00:01Paul, 3-1 win against the Tunbridge Angels.
00:03Came from behind early on and got the three points.
00:06Thoughts on the game?
00:07Yeah, I thought it was a real competitive game today.
00:09Credit to both sets of players.
00:11They give it a little and there's some good football on the show as well.
00:14Yeah, it was sort of a game.
00:15You were a couple of points ahead of them going into it in the playoffs.
00:18Obviously, you moved five clear.
00:19So, it was a good sort of barometer maybe of where you are
00:22and how you're going at the moment?
00:23Yeah, definitely.
00:24Letting out a good side.
00:26They showed it today and let these teams in and around
00:29us and these are the games you've got to win
00:31if you want to get in those power spots
00:34and I thought I've always adapted really well.
00:36Had the blow of going behind to a good finish
00:38but didn't drop at all from that and came back strongly.
00:41Yeah, it's a funny game in terms of big moments.
00:45George could have put us 1-0 up,
00:46two minutes later we find ourselves 1-0 down
00:48and at 1-0 they had a massive chance to go 2-1 up
00:52and two minutes later they find ourselves 2-1 down.
00:55So, yeah, it sort of swung to and fro
00:57but we had enough quality in the end.
01:00Marcel with the equaliser, did well down the right here
01:02sort of going forward and then finished it off into the corner.
01:06Yeah, it was an out all game.
01:08Again, really another solid performance from him today.
01:11Couldn't quite see from Marcel, you know,
01:13did it take a deflection or did he kick it into the ground?
01:16But it was a fully deserved equaliser
01:19and it had been harsh going up on there.
01:21Yeah, even before that goal he had been sort of getting in down there, hadn't he?
01:25And sort of creating chances, cutting the ball back and delivering, hadn't he?
01:28So, yeah.
01:29Yeah, we got in a lot of times, you know,
01:31but we seemed to choose to cut back quite a lot
01:33and it just didn't quite come off.
01:35And sort of the cutback was all on your best enemy today
01:37in terms of, you know, them breaking on us.
01:40And sort of right back at the start of the season,
01:42had been a bit of a tough position with injuries,
01:44but since Marcel's come in, he's sort of really made it his own, hasn't he?
01:47Really impressed.
01:48Yeah, he's come in, he's perfect for the formation that we planned,
01:50the way we played, you know, perfect replacement for Jack Dean at the minute.
01:54And yeah, he's been a breath of fresh air.
01:56Half-time at 1-1, sort of playing pretty well,
01:59but thoughts going into that second half?
02:01Yeah, I just said, you know, credit to him for getting back into the game,
02:03I thought he was the better side.
02:04And it was just a matter of, like, just tidying a little few things up with,
02:08you know, like I said, the cutbacks.
02:10You know, can we physical across the box and change it up a little bit?
02:13And just areas where we give the ball away, you know,
02:16you've got to be a little bit more tidy.
02:17And then it was there for the taking and, yeah, it finally came.
02:22So, obviously, George had a big chance for you at the start
02:23and they had that big chance, didn't they?
02:25Sort of here at the clock end.
02:26But then you punished them, you know, straight away to go down,
02:29you know, a couple of minutes later to go in front.
02:31Yeah, you know, good impact from the subs.
02:33You know, Lou's come on, he's disappointed.
02:34He's out of the team at the minute, but he's had to come on at left back
02:37and his towering header at the back post went flying in there.
02:40And, you know, that's it, Daz.
02:42And that's the bit of luck that we sort of needed.
02:44Yeah, as you say, yeah.
02:46Daz was just in the right place, wasn't he, when it dropped to him there?
02:48Yeah, right time, right place.
02:49You know, sort of gauging, you know, the header, following it up.
02:53And it's landed in those mid-drift areas, I should say.
02:57And the third one to finish it off.
02:59Bob's curled it lovely into the bottom corner there, hasn't he?
03:01Just to wrap it up.
03:02Yeah, you know, that goal deserved the game, really.
03:06Because it was a great team goal on the break from one side to the other,
03:11then bent in the corner.
03:13And, yeah, that was fully deserved to win the game.
03:16Yeah, it was a good yardstick today, a good three points against the team
03:19who were sort of around you.
03:20And you were in the playoffs anyway, but you sort of go up to fourth
03:23and it's sort of all, you know, a nice place to be
03:25and all to look forward to, sort of, yeah.
03:27Yeah, it's been one of them, you know.
03:29We've been around it and we sort of let ourselves down a little bit
03:33with the follow-up game to, you know, getting that top pack.
03:36And we've done it today and we've got, you know,
03:39we've got a big month ahead of us, so we've got to build them.
03:41Yeah, so it really backs up Chelmsford, doesn't it?
03:43You know, sort of that impressive performance away.
03:45You've gone and backed that up today, really, haven't you?
03:47Yeah, yeah, we've got some big games coming up.
03:49We've got a trophy next week with Ed Fleet.
03:51And then after that, Maidstone, Maidled and then followed by Ed Fleet again.
03:56So there's some big games coming up and, you know,
03:59ones we've got to look forward to.
04:00So, yeah, real big games.
04:02And Ed Fleet and the trophy, I mean, obviously you've got a full reach
04:05to prepare for it and obviously they're going well,
04:07but obviously to play them in a trophy game a couple of weeks before the league,
04:10sort of a good sort of look at them, I guess, really, isn't it?
04:13Yeah, it's a good look at them, you know, vice versa.
04:17Yeah, not ideal, but, you know, it's a competition where you come in a bit late
04:20and, you know, you're four games or so away from a semi-final.
04:23So I wanted to get some boys a game as well to see where they're able to push on.
04:28So, yeah, we'll take that one as it comes up during the week.
04:31Yeah, obviously, in the playoffs, well placed, but that's the priority of the league.
04:35But the trophy, you'll take it and obviously give it a good go, won't you?
04:38Yeah, we take it, yeah, we enjoy it.
04:40We're training this week really well.
04:42Then, yeah, we'll look forward to that.
04:43Then we'll look forward to getting back to the league.
