Transcript

00:01We're here with Lascard joint boss Darren Gilbert after today's 2-1 victory over Callington.

00:06Darren, what were your thoughts?

00:08Tough game. We won a goal behind, but we showed great character today.

00:14We won 8-0 through the week and everybody's on a high,

00:17and then you come here against the Callington side, a very, very good Callington side,

00:20and they made us work for it today. We had a chat after on,

00:24had a bit of a rant and rave because I didn't think we were trying to fight Finn Harrison

00:28instead of letting him win the header and sit off.

00:30I thought Josh McCabe was outstanding in second half.

00:32I thought he managed him very well, and he got his justice award today by getting the winner.

00:37The first half, like you say, was a pretty scrappy affair with neither side creating too many chances.

00:42What was set at halftime to try and change the game in your momentum?

00:46We always want to try to win the game. They come in, they were busy, they cut off the midfield.

00:53We tried to feed through Mabel to get people on the ball,

00:56and it just didn't happen for us today. They worked their socks off, do you know what I mean?

01:00That's credit to Callington. You've sometimes got to find a way,

01:04and today we found a way. Yeah, it wasn't the best in the score performance,

01:08but we dug deep and really proud of the team today because sometimes you win 8-0

01:13and everybody goes, oh, you should be winning it. You come here and you win 2-1

01:16and everybody expects a tough game. I knew it was going to be a tough game today,

01:19and it'll be even tougher when we go up there.

01:21Set pieces are always important. How pleasing was it to get the winner from one of those?

01:25Well, it's magic. You know, we work on set pieces and we haven't scored a lot.

01:29So for Josh to go, you know, Skipper's been out suspended. We've missed him.

01:33He came back in a great game midweek and then come top it off today,

01:37MOM for me and then score and a go. Fantastic. So yeah, really, really pleased for him today.

01:42And next week you go to St Dei, a slightly different challenge of a side sort of fighting for their lives down at the bottom.

01:48What sort of game are you expecting down there?

01:50Same as. Everybody wants to be the first team to beat us and I get that, do you know what I mean?

01:54And I'll be the same, but, you know, we'll go down there and we've got a few injuries.

01:57We missed Georgie Newton today. Georgie Newton's a big loss for us, injured, do you know what I mean?

02:01Hopefully we get him back and, you know, it'll be same as. They're fighting for their lives

02:05and they'll scrap for every ball and we've got to go down there and we've got to try to get three points

02:09and then go to Elberton. That game will hopefully take care of itself.

02:13Like you say, you've got Elberton on November the 15th. How important is it to go down there still unbeaten

02:19and obviously ideally with another three points to the tally before day?

02:23100%. I said all the way through these last couple of weeks, we need to get to the Elberton game without being defeated.

02:28If we could do that, the pressure's on them. We can go there quite relaxed.

02:32Like I said, that game will take care of itself. We need to go to St A next week and pick up three points

02:36and if we can go to Elberton, still in front of them, then I'll be a very, me and Gams will be very, very happy gaffers.
