00:01Dave, a 6th successive victory with an impressive 3-0 win against Bognor Regis, must be very happy after that.
00:07Yeah, really great to keep the run going, that's all we spoke about before the game was keeping the run going.
00:14And another clean sheet, which obviously makes life a lot easier to win games of football.
00:19Yeah, it's 6 straight wins but it's also 5 straight clean sheets as well, which obviously is such an important part of the game.
00:24It gives you that base obviously to go off, doesn't it?
00:26Yeah, absolutely. The back line has been superb. We've made the odd change from game to game in those situations.
00:33There's been some constants throughout that. Obviously Lewis in goal and Dylan, Billy, Manu, Max in there today.
00:43Sometimes it's been Ellis and obviously Caleb as well and Mikey.
00:49So they give us a really strong structure, those seven if you like, whoever those seven might be, to then go and play from there and let the forward guys do their business.
01:00Yeah, Max is his first start today and he's sorted in well. You say you've got plenty of options but he's sorted in well.
01:05Yeah, Max just said to me as we're walking in that it's his first 90 minutes for about a year.
01:10But yeah, he's a great lad, Max. He's come in and hit the ground running from Tuesday night onwards.
01:17Yeah, we're really lucky to have him.
01:19Obviously really pleasing to get the fast start and get the early goal.
01:23I see Tom Dreyer doing well down the left and then a great finish from Kai off the underside of the bar.
01:27Yeah, yeah. Kai's got that in his locker. He's got some class, he's got some ability, Kai.
01:33But Tom was fantastic in that first half. He was probably the standout player on the pitch really, for me anyway.
01:41So always caused a threat. Yeah, he's in a great run of form, Tom.
01:47Yeah, I mean Tom's been doing great for him all season. He played for Woking Tuesday night and did well there again.
01:51He's done well again today.
01:53Yeah, he really did. So, yes. But all the guys are doing great. I mean, Finn's been fantastic for us all season.
02:00Elliot York's come in and done well this last week. Indeed, he's come back to the club and really hit the ground running.
02:06Three goals in two games and a thorn in anyone's side when he's on his game.
02:10Really good squad depth now as well.
02:13Yeah, we've got 10 players out injured at the moment, including the manager.
02:18And his form was fantastic before he picked up the injury.
02:22So that's been quite difficult at times to manage.
02:26But now we're running with a little bit of a shorter squad and obviously playing Saturday, Tuesday.
02:30We've had five weeks of that. We've got about another three or four weeks to go of that.
02:34So we're just trying to make a couple of changes every game and just keep it as fresh as possible.
02:39And hopefully a few of those lads are out injured.
02:43There's a couple that have come back training this week and we can get them back involved again.
02:47And the second goal, sort of a nice move, long ball over the top, which Finn controlled.
02:51And then eventually Diddy sort of calmly finishes it off at the second attempt there.
02:54Yeah, yeah. He's done brilliant indeed. He's come back brilliant.
02:59Yeah, obviously you've had him before and he's come back and hit the ground running as well.
03:03Yeah, yeah, yeah. Third spell.
03:06Yeah, I think he's enjoying the freedom that he's getting here, I think.
03:092-0 at half-time. What was the message going into that second half?
03:13Just keep doing what we were doing really.
03:16I think we just last ten minutes of that first half and then we just dropped off a little bit.
03:20We just sat in behind them a little bit too much and we didn't really get tight enough.
03:27But yeah, we started the second half again really well actually.
03:32And at the end of the day, 3-0 is 3-0 and that's brilliant.
03:36But that could have been a much bigger scoreline really at the end.
03:39Yeah, at 2-0 obviously the next goal is always going to be keen.
03:43You started the second half well and the third goal from Diddy really did sort of seal it off
03:46and it could have been more after that.
03:48Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, it's a bit disappointing that we didn't score more actually.
03:51But, you know, can't get too greedy with 3-0 wins and 3-0 wins.
03:56Yeah, another pleasing day. And the run you're on at the moment,
03:59as you said before the game, you just want to keep it going.
04:02Obviously confidence must be high, but equally you're sort of staying grounded and taking each game as it comes.
04:08We've all been in the game a long time and we've got some...
04:13The experienced boys in the team are not letting that happen at all.
04:16And I think the young lads as well are really driven.
04:20So it's a nice balance and I think they bounce off each other really well.
04:26It's a really good bunch of guys and I don't think anybody in that changing room at the moment would allow that to happen.
04:33So at some point we're going to have a sticky time. Of course we are.
04:37And I fully expect us to bounce back from that after that. But look, at the moment, let's just keep us going.
04:43And so it's a busy run on Saturday, Tuesday and that will continue obviously this Tuesday at home to Portis.
04:47Yeah, yeah, really tough game. They were really...
04:49It was a really tough game we had down there a couple of weeks ago.
04:51Just funny how the fixtures have turned out that we then play them at home again so soon.
04:56Yeah, it'll be really tough. They've got some good players.
05:01And there's no easy game and we'll try and prepare right as much as we can.
05:07They'll recover from today and then, yeah, go again Tuesday.
