00:00What an emphatic 4-0 win against Harrowborough side who were top of the league and have won every game and superb performance. You must have been really pleased with that?
00:09Yeah, I thought it was a little bit like last week. I thought we were good last week, especially with the ball. We just upped the standards again today.
00:19We were excellent throughout. I don't think really we had a moment off. I think Harrow had to cut the corners in the first half, which we dealt with and that was the end of Harrow.
00:29It was all 90 minutes really, wasn't it?
00:31It was, yeah. Relentless with it. Over in the second half when the game sort of slowed down, we just kept the ball really well. They must be knackered. They run some miles today.
00:42Obviously they'd had a good start and you'd have known that. You're obviously confident with your group and what you can do, but to get at them straight away like that must have been pleasing.
00:52Yeah, we had them watch them. We worked on them on training on Thursday and we knew what they had and where we'd expose it. Everything worked to treat today.
01:02There were a few good chances even before the first goal, weren't there?
01:06Yeah, Sam should have scored. He should have scored that one. There's a couple more in there. Even in the second half, greats come on and could have gone away.
01:17There were probably two or three assists today. Owen's it one. I believe it was safe. It was a pleasing little round.
01:25The first goal, Dad slips it through to Sam. It was a bit like the one that hit the bar. It was another through ball and this time he took it away, didn't he?
01:32Yeah, I think Dad's played three passes today in the first half. It's just cut the defence open at any level of football decision that he has. It was outstanding. Yeah, we put one of them away.
01:45Owen Dean gets the second, which obviously gives you that nice big gap in the game, doesn't it, to go 2-0?
01:51Yeah, I think the second one sort of shell-shocked him. I don't think they expected us to do what it was going to be about.
01:59Owen Dean, we've had him for a couple of years and he's coming through the club. There's so much potential in him. He's just going to get better and better.
02:10It's just how he plays. He's all-hearted. He's good in the air. He's strong. He runs with the ball. He's direct. We've got a good player there.
02:20He's come through with the club and come up the levels with the club and just keeps rising to it, really, doesn't he?
02:25He does, yeah. I think there's so much more to come from him. He's a long way off the finish line. He's got a great base. He's got good people around him. He's got a good team behind him.
02:37So, yeah, it'll be interesting to see where he goes.
02:40And then the third one just before half-time. That really, obviously, just before half-time really knocks anything out of them, really, Owen, again there, doesn't it?
02:47Yeah, the build-up to that was an excellent build-up. We kept it really well and worked the opening down the left-hand side. Great delivery by Max.
02:56Yeah, Owen got a bit fortunate a few times there to put it in there.
03:00Third-time finish, I think, in the end.
03:01Yeah, I think it was, yeah, from about a yard out. But you create that luck and, yeah, get happy.
03:07Three-and-a-half time, that's just been more the same. You did keep standards up in the second half, didn't you?
03:13Yeah, that's all we talked about was standards, you know. We see it so many times in this league and in all levels.
03:18You go three-and-a-half and you come out sloppy and get your legs up.
03:21And it's all about how we can impose ourselves for 90 minutes of the game and the standards that we set each other.
03:28We've just got to keep pushing the bar. Today was one of them where we just pushed the bar.
03:33And then, obviously, Owen had that spectacular volley well saved and then he does get his hat-trick a couple of minutes later on the rebound.
03:39Yeah, I thought the volley was an unbelievable technique, not to see it coming.
03:43And if I really deserved his hat-trick, you know, we'd put him off for his round of applause.
03:48You know, we could have kept him on. I think we could have ended up with five.
03:51Four-nil. Obviously, you were able to get the subs on nice and early.
03:54Obviously, give them the minutes and they sort of kept pushing as well, didn't they?
03:58Yeah, those good subs. We got rocked, really, at the start.
04:01You know, Turner back four pulled out in the warm-up.
04:03And then Max got a knock in the second half. So, you know, we lost three defenders today.
04:09But everyone just steps in and does a job, no complaints. Yeah, happy.
04:14Just a little knock for Max there, nothing too...
04:16Yeah, he's tender. He was a little bit tender before the game on his foot.
04:20And then he got caught on it and it just flared it up even more.
04:24So, yeah, nothing too serious, hopefully. Just a bit of pain for him.
04:28Obviously, a good signing to get great Evans in.
04:30And he obviously came off the bench for his debut and looked a threat and had a few chances.
04:34Yeah, yeah, real happy to get him in these days.
04:37He's almost like, that's it for us up the top. We're going to finish up.
04:41We've got a bit of everything, got good options.
04:44And yeah, once he picks up, he's a bright lad and he's willing to learn.
04:49Once he picks up, moving the ball, moving the ball that touch quicker, he's going to be a handful.
04:55Like we saw with the half hour he had today, everyone just bounced off him.
04:59And he's going to be some player.
05:01Start a nice, stick and fast run of five home games in a couple of weeks here.
05:05Yeah, we go again Tuesday with Westfield.
05:09Another tough one. We know what to expect from them.
05:13Yeah, we've got a tough one there.
05:15And then we follow up with another home one.
05:17So, yeah, at the moment, this is the place to be for us.
05:20I'd say three out of three. Just want to keep going now and bring on Westfield.
05:23Yeah, just keep going.
05:24Like last year, we took them off and we keep going.
05:27We've had moments we're up against it and asked to manage that and we recognise that.
05:33Yeah, we keep getting the backing we're getting from the crowd.
05:37It's excellent.
05:38Another good crowd today, which is obviously great.
05:40Yeah, great turnout.
05:41They're getting noisy, they're getting behind the boys.
05:44Yeah, we're all together at the minute. It's a real good place.
