00:00Friday night under the lights of the triath and a 3-2 win in the end against Clan Roost.

00:05Your recollections of what happened on an exciting night?

00:08Yeah, stressful wasn't it?

00:10Yeah, I thought we started the game well.

00:12We spoke a lot about what they're good at, which is set pieces.

00:15And the disappointing thing really in the first half was after we took the lead,

00:19we sort of allowed them to start getting set pieces and not dealing with them properly,

00:22which leads to more set pieces.

00:23And obviously the first goal comes from that.

00:25And I think the second goal is a set piece in the end as well by the third phase or something like that.

00:30So that's the disappointing part of it.

00:31But I also think in the first half, their shape caused us a lot of problems.

00:35And I've been thinking about another shape all week and then sort of changing my mind.

00:38I went with something different first half and it didn't really work in possession.

00:41So we made the change at half time, changed back to what we should have done from the start, really.

00:46And I thought we were dominant in the second half.

00:48They had one chance near the end, but it wasn't about ability or tactics.

00:53It was about the lad's bottle and desire to go and win the game when they were 2-1 down.

00:57I think we'd have definitely lost that last season.

00:58Great goals.

01:00We were one up and a great goal from Benny Lackens as well.

01:04Yeah, obviously a great time for us, Danny.

01:06That's what he's done.

01:06He played for me for four years before he moved on to Colwell and Bay.

01:09So we know what Danny's about.

01:11That's his first 90 minutes, I think, for a long time.

01:13So he'll get better and better as the weeks go on.

01:17What was the words at half time?

01:18Because from one up to one down, a bit of panic?

01:22Not panic, but I was frustrated at half time.

01:23I was frustrated with the way we were dealing with set pieces, to be honest with you, because

01:26we know it's a massive strength it is, and to concede to is disappointing.

01:30But we've conceded three goals so far in all the league games, so I can't complain too much.

01:35We just spoke about what to do tactically second half, and like I say, I thought we took control

01:39of the game, and it was about courage at the end just to see it out, which we've had a

01:43great save again from Josh Cook near the end to win us the game.

01:45And some players playing out of position as well?

01:47Yeah, I mean, I just mentioned to you then, when we get some of these players back that

01:51we've got, we've got some squads.

01:52So tonight, Griff John had an injury, he's played through the pain barrier for me all night.

01:58I'm really pleased we've got 15 days now, till the next game, because I think the squad

02:02will be a lot healthier next month.

02:03On a happy note, gechol Chris.
