Chris, many congratulations. How delighted are you with just the whole team performance today?
00:05
I just think the whole day, really. I asked for support and noise and we got it.
00:13
The first thing that we needed to do was to be more like what we were in the second half,
00:20
which we did. So, yeah, again, learning, which we talked about, young group and we need to be front
00:26
foot, control the game, which we did. So I thank the supporters for their contribution because it
00:31
was really big. Energy wise, we changed it around. So I imagine there was a few
00:37
people scratching the red before the game and looking at the team selection, but it's my job
00:42
and the job of the coaches to make sure that we get that right from a physical point of view,
00:46
as well as a tactical point of view. And all the players that stepped in, McCallum, Brewster,
00:56
coming back in, made some big changes from Wednesday night. So the biggest thing is the team
01:02
and the football club gets results. And, you know, seven out of nine is a profitable
01:10
week for us and a good week for us. What does it say about where you think you've got the squad
01:15
right now that you can make six changes and there's not really a drop-off or a deviation or
01:20
too much fuss about that? Well, there can't be, but that's just the attitude of the players. So
01:25
they deserve all the credit that that brings. Whether it's a player that's going in, he's ready
01:32
to work. So physically he's ready, like Rhian was and Sam McCallum was and Shackleton was midweek
01:37
and Jez was today. And an attitude point of view, you know, there's no big time players here.
01:43
There's no arrogant ones. There's no stars of the show. The team is the star. The team is the main
01:48
focus. You know, I've left Gus out, you know, not dropped. It's a change. It's a change. Gus was
01:55
always going to come on the pitch. He's a huge player for us. We've made some other changes.
01:59
Siddy Peck has been outstanding, but we wanted to knit them two back together, Vinnie and Blassen.
02:04
I thought they were exceptional as well. So, you know, it's where we want to be culture-wise,
02:09
where we want to be as a group together and as a group, as a connected football club as well.
02:15
You know, when we're walking off and you see people, you know, staying and applauding you
02:20
and enjoying their football. I'm sure they are enjoying the football. I'm sure they're enjoying,
02:24
you know, with the ball, without the ball. The block, the Suter block first half, the Gilchrist
02:31
block second half, as much as some of the football that we played at times because we really controlled
02:36
that. I always believe it's quite difficult as well when you're on top of a game, because we
02:41
were. That's no disrespect to the opposition. We had control of the first half and we were good
02:47
value for being up in the game. It's quite easy to go off plan and players wanting to be stars of
02:55
the show, taking extra touch, running, do what they want to do, you know, hit a cross-field pass
02:59
or go for goal or do something a little bit different. You don't need to do anything different.
03:04
You just need to keep doing the same thing and repeat it and grind the opposition down.
03:09
And we did. The game opened up. The game comes to us like we've talked about. It did. We found the
03:15
finish. We were desperately hoping to find that next finish because Luton are spirited. They've
03:24
got character in the team. They've got men in the team and you never know. Something comes off a set
03:29
play or something comes off by a mistake by us. So we had to concentrate. We had to be clinical
03:34
and we had to make sure that we earned the right to win the game of football, which we did.
