and, you know, push full-backs on.
02:21But the way they sat in with five, you know, we just adjusted a little bit and got our full-backs to drop a little bit deeper
02:27just to try and create a little bit more space for Bob and Daz in the pockets.
02:31And it slowly works and it works, you know.
02:33You see Bob picking the ball up in the pocket on the right hand side,
02:36running across the pitch and bending one in.
02:38Yeah, I mean, yeah.
02:39Bob's obviously played at step one and that was a real sort of moment of quality there for the goal, wasn't it?
02:43Where he's cut in and finish it.
02:44It was, yeah.
02:45He's been good since he's come in, Bob.
02:46But you can see, you just see the difference, you know.
02:49The little, the little switch clicks in the head and, you know, he's serious now.
02:52And, yeah, you see all his colleagues.
02:54Yeah, and Hungerford never, you know, they went behind but then they never created anything after that to get an equaliser, did they?
03:01It was comfortable?
03:02No, not really.
03:03You know, a few moments where, you know, they're just big clubs and, you know, putting the ball forward.
03:07You never know one might drop but, you know, I thought the boys defended, like, excellently.
03:11And I thought Matt McKenzie, you know, was excellent in yesterday.
03:14And for the fans, you know, first game at this level, sun's shining, three points, over 800 here.
03:19That's a good day around.
03:20Yeah, it's a great day, you know, you can get the first game at home.
03:23And that attendance is great.
03:25You know, again, you know, hopefully the pros are at home.
03:28They keep supporting them by making it.
03:30It's a great, it's a good day.
03:32So, you can have a start with a couple of great games now.
03:34Obviously, start with the gospel on Wednesday.
03:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:37Every game's definitely going to sleep.
03:39You know, there's not a great deal amongst them.
03:42You know, there might be a couple of six or seven necessarily equal.
03:46But again, you know, we started today at home for one of the most difficult sides in the league.
03:51And the gospel will be no different, you know.
03:53It's a difficult place to go.
03:54It's a difficult place to go.
03:55Obviously, plenty of confidence to take into that and attack it.
03:59Yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
04:00You know, I think we've got another body back on Wednesday.
04:03So, yeah, difficult decisions to make.
