00:00Paul, penalty shootout win in the FA Trophy against Bishops Cleve after a 2-2 draw.

00:05Thoughts on the afternoon there?

00:07Yeah, strange one.

00:08Strange one, you know, getting back to the cup.

00:10A bit disruptive with the league, league game, cup game, league game, cup game.

00:14But yeah, it was a strange afternoon.

00:19Credit to them.

00:20They come and they give it a right good go.

00:22And arguably had the best player on the pitch on their 11

00:25who caused us problems all afternoon.

00:28Yeah, I thought it was a good game today.

00:30Yeah, I mean, they've been in good form, going well.

00:32And they came and had a go.

00:33You know, quite a few teams in the league have come and not had a go.

00:35But they sort of did really come here and have a go, didn't they?

00:37Yeah, yeah, they're a good side.

00:38You know, the final one beating in their league.

00:40One below, you know, beat Schoeling in the cup competition.

00:45Run with Wimbledon close.

00:46So, yeah, they're no mugs.

00:48And they proved it today.

00:49And, yeah, they took us all the way.

00:51Obviously, so it's sort of been, you know, cup, league, cup, league.

00:53But obviously, good, you know, to get a win on penalties

00:55and sort of, you know, get that sort of, you know,

00:57running into what will obviously be a busy league period coming up.

01:00Yeah, it is.

01:00Yeah, you know, it's important today.

01:02Obviously, coming off the back of a couple of defeats,

01:04well, three defeats with the cup as well.

01:06So, to get back into winning ways, be it by penalties,

01:09you know, it just ups the mood again.

01:11And, yeah, we got through it.

01:14Took the lead with a superb sort of through-ball defensive link

01:17from Bobby Joe, wasn't it?

01:18And then, obviously, Ogo finishes it off.

01:21Yeah, we were a bit scrappy at the start

01:23and we weren't really, like, into it.

01:25We lost pretty much every second ball in there.

01:28And, yeah, there's a bit of quality.

01:29Bob's pass, I think he's the only person on the pitch

01:31that can see that pass.

01:33And, yeah, Ogo's a good run off the shoulder

01:35and started it in well.

01:36Obviously, they get the equaliser in the second goal.

01:38Owen Dean does well and then, sort of, unselfish,

01:41puts it across and Matt McKenzie arrives,

01:42perfect timing on that run and then puts it away.

01:45Yeah, it was.

01:45We had moments.

01:46We had moments where you could see that, you know,

01:48our quality was there and, yeah, it took two moments.

01:51Bob's pass and Owen's little Jim Maisie run in the corner

01:54and, yeah, picked Matt out quite well.

01:57And, yeah, he put it away.

01:59I thought we'd kick on from there.

02:00Yeah, there were, sort of, chances to get the third, weren't there?

02:03Obviously, it never came.

02:04But at half-time at 2-1, presumably,

02:05you were, sort of, thinking, yeah,

02:06kick on and, sort of, go on from there.

02:08Yeah, I think second half started.

02:10It was a little bit scrappy

02:11and then we, sort of, got a foot hold of the game

02:13and, yeah, we dominated.

02:15There's a 20-minute spell, you know,

02:17where we had chance, sort of, chance after chance, really.

02:19I think we hit the bar a couple of times.

02:21Matt McKenzie's latched a couple over.

02:23He could have come away with four goals today.

02:25And that's, sort of, been the theme last couple of weeks.

02:27We haven't taken our moments when we're one-up.

02:30We can never seem to get that two-goal lead.

02:32It's, sort of, punishing us

02:33when they've gone down the other end of the squad.

02:36So, you had that period of dominance.

02:38Didn't get the third

02:39and then, obviously, they do get the equaliser.

02:42And then, you, sort of, nearly went in at the end.

02:43Matt McKenzie's, obviously, clicked the bar.

02:45And then there's another one with another great ball from Brandon.

02:47He's just put wide to the chances there.

02:49And then in the penalties, obviously, Michael,

02:51only your second game,

02:52he's come up with three great saves there in the shootout, hasn't he?

02:54He has, yeah.

02:55Yeah, we're confident in the shootout.

02:57You know, we had good penalty takers.

02:59You know, we had a few still to come down the line

03:01in sudden death if it went that way.

03:03And, yeah, Michael's proven over the years.

03:06You know, he's a great shot stopper and penalty saver.

03:09And he's proved that today.

03:10And he's, yeah, been the match winner for us.

03:11Yeah, and you see loads of penalty takers in the squad.

03:14And, obviously, Bobby Joe,

03:15sort of, constantly puts away the winning one there.

03:17And then, obviously, gets through to the next round.

03:19And then, he'll be back to the league now on Wednesday.

03:21I haven't a game in hand.

03:22And important now to, sort of, get back in the league

03:26and attack that game.

03:27Yeah, it is.

03:27Yeah, I think a few teams around us in the league

03:29just to have us all play today.

03:31So, yeah, I think we've fallen a couple behind.

03:32So, yeah, it's important we get back into league action.

03:35See you later, mate.

03:36Important we're getting back into league action

03:38and, you know, try and get back to winning ways in now.
