00:00The Black and the Red
00:30Bradley, for everybody at Sussex, congratulations on a brilliant win up here at Welling.
00:45These guys came down last season.
00:48That must have been a tough game for your boys.
00:50It was a really tough game.
00:51They were a good side.
00:53They were a good side.
00:54They were a really good management.
00:56We knew it was going to be an incredibly difficult game.
01:01The environment is one that I think our boys stepped up in.
01:06But like they say, goals change games.
01:09It was a case of one game I thought was going to be the big difference.
01:14Yeah, exactly.
01:15It looked that way.
01:16It just looked like a very tight game.
01:18Your defence played really well.
01:20I thought your goalkeeper was magnificent.
01:22He is magnificent.
01:26One-on-one.
01:27He makes some fantastic stops.
01:30And again, distribution-wise, I've got no issues.
01:34So, yeah, very happy with that.
01:37Defensively, we had a couple of injuries.
01:39So, it's definitely something for us that we have to look at and just make sure everyone's okay.
01:44But overall, yeah, it was important for us to get that clean sheet and do it in the way we did.
01:51I think it was really pleasing.
01:53Good.
01:53Good.
01:54Well, I think you guys are proud of Sussex tonight.
01:57Fantastic away win.
01:58You've had two on the trot now.
02:00I know we don't want to really get ahead of ourselves, but you guys are now sort of like in the top echelon of the Premier League.
02:09After three games, I mean, yeah, I don't think there's any worry of getting ahead of ourselves.
02:16It's, well, I mean, when the season's still in single figures, I don't think you need to even look at the table and think of that.
02:23It's more so about just getting performances together, feeling aligned as a team, feeling like what you're seeing is your principles or your framework being displayed.
02:37That's really it, I think, at this point.
02:39You know, it's good to get points on the board and it's vital to do that, but more than anything, it's seeing progress.
02:47Finally, Bradley, you're a Wave fan today with Magnificent.
02:51There was quite a few here today.
02:52They made a lot of noise.
02:53You must have been very pleased to have them here with you.
02:55Always, yeah, I think, yeah, Lewis fans, they, yeah, they travel with us really well and they're always loud and always positive.
03:06I can't really say, I can't talk to, to any highly, any more highly of them.
03:12I think they're, yeah, they're fantastic.
03:14So I've got a lot of love for Lewis fans.
03:18Good.
03:19Well, from everybody around, around Sussex, congratulations on today.
03:23I mean, you guys are flying high.
03:25I know it's very early in the season and we wish you all the luck in the next few games.
03:30I think you've got some home games to come, but enjoy that.
03:33Yeah, we will do, we will do.
03:34Yeah, this is a really, really tough game.
03:37Like I say, they're a very good team.
03:38So for us to get anything from today was important.
03:44And yeah, it's early days, so a long way to continue.
03:48Thank you very much.
03:49I've got Louis Rogers with me, the Lewis goalkeeper.
03:54Probably the hero today, clean sheet, 1-0 Lewis.
04:00Louis, how was that for you guys today?
04:02Yeah, no, it was a good game.
04:050-0 for a long spell and they had a decent spell sort of second half and pushed us back.
04:11But no, we just obviously kept believing and obviously managed to pull a goal.
04:16When, yeah, a 1-0 away day with a clean sheet, there's no better feeling really.
04:22I'm guessing the changing room must have been pretty special when you walked in there.
04:25Yeah, we're all like, we're rally squads, like sort of just getting to know each other still works.
04:30Yeah, it's a good vibe in there at the minute.
04:32Yeah, really enjoying it.
04:33Good.
04:35The winning goal came quite late and the fans here are pretty fantastic, aren't they?
04:43Yeah, they are.
04:43They went mental.
04:44Yeah, oh yeah.
04:45It's always, when you can score in front of your fans here, it's always, it's so much better.
04:50But yeah, they do us proud.
04:53Good.
04:55Lewis this year, I mean, they've been in this division about five or six years now.
04:58I'm sure there must be ambitions to make the next step.
05:03Could it be this season?
05:05Who knows?
05:05I mean, we're just going to take each game as it comes.
05:08We're not looking too far ahead.
05:09We're just going to sort of look at what's in front of us and just go into each game with a clear mind.
05:15And yeah, just try and get as many wins as we can.
05:18Well, congratulations.
05:19You are my man of the match.
05:20Thank you very much.
05:21I thought your distribution was fantastic for the whole match.
05:24You kept that clean sheet.
05:25I mean, everybody behind that goal was really appreciated.
05:29I brought a lot of good comments for you behind that goal.
05:33You should have a really good weekend.
05:35Thank you very much.
05:35Well done.
05:36Cheers.
