00:00Paul, another 3 points with a 1-0 win against the South Park side, who obviously clearly
00:05came here to sit in and try and frustrate. You just have to show patience there to get
00:10the job done?
00:11Yeah, definitely. I thought we passed it really well first half, especially the first 20 minutes
00:15we had. They had a purpose about us and it just didn't quite come off in the final third.
00:20But yeah, we got a little bit frustrated with ourselves I think towards the end of the half
00:24and yeah, their gameplay sort of worked for us.
00:27Yeah, I mean, obviously what they came here to do was pretty clear and so you sort of
00:31worked with them towards the end of that first half. At half-time, what was sort of the message
00:35just to sort of up it a bit in the second half?
00:38Yeah, just find a different way. We were quite predictable in what we did, passing it across
00:43the back, sideways, trying to find the pockets and maybe mix it up a little bit, spin one
00:48in behind, try and get the lids a little bit higher and one in behind. And yeah, just don't
00:53get frustrated with ourselves.
00:55And obviously you got great options off the bench and obviously Owen Dean off the bench
00:58was a really good finish to that because you had to sort of get it high past the keeper
01:01to get it in there.
01:02Yeah, it was a good goal. The subs changed the game for us. You know, what we brought
01:07on, Daz's touches and his way to passing, his dragging people out. And like you say,
01:13Owen's goal was a great finish.
01:15Obviously got Sam Evans in yesterday and obviously he came off the bench for his debut. Obviously
01:19pleased to get him in.
01:21Yeah, it's sort of come out of the blue. So yeah, excited to get him in. He's here for
01:27next season as well. Hopefully he'll get his job done. And yeah, he'll come on, you can
01:32see his physical presence and he's going to be a handful in the running as well.
01:36Zimmy hasn't even had a chance to train yet really with the boys, has he?
01:39No, he literally went through yesterday, late afternoon. So yeah, it's his first time meeting
01:43everyone and yeah, happy with what he's done.
01:47You signed up for next season as well, so obviously that's good to have that in the
01:50bank for next season as well.
01:52Yeah, it's great timing. Coming in in three seasons sometimes takes you a little bit of
01:56time to get going, but this is a good opportunity for him to get going, get to know the surroundings
02:01and hopefully hit the ground running come start of the season.
02:04As you say, the subs all made a difference. Daz as well, his touches and Owen Dean. That's
02:09been a bit of a theme throughout the season really and it shows the mentality of the squad,
02:13doesn't it? They know when they come on, they have to come and make that impact.
02:16Yeah, since we've been here, rolling into last year, it's all about the squad. There
02:21always will be a squad with us and yeah, they continue to play their part and they continue
02:25to do it, I'm sure.
02:27So you've just got to keep ticking them off as you try and get that title. There's another
02:32three points ticked off really, isn't there?
02:34Yeah, that's all it is. We want the good performances like Jersey during the week,
02:39Guernsey too during the week, but you don't always get it and this is the funny time of
02:44the season. There's scrapping and there's limitations and there's a little bit of desperation
02:48in our play at times because you know the finish is running close, but it's all important
02:52three points and we've taken it today.
02:54Yeah, and obviously as it gets close, that can play on minds a bit, can't it? And throughout
02:58the season, you do need those one nils. You dominate possession and territory, but you
03:03still got to get the win, haven't you?
03:05Yeah, you've still got to put the ball in the net and like you say, today they come
03:09back and made it hard work and at times we got a little bit desperate in certain moments,
03:14but once the goal came, it sort of settled us down and I felt comfortable sitting through
03:18and maybe had to...
03:19Yeah, and there's never really any threat, was there at all really?
03:22No, I think one cross at the end where Ryan's got a big foot to it, but yeah, barring that
03:27it was very comfortable.
03:28And all you can do is keep taking care of your own business, which you are. Obviously
03:32Kingstonians are losing as we speak, but obviously we don't know the full time result, but if
03:36they do, obviously that's another boost, but you just keep taking care of your own business.
03:39Yeah, we take care of our own business. We're down to single figures now, nine games, so
03:44we've got three tough games coming up, two of them being here and one being away at Ascot.
03:49Like I say, you can't always turn in a week's football, so we've got to be prepared Wednesday
03:54and we go again.
03:55Yeah, it is this real thick and fast march it's been, hasn't it? It's a key month on
04:00paper and obviously delivery so far, but another quick turnaround on Wednesday at home again.
04:05Yeah, it's been a tough march, tough march on paper and we're coming through it, so like
04:10I say, we go back to it, we're going to take another one on.
04:13And just thoughts on Hayden Yarding on Wednesday?
04:16Yeah, that home side, they've got momentum, watching them on Friday night, and yeah, real
04:22good side going forward and one, I think it's going to be a quick game.
