00:00Paul, it was a superb 4-0 win against Thornton, you must have been defeated out today.

00:05Yeah, I thought it was excellent first half. We was at it from the start of the half.

00:09I asked the boys to go out and get moaning about the left of our grass on the pitch.

00:16It's cut to what we wanted and I thought we moved it in today.

00:20Yeah, he really sipped the ball about today and 3-0 up by half-time in that first half.

00:24Just superb, the game was won then, wasn't it?

00:26Yeah, it could have been more and should have been more.

00:30We were probably better at taking our chances but 3-0 and it was a comeback off today.

00:36This season, quite a few times you had to be patient against teams, you've zapped back and you got your reward later on.

00:43Do you feel like that was coming today, a game where teams got a bit of a hiding really?

00:48A little bit. Teams obviously do their homework and they come and sit in and try and frustrate us.

00:53At the time, large parts of the game, you know, especially as you step up the level, it's tight.

00:58But yeah, they come and give it a go, you know, this happened at 4-3-3.

01:01And yeah, we just picked them up.

01:03Yeah, so you had plenty of chances in that first half.

01:06And then it sort of eventually came just after the half hour with Ogo Obi and then just 3 goals within 10 minutes really.

01:12It sort of crapped it up, wasn't it?

01:13Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was coming for Ogo. He had a couple of chances that he missed and should have taken.

01:18And close to a couple of passes. And yeah, it finally fell to him. I think he was a nice play ball.

01:23And he managed to get on him as a mushroom keeper.

01:27And then the second, a really quick break from that tournament set piece, wasn't it?

01:30You know, it threw them straight away. Ogo drives forward and a great three ball to Bobby Joe, finish it off.

01:34Yeah, it's perfect. You know, we asked the boys to say, I've been off the ball in a certain way.

01:38And to pick up a position where, you know, when we clear the ball that we can hurt him on their counter.

01:43And yeah, he travelled with the ball really well. And Bob finished it well.

01:47And then the third, before half time, that really sort of wrapped it all up really, didn't it?

01:50It did, yeah. You know, Bob put himself in a great area and travelled again with the ball.

01:55And they couldn't get the grip for him, you know.

01:57What he did off his left foot. You know, he scored with his left foot.

02:01But then he goes down the outside of his right foot and breaks another one.

02:04So, yeah, really happy for him. I thought it was a good game for Bobby.

02:073-0 up at half time. Obviously, I presume it would have been very happy.

02:10And in that second half, presumably, if you wanted to sort of, you know, keep going where you could.

02:15But obviously, you know, we have a big game on Tuesday against Gloucester.

02:17So, you know, managing minutes, nothing silly, you know, all of that.

02:20And still control the game, which you did.

02:22Yeah, it's difficult when you're 3-0 up and, you know, as good as we was.

02:25And the bars then had not come back out.

02:27And they made the triple substitution and changed it.

02:31And we sort of took off.

02:33We had a couple of moments of passage of play.

02:36I think there's one that could have been goal of the season.

02:38They go sort of sit away with the football.

02:40And then that really kills the game.

02:42And, you know, it's seven or eight.

02:44And then we didn't go in.

02:45And, yeah, the game sort of kicked out, really.

02:48But Sam Evans off the bench.

02:51Scores the fourth late on.

02:52Two and two for him.

02:53Obviously, for his confidence.

02:54Yeah, real happy for him.

02:55You know, keep talking to him.

02:57You know, constantly weren't too sure if I was going to start him today.

03:00But with Tuesday in mind, I said to him, you know, half out of the bench,

03:04get yourself a goal, build that confidence.

03:05And he's done that.

03:06Not a lot for Zaki to do, but a clean sheet.

03:09You know, when you're so far ahead in the game, you know,

03:11it's important to see that through comfortably, isn't it?

03:13Yeah, I don't think he made, like, a save until, like, 88 minutes or so.

03:17He made a double save.

03:18He's made a comfortable catch.

03:20But, yeah, I think, you know, they bombarded him with, like, corners.

03:23Everything was on him.

03:24And he dealt with it really well.

03:25Obviously, he managed to make the five subs and get good minutes.

03:28Obviously, Cook's still coming back.

03:29Got a bit longer.

03:30And just, yeah, obviously, double change in the midfield as well.

03:32And, yeah, just sort of rotate minutes as you need, really, presumably.

03:36Yeah, perfect.

03:37You know, three-night-half time.

03:38We can, you know, do that.

03:39I always try to do that anyway, regardless.

03:42But, yeah, it was good today, especially with Gloucester for Tuesday.

03:45That's taking up to second and Gloucester are top.

03:47I mean, it's set up for a real mouth-watering game on Tuesday, isn't it?

03:50Yeah, yeah.

03:51We come into this league and, yeah, it seems to be, we keep playing the top seven sides.

03:55We match panning out.

03:56We've shown any of the other ones on the table.

03:58You know, Gloucester are top of the table.

04:00And, yeah, I'm sure it's going to be a good game.

04:03Obviously, just going to be full of confidence going into that unbeaten.

04:06Still in the FA Cup.

04:07It's all sort of all positives at the moment.

04:08Yeah, yeah.

04:09It's a great start.

04:10And, yeah, we just came to build up.
