00:01Andy, half-four, 3-1 win against Eggo, makes it four wins in a row.
00:05Real sort of battle tonight. They made it for you, didn't they?
00:07But you really stood up to that and obviously got the three points there.
00:10Yeah, it was a real battle tonight.
00:12Probably the biggest physical challenge we've had for a little while here since Portchester.
00:17Really pleased the boys came through it.
00:20Not our finest display, but probably our grittiest display.
00:25Pleased with that and like you said, four wins in the bouts is really pleasing.
00:28So, yeah, let's see if we can just keep the run going as long as possible.
00:31We had a good run before, so try and do something similar.
00:35That must be a real pleasing side to show that tonight.
00:39When they come here and ask that physical question,
00:43we've got to win games in different ways at times throughout the season, haven't you?
00:47So you really did that.
00:48Yeah, absolutely. To be honest with you, we've got quite a big side ourselves.
00:51We've got lads, I reckon we've got five or six, over six foot two.
00:56So to come here and lose a few headers, it was interesting.
01:01We had to adapt to that because normally we win a lot of balls in the air, to be fair.
01:05It suits us when teams try and go direct, but they knew what they were doing.
01:08They're on an organised side.
01:09They're the first time we've played them this year, so pleased to get three points.
01:12And we know that when we go there away, that's going to be a very tough game.
01:16Fair play to them. I said at half-time to our lot that they're good at what they do.
01:21They know what they're doing.
01:23They're not sort of negative in the way they do it.
01:26They're just very positive. They've got a plan and they stick to it.
01:29So yeah, it caused us some problems at times, but really pleased.
01:32I thought Lewis Gallifin in goal had a good game as well.
01:34Made a couple of great saves.
01:36And yeah, great for Adiri to come on and finish the game off.
01:38So yeah, overall really pleasing, as you can probably tell from my voice.
01:42It's taken a lot out of me as well, even though I'm not on the pitch and the management team.
01:48But yeah, we're really pleased to win again.
01:50Yeah, obviously at 2-1 you sort of managed the game really well though, didn't you?
01:54I mean, Gallifin made a couple of saves when he had to, but they didn't croak too much.
01:58And as I say, obviously Adiri, just to wrap it up at the end was obviously nice, wasn't it?
02:02Yeah, I think when they play that style of football, you're never going to get clear, clear-cut chances.
02:07There'll be like balls dropped down and then it's a good chance and sort of a little bit better than
02:11a half chance.
02:12But I thought we did well at blocking some and then Gallifin made a couple of good saves.
02:16But yeah, we'll do some more work on that because there'll be the odd team that plays like that.
02:20And yeah, it's just good to get a result, to be honest.
02:25It's that stage of the season where you'll take it by hook or by crook, however you get the result.
02:29And yeah, really pleased to get another one tonight.
02:31Yeah, with the way the games sort of keep coming, you just want to keep ticking them off and keep
02:35building the points really, don't you?
02:36Absolutely, yeah. The main aim really is to get the playoffs, be ready for the playoffs, i.e. get enough
02:42points that we're confirmed with the playoffs as soon as possible.
02:45So that's the plan. And yeah, let's see how quickly we can do it, hopefully.
02:49So it doesn't go down to the last game or something like that.
02:52And once that's confirmed, if there's anything else to play for, then we'll go for it.
02:56Yeah, I was going to say, if you can get that sealed, then you kind of know you've got it
02:59in the bank, haven't you?
02:59And then you can almost, you know, go all out for potentially better, can't you?
03:03Yeah, that's it. And we're setting ourselves different targets. The first target is to confirm playoffs.
03:08So simple as that. And yeah, we're working towards it and we're doing a good job at that.
03:13But yeah, as you said, things can change quickly as well. You lose a few on the bounce and all
03:18of a sudden it's, yeah,
03:19you bring other teams into it that weren't into it before. So yeah, we're just trying to do our job
03:24and then the rest will take care of itself.
03:27We'll see a couple of goals for Manu in the first half as well. Really nice finish on the first
03:30one.
03:31And then obviously tucked away the second one as well.
03:33Yeah, to be perfectly honest, Manu's been brilliant. I've played with Manu for many years now and he's the best,
03:39if not one of the best right backs in the league. And he had a little bit of a poor
03:43spell recently.
03:44So he's been putting some hard work in that you won't see. And to be honest, he probably had two
03:48of his best performances today
03:50and at the weekend. Scored a couple today, I think, wasn't it? And one on...
03:55Two and two, yeah. Two and two, yeah. So four and two now.
03:57Yeah, four and two. So as a right back, not bad. So yeah, he's doing well.
04:02Yeah, and as I say, obviously, Odeary off the bench just to wrap up at the end, wasn't it?
04:06Yeah, we've got some really strong players to come on the pitch. It's a little bit boring how we keep
04:10saying that,
04:10but we really do. We've got some game changes and also some players that can improve our starting team.
04:16So yeah, I'm really pleased with that. And Odeary has done well every time he's come on, to be honest.
04:20So yeah, really pleased with him as well.
04:23Yeah, I mean, it is another positive of building that sort of good squad, isn't it?
04:26You've got different options, you know, to either come off the bench or change the team, as you see fit
04:31really, don't you?
04:31Yeah, I mean, Kai had a great game at the weekend, but I felt it was going to be better
04:36to have some fresh legs in there.
04:38And also Ethan, we've got Ethan on the bench who scored God knows how many goals this year.
04:42So yeah, some really strong options and hopefully they can all pitch in at different times and start at different
04:47times and yeah, do well.
04:49And obviously, you know, taking care of business tonight and got the three points, which is obviously the main thing.
04:54But you'll have known obviously Leatherhead were playing Moneyfields tonight and obviously Moneyfields have won.
04:58So I guess the fact you're able to back that up yourselves with a win, you know, you've taken care
05:03of your business there, haven't you?
05:04Yeah, that's all we're about to be honest. Like a lot of other people sort of talk about what results
05:09are.
05:09So the first thing in the bar is worrying about other teams. I couldn't really care less, to be honest.
05:14It's more about what we do. If we play well, I'm happy. We don't. I'm not. It don't really matter
05:18what the other results are.
05:19If everyone loses, I'm still not happy. So yeah, we can only control what what we do.
05:25And yeah, at the moment we're doing it well.
05:28Yeah. As I said, four successive wins and the game's just going to keep coming really thick and fast.
05:32And obviously trip to Bognor on Saturday. Yeah, trip to Bognor Saturday.
05:35There's talks that we might be playing Monday as well. And then we've also got a Thursday game and a
05:40Saturday game.
05:41So really thick and fast. The Thursday game, I'll be honest, I'm going to make some changes and draft in.
05:47And if anyone wants a game, let me know, because you're going to be playing on Thursday.
05:51But yeah, try and try and rest some of the boys for that, because you can't play Saturday, Monday, Thursday,
05:57Saturday, I guess.
05:58So yeah, we'll see how we get on.
06:00Yeah. And obviously, you know, with the position you're in, obviously you wanted to secure those playoffs.
06:04That's obviously got to take priority, isn't it?
06:05A hundred percent. Yeah, we like that cup, but it's just unfortunate and necessary evil at the moment where you've
06:10got so many games,
06:11you can't, you can't field your strongest 11 every game.
06:13Yeah.
06:13I think.
06:14Yeah.
06:14Well, we should just have a good job.
06:14Yeah.
