00:01Paul, first league to defeat the season, 3-2 against Weymouth.
00:04Obviously ten games in, so obviously it's going to come at some point.
00:09Thoughts on how it all sort of played out?
00:11Yeah, I thought it was a strange game of football.
00:15The first 20 minutes we were flat and I deserved to go behind really.
00:20We just didn't get going and then after that we picked it up and we were comfortable.
00:26We looked at threat from set pieces but not really anything in play.
00:31We managed to find two quick goals right before half-time.
00:34I thought we'd kick on and win the game pretty comfortably.
00:37The second half, for large parts of it, it looked that way.
00:41Then all of a sudden we just couldn't deal with the big lad up top.
00:45He bullied us and caused us problems and we found ourselves behind quite quick.
00:50It was sort of an uncharacteristic slow start but then you sort of grow into that first half.
00:54Got the two before half-time through Matt McKenzie, the equaliser.
00:58Then obviously getting the second goal as well just before the break.
01:01Then at half-time, you're thinking two and up, got the momentum, we'll kick on.
01:05You said you were in control at the start of the second half.
01:07Yeah, I thought it was in control.
01:09We had a couple of chances from corners which we looked threatening from.
01:12We didn't quite get the third to kill it.
01:15Then all of a sudden, one ball across the pitch.
01:19Ryan and Brandon didn't deal with it and he's finished it well.
01:23Then pretty much the same for the third.
01:25Another one ball, couldn't deal with him again and they scored again.
01:29Obviously, there were chances for that third.
01:31Obviously, I guess it always does make the difference if you get that two-goal buffer, doesn't it?
01:36Yeah, massively.
01:37It's a big part of the game, killing the game off.
01:40We didn't afford to do that.
01:42We got punished whether we thought it was too good for them.
01:46Looking at league positions, but they shot themselves in the foot there.
01:51I quite like the way they went about it.
01:53Wayne was in the second half.
01:54Hit big tackles, put us on the floor and we had no response to it.
01:58I don't think we made a tackle.
02:00I just said to them there, you can't defend like that.
02:02You've got to make tackles in football.
02:04You can't stroll around the ball pitch.
02:06Hopefully, a few of us got a few bumps after those knocks.
02:09Then we go again.
02:11Ten games in, first defeat.
02:14It's obviously been a really good start.
02:16You look to go again and react.
02:17It's a big game, obviously.
02:19You have the league leaders coming on Tuesday night, isn't it?
02:21It is a big game, yes.
02:22It's a massive game now.
02:23You look at that as one that you expect to win at home as well.
02:27At home on Tuesday, we look to win the majority of home games.
02:32Especially these ones.
02:34It's got to be a big response now.
02:36It's all done.
02:37Sam Evans had to come off early in the first half.
02:40Obviously, I guess too early to really know the severity of it.
02:42But obviously, it picked up a bit of an injury there.
02:44Yes, it is.
02:45It was a frustrating afternoon on that side.
02:47You know, Dale's son was pulled up in the warm-up.
02:49Bob was struggling.
02:50Joe Jackson was struggling.
02:52And then Sam was struggling with breathing.
02:55He's taking himself to hospital.
02:57So, yeah, frustrating.
02:58You know, I think these boys, they look for a way out quite quick.
03:02You know, sometimes when you get knocked, you've just got to play.
03:04You know, take some tablets and play.
03:06And they're pampered too much sometimes.
03:08So, now it's all going to be about that reaction on Tuesday against Walton and Hurst.
03:11It is, yeah.
03:12You know, I expect it to be a different game.
03:14You know, Walton on a good side.
03:15The pace of the game, I think, is going to up.
03:17So, yeah, it's one that should suit us as well.
03:19It's one that should suit us as well.
