00:01Paul, 3-0 win against Dorchester in the FA Cup and through to the fourth qualifying round for the first time in the club's history.

00:08It's another sort of landmark achievement there today, isn't it?

00:11It is, yeah. I just said to the boys, you know, take the performance away.

00:15It wasn't the greatest of vintage games. It's a bit dull, but the boys have made more history for the football club.

00:22We take that as a massive positive and we look forward to the draw on Monday.

00:26Obviously, in cup games, it's about getting through and you deserve to win the game.

00:31Was it just a case of getting the job done today, do you say?

00:34It was, yeah. They were disappointing, I must admit.

00:38They didn't really offer too much. The 9-11 were by far the standout players for them.

00:43It was just a case of how good we were going to be or could we put a chance away.

00:51I thought, you know, the first half in the final, third wheel was non-existent.

00:55It was a bit painful to watch. Didn't play much.

00:59But, yeah, I had a few words at half the time and, yeah, we come out a bit better.

01:03Yeah, in that first half, plenty of territory in possession, but just not that sort of final cutting edge was there.

01:08But in the second half, obviously there was.

01:10There was, yeah. You know, I get on the case, you know, about putting crosses in the box in certain areas from our boys, especially full backs.

01:17And we put a couple in today, you know, they're just tappings. They're easy goals for strikers.

01:22And, yeah, the movement, you know, flat-footed in there. No attempt to get across and just tap it in.

01:29So, yeah, it's frustrating, disappointing.

01:31Thought we passed it quite well, you know, in comfortable areas, which I expect us to do.

01:36But, yeah, that was about as much as it was in the first half.

01:39A few changes today, as sort of expected, but still a strong team.

01:43And obviously, great Evans gets his chance and opens the scoring with a good finish.

01:46After some nice play down the right between sort of Joe, Daz and Ogo, wasn't it?

01:49Yeah, it was pretty cool with him at half-time.

01:51You know, I think he was doing like, you know, three, four, five movements before he was doing the basics of doing the first thing right first.

01:58And, yeah, when, you know, when you dig people out and that, the best response is to go and do that.

02:05And, yeah, I'm happy that he touched it away.

02:07You know, he's a good lad and he deserves it with his, like, effort and what he gives to the group.

02:13And then, obviously, Ogo wins the penalty and Daz slots it away for 2-0.

02:16And, I mean, Dorchester hadn't really been a threat at all anyway, but, obviously, that really sort of sealed it, didn't it there?

02:21It did, yeah. It sort of is comfortable, but you get to that stage, you know, 85th minute and then, you know,

02:27there's six minutes and it's just one chance, you know, especially in cup football.

02:32You just never know.

02:33And even till the last couple of minutes, you know, it's always, there's always a chance in it.

02:38And if they put one away, then it's obviously, it comes a nervy couple of minutes.

02:42And then, obviously, the third at the end to wrap it up.

02:44Owen, obviously, unselfish, puts it on a plate, really, for Ogo there at the back post.

02:47Yeah, that's, you know, we go on as well with Owen, you know, that's his strength,

02:52driving with that ball, being a threat.

02:54And he's done that and he's unselfishly rolled it across to Ogo.

02:57He's had a frustrating time in front of the goal today.

02:59You know, he could have had a few today.

03:00So, credit to Owen as a team player.

03:02And, yeah, Ogo stuck to it and got his goal.

03:05Obviously, one negative today enforced double change in the first half with, yeah,

03:10Bobby Joe coming off injured and Jack Dean, I presume, sort of injured as well.

03:13Obviously, too early to know, I guess.

03:15Obviously, it's not ideal, is it?

03:17No, I think, you know, saving grace is, you know, it's a week of cup football.

03:21So, you know, it is what it is.

03:23It's not too important, the trophy or the Surrey Cup on Tuesday night.

03:27So, yeah, they got a couple of weeks rest.

03:30Yeah, Bob was a groin, just about two inches in his groin,

03:34and Jack felt his thigh.

03:36He felt in the warm-up, but didn't say anything, tried to play on.

03:40But, so, yeah, he's pulled up.

03:42Matt McKenzie from the other night as well is a bit of an issue.

03:45It's going to be a few weeks.

03:46So, yeah, we picked up a few unnecessary injuries.

03:49Yeah, so you picked them up.

03:51But, I guess, if you're going to pick a time, I guess now, really.

03:54Because, as I say, you've gone through today as well.

03:56So, it's going to be even, you know, more than two weeks now

03:58for the next league game, isn't it?

03:59It is, yeah.

04:00It's perfect.

04:01Perfect timing, you know, if you're going to get, like you say,

04:03if you're going to get those injuries, this is the perfect time to pick them up.

04:06It gives them a chance to recoup and freshen up as well.

04:10You know, it's been a call-in, opening start to the season for us.

04:14Another good crowd today, 7-9-8.

04:16Just sort of shows momentum, doesn't it, that's sort of building?

04:18It does.

04:19You know, the crowd are good.

04:20They're getting better and better each week.

04:21And, yeah, you know, we like playing here.

04:23And the town are backing us, and they're a long mate to continue.

04:26And, presumably, obviously, Epsom and Newell, Surrey Senior Cup,

04:29a nice chance, you know, to change things around as you want, presumably, there.

04:33Yeah, we'll have a look.

04:34We'll get a couple of people in, we'll have a look at them.

04:36And, yeah, we'll play a few more boys, you know, that need the minutes.

04:39Percy and Rans Cooks, Lids will be back.

04:42So, yeah, we'll have a look at a couple,

04:44and we'll just go and enjoy a Tuesday night for what it is.
