00:01Kev, 3-0 draw against Badshutley and a real sort of back-haw-day thriller there.
00:05So we came back, obviously had the great start, went 1-0 up and then character to come back
00:09from 3-1 down and all that pressure in the second half.
00:12Could have won it maybe, thoughts on that?
00:14Yeah, I think the moments in the game that decided it were we went 1-up and then probably
00:19had three chances to go 2-3 up.
00:22So that changes the game.
00:24We don't take them and then obviously allow Badshutley in.
00:28They're honest, hard-working, they covered good ground.
00:31They got away, you guys are playing, which we should have exploited the areas that they
00:36leave better, but we didn't.
00:38And they probably then exploited us.
00:40We were a little bit poor in the transition.
00:43And then they scored a couple of goals, two down one side of the pitch.
00:46Where the ball carrier, you know, carried it too far.
00:49We probably make a tactical foul really to stop that.
00:52But then to go sort of 3-1 down with what, two minutes before the half.
00:57And then we do think when we're sort of on the back foot, we seem to be a bit more positive.
01:02So we were a bit aggressive.
01:04We kept attacking and then we got a penalty, which is a penalty, going 3-2.
01:08And that gives me a better half-time team talk than probably what it would have been 30 seconds earlier.
01:12And then after that, second half, we made a couple of changes.
01:17It definitely gave us, you know, a more positive view of how we went about the second half.
01:24And to be honest, I mean, the last 20 minutes, we spent most of it in the final third.
01:29There's a couple of decisions that I'm alright with not getting.
01:34And it's dubious.
01:35And you think one being Memphis Riggs is another.
01:38But there is a clear foul.
01:40Our number nine touches the ball on the penalty spot with just a player between him and the goal.
01:48And he's not able to get a shot off.
01:50And no one sees any contact.
01:52He's not going to stop.
01:53And it's, listen, it's officiating there.
01:57It's got to be better.
01:58Because someone's got to see that.
01:59Or they're not close enough.
02:01So it probably changes the game.
02:03On reflection, why does the point deserve the points going on?
02:06I think the shared is probably fair.
02:08We wouldn't have wanted to win the game.
02:10They certainly wouldn't have come here to try and win the game.
02:12With them playing Saturday, we maybe should have had more energy in the last sort of 20,
02:17which we did a bit, but I think we could have been a bit more, you know, dominant.
02:21But it is what it is.
02:22Just take it moving.
02:23Yeah, I mean, big decisions at big moments.
02:26You know, a penalty in stoppage time at 3-0, you can't get any more key than that, really.
02:31No, no.
02:32This is when you ask the question.
02:33I'm going to go and speak to them.
02:34I need them to explain to me what they did or didn't say.
02:37And they ask you to wait until I ask this.
02:39We don't question it.
02:40We can see the way there's seven more players.
02:42So I mean, since Kane was probably all four of us,
02:46we'll ask them to wait until Jeremy calms down and I'll go and ask the question.
02:50And I'll ask what they thought our number nine would do in that situation.
02:54Because he gets a shot off otherwise.
02:56So it's, I don't know.
02:58But yeah, good character to come back.
03:00But we need to take advantage of the moments that, you know, when we have the opportunities.
03:05And we haven't done that.
03:06Yeah, I mean, so you came out bright, got the early goal from Ed,
03:09and you had plenty of moments to get that sort of second or third goal really at that start, didn't you?
03:13Yeah, and look, it's a derby.
03:15It's on a Monday there.
03:16You know, they're up for it.
03:17We're up for it.
03:18It's a good crowd.
03:19It's a nice day.
03:20It's difficult again.
03:21You know, we're having drinks, breaks, and should we have them?
03:23I don't know.
03:24It does stop the game a little bit.
03:27But then I think when the first time it happened, it was probably better for us
03:30because we were sort of on the back foot and the second time it happened, it probably wasn't.
03:34So, you know, it's one of them.
03:36But yeah, look, we need to get sorted quickly.
03:39I mean, we don't currently have a fixture on Saturday because we're due to play Cobham.
03:43So our next fixture at the minute is Shearwater at home on the Tuesday.
03:48I think they've had a pretty good result against Abbey today.
03:51So, again, another tough game.
03:53But you can just see, just look at it week by week.
03:56This is an open league.
03:58I don't know anything.
03:59The team becomes the most consistent.
04:01It's going to be there and then.
04:03I've come here.
04:04It's not going to be...
04:05Anyone won't be able to pick them until probably September, October.
04:08But if a team could get a normal window of 15 or so, you know, they'll be looking to be at the top.
04:13I see it's still early days, but you are up though at the moment, aren't you?
04:16So if you can really sort of go on a run, you know, it seems...
04:19It looks very open at the moment, doesn't it?
04:20It does.
04:21Yeah, and listen, nothing.
04:22You don't know what other teams are doing.
04:24We're happy with what we're doing and we're making our own mistakes that we need to get better.
04:28If we stop making them, then we would be in a better position.
04:31But then other teams probably sound the same as well.
04:33So, listen, end of September, start of October, that's when it'll all be judged properly.
04:38So we'll see what happens.
04:40But, you know, we'll keep working on what we want to do, how we want to play, how we want to do things.
04:44And as long as the lads keep buying into it, which at times they seemingly don't understand it maybe.
04:50Maybe I'm not getting it across right or maybe I'm setting this up wrong.
04:53I don't know.
04:54It's something we have to look at week in, week out.
04:56But we're happy with our group and we think that this group is good enough to have a competitive season, let's say.
05:03Getting the penalty before half-time to make it three supers, really a major half-time team talk.
05:08Bit better to have that sort of momentum right on the break.
05:11Yeah, no, we were going to make a change if in two because we needed something different to happen.
05:16That goes and then we only made one.
05:18I think we needed to make one and it wasn't necessarily on the individual.
05:21I just think we needed to change things because maybe I'd got it a little bit wrong as well.
05:24But that's my job and I've got to do that.
05:28I think we also should have been better from set pieces today.
05:31We looked today just from set pieces.
05:33Should we score more from them? Definitely.
05:36Let's just be happy with the point bank holiday.
05:40Bad shot.
05:41Good group.
05:42Good club.
05:43Move on.
05:44Plenty of pressure in the second half.
05:45Get the reward.
05:46Then she regards it with the equaliser.
05:47And then going to penalise it every once in a minute.
05:49It was a great strike that was really well saved.
05:51You know, got the point in the end.
05:53Could have won it.
05:54You know, had plenty of pressure on the second half.
05:56That's it.
05:57Listen, it's worth living it.
05:58Could we have won it?
05:59Yeah, we could.
06:00Could we have gone further behind the turn point and they've gone out of reach?
06:03Yeah, definitely.
06:04Let's focus on the next game now.
06:09This one's done.
