00:01Paul Emphatic, 4-0 win against Plymouth Parkway. Thoughts on tonight?
00:06Emphatic, I think being generous, I thought it was a poor game really tonight.
00:12Just three or four bits of quality and three of them ended up being goals.
00:16But yeah, going back to the Columbine County State, that performance, that game.
00:21I think the pitch played a part in that. It's dead, there's no balance on it.
00:25But yeah, take the positives.
00:28You're sort of clinical with the moments.
00:31As I said, the pitch, the time of year it is what it is.
00:34But I guess you don't use that as an excuse, do you? You just adjust?
00:37No, yeah. Saturday it played perfect.
00:39Just one little bad patch, but tonight there just seemed to be no bounce on it.
00:42Maybe just one game too many in quick succession.
00:46But not an excuse. I thought Plymouth come in and they worked hard and they run around
00:50and they had a bit of quality on the board at times, but no real threat.
00:54And it sort of took a bit of a moment of magic from Daz to open the score in that sort of back heel flick, wasn't it?
01:00It was, yeah.
01:01Yeah, great bit of skill. You know, he had the keepers come in, so he knew where he was.
01:04And yeah, just an intelligent football player and he's a great finisher.
01:08And set pieces were sort of on point most of the night.
01:10And obviously Bobby Joe whips in and Ryan heads at home.
01:13Yeah, we said before the game, you know, set pieces would be big.
01:16We knew they were weak on set pieces and it was something that we looked to target.
01:21Maybe should have made a bit more out of how many we had.
01:24But yeah, Ryan's one was very welcome.
01:272-0 at half time, but were you sort of looking for a bit more sort of tempo-wise or anything in the second half?
01:33Yeah, definitely, you know, being at home and coming off the back of a great, really good performance on Saturday.
01:38I wanted a bit more of a spark and, you know, I wanted just to come out and get at it.
01:42Because we've got a big Christmas coming up with some big games.
01:44And if you want to be on that side, you've got to perform.
01:47And I think a few people let themselves down.
01:49Yeah, so, yeah, the message to the players, I guess, is it, you know, you take the three points,
01:55but, you know, you've got to make sure you sort of add it and sort of add the standards, because you do set those standards, don't you?
02:00Yeah, you just, you know, in a little other than we just talked, you know, credit, 4-0 at home and have a clean sheet.
02:05That's the positives, but, you know, we break it down.
02:0878% decision-making was off par and, you know, we won't forget about it.
02:12You know, calling me the Grinch.
02:14But, you know, we've got standards and that's why we keep winning, because we've got standards.
02:18Yeah, exactly. You've got to set those standards and you aren't.
02:20And Bobby Joe, obviously, was a really nice finish in the top corner for the third one.
02:24Yeah, yeah, a great finish. Yeah, I think we worked that quite well to Bob and, yeah, he dipped it in top corner.
02:30You know, he is most likely the difference-maker tonight in terms of qualities, you know, set-piece for Brian's goal is gone tonight.
02:37I think he's won for him.
02:39He whipped in the cross for Owen, yeah.
02:40For Owen at the end, yeah. So, you know, his quality was the difference tonight.
02:44And obviously, yeah, last game before Christmas, so, sort of, good way to sort of, you know, wrap off, you know, for that little...
02:50It is, yeah, good way to wrap off, you know.
02:52I think the last three games have been sort of like 5-0, was it 2-0?
02:562-0 Saturday.
02:572-0 Saturday, 4-0 tonight.
02:58So, yeah, great way to wrap off at home.
03:00And one more game to go this year, you know, let's look to finish it with a win.
03:04Yeah, and obviously, yeah, Bratton all the way. They're obviously struggling, but, you know, it won't take them lightly, obviously, were you?
03:10No, well, they picked up, you know, since Coles come in, they picked up and they've got a bit of momentum going.
03:14But, yeah, it's one of them. You know, I think they're going to... It's not a derby for us, you know, Basingstoke's our derby, but I think they'd treat it like a derby.
03:22And, you know, they'd be at us and we've got the rights to it.
03:26So, you know, you take the three points and the 4-0 and it obviously keeps the great run going, you know, sort of the nine games now, eight wins in the draw, doesn't it?
03:33You just want to keep rolling with it.
03:35It does, you know, obviously, the boys, you know, when they look at the table as well, you know, we've been fifth for such a long time with these games in hand and, you know, we keep on winning.
03:43It still seems to be fifth now. I think we move up to third, possibly.
03:46Third tonight, yeah.
03:47Third tonight, yeah. So, it's a good boost to know that, you know, you and Pat now chasing Walton and Gloucester.
