00:00Paul, stoppage time penalty from Great Evans to earn a one-all draw against

00:05Wimborne and maintain the unbeaten start to the season. Sort of got the reward

00:08there in the end, there with the equaliser. Yeah, it'd have been criminal if we didn't

00:12get anything today. You know, we're by far the better side. It's just wave after wave,

00:17you know, credit to Wimborne, the way they set up, you know, they're resilient and

00:21you know, they tried to break at times. It opened up from a couple of times when we're

00:24chasing it with 10 minutes to go. But yeah, overall, you know, we fully deserve that and more.

00:29Yeah, I mean, so, you know, Wimborne came, you know, they were well organised, but you know,

00:33in terms of like territory and possession and everything, you were dominant, weren't you?

00:36And it was just sort of, you had to keep going and then obviously it did come in the end.

00:40Yeah, especially, you know, after the chances we missed. The Keepers had a great game for them

00:46and it just felt like it's one of them games we're just never going to score even with the

00:49second penalty. You're thinking he's mostly going to save it, but yeah, we've got it and we've just

00:54run out of time to go and get that winner. Yeah, so yeah, if you got that equaliser maybe a little

00:58bit earlier, you know, you would have really had the momentum there to sort of, you know, get another,

01:02wouldn't you? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, another five minutes, you know, and there's a big chance

01:05for us, but yeah, we left it too late, but credit to the boys. Again, you know, they never say die

01:11and they got something out of the game. Yeah, Wimborne, you know, took the lead from a set play,

01:17from a corner, sort of second phase just fell for them. That was, they hadn't really created anything at

01:21all before that, hadn't they? No, you know, we should have been a couple up before that. I think

01:25it was their first, you know, real tackle getting in our half and yeah, you know, credit to them.

01:30They were quite good on set pieces today. Yeah, they won the first one, then they won the second one,

01:34then they managed to win the third one with a scramble. Yeah, which was frustrating. You know,

01:39I think someone changed a little bit of what we're doing in defending them, which is a little bit

01:44frustrating, but yeah, you know, it is what it is. Had the pressure and then obviously the great

01:49opportunity just for half-time with the penalty, you know, great ball from Daz to Jack Dean,

01:53clearly fouled, clear penalty and then Bobby Joe's Penangka, unfortunately, goes over,

01:57doesn't it? Which is obviously a frustrating one, but it happens, yeah. Yeah, I think it looked like

02:01it was caught in between two, just going down the middle and like Penangka and yeah, it's got too much

02:06on it, you know, on target, it goes in, but yeah, again, one of the length things, but it's

02:10cliche, obviously, but to score before half-time obviously would have been a great momentum,

02:15but at half-time at 1-0, with all that pressure, you still would have obviously been saying, you

02:20know, keep applying the pressure and it will come and obviously it did in the end. Yeah,

02:24keep probing away, keep going down the outside and getting in those channels and a bit more quality

02:28in the final third. I feel, you know, I'll build up play today, you know, it's mostly the best it's

02:32been this season. It's just that final, like 18 yards out and then around the box that let us down today.

02:38Just haven't got the strikers firing yet, but it'll come. Yeah, that'll come because it's

02:42obviously early season, isn't it? So, you know, people are still, you know, getting sort of

02:46fully into up and running and the rhythm of the season, won't they, as it goes on?

02:49Yeah, yeah, you know, they've all had good chances today and I've been, you know,

02:52all frustrated that they haven't gotten the score sheet, but yeah, sometimes, you know,

02:56these things happen and I think we'll have a lot more of this and it's just good to see the

03:00spirit of the boys getting something out of it. Yeah, that spirit to keep going and get the equaliser and

03:06sort of a common theme of the last few seasons. And again, you know, the five subs came on and

03:11made a bit of an impact, didn't they? You know, keep asking questions and yeah.

03:14Yeah, it was good today. You know, I think last week we struggled, you know, we've had like two

03:18really fit subs and a couple that are just patched up and not really wanting to come on. So yeah,

03:24to have five today and getting people back, you know, it showed the depth of the squad and

03:28how good they can be when they come on.

03:30Yeah, and then obviously the second penalty again, another stone wall, wasn't it? Brandon's taken out

03:33and then great Evans, good composure there, stoppage time, you know, it is a pressure moment, isn't it?

03:37Yeah, it's a big pressure moment, especially, you know, with the way the game's gone, you know,

03:40missed chance after chance and block after block and we missed a penalty and yeah, being, you know,

03:45almost last kick of the game. It's a big pressure and yeah, he loves those moments and yeah,

03:50he's started it way well.

03:50And so four games, still unbeaten, eight points. It's been a really sort of solid start to the level here,

03:55hasn't it? You know, sort of set your stall out.

03:57Yeah, it's been a great start to the season, you know, we'll take that. I think we're only

04:02going to get better and, you know, understand you've got to take your chances when they come

04:07and you can't miss as many as we did today, that's for sure.

04:09And a quick turnaround to Dorchester on Monday, but obviously you've got a good squad and you

04:14utilise it as needed, presumably.

04:16Yeah, we make changes on Monday. Yeah, just some of it weren't up to par today in the final first,

04:20so we make some changes, but yeah, overall happy and it's a good game to have fun.
