00:00Paul, 2-2 draw against Swandeen, thoughts on that game?

00:04Yeah, strange game.

00:07We felt we were as comfortable first half just passing it.

00:11Nothing really happened, it was a bit of a dead half.

00:14But yeah, it was one that we were as comfortable with.

00:16We got a goal and then we gave a sloppy goal away.

00:19So we equaled that up, yeah.

00:21There wasn't really much too much to talk about in the first half.

00:24So you got the goal through steps.

00:27So you got yourself ahead and looked pretty comfortable.

00:29It was just a ball over the top they scored from really, wasn't it?

00:32Yeah, just a ball over the top.

00:34We just made the wrong decision.

00:36We were treated to the goal line rather than go and see the ball out.

00:39That would have caused us no danger.

00:41But yeah, those things happen.

00:43We went in at half-time and we were confident and comfortable.

00:47But we had to make a couple of false changes at half-time.

00:50I think that showed in the second half.

00:52I thought we were poor second half.

00:54And most probably, maybe a little bit lucky to get away with a point.

00:57I think they looked like a team that was going to score.

00:59What was the message at half-time then?

01:01Obviously saying false changes.

01:03Nothing major.

01:05Just tidy up a little bit.

01:07Be a bit braver passing the ball forwards.

01:09And that was it.

01:11And stick to it.

01:13But we went way off that second half.

01:15We had no shape about us.

01:17We sort of done our own thing.

01:19Yeah, it was a real dire second half.

01:22I guess that's an obvious thing.

01:24It shows the importance of sticking to the plan.

01:26Yeah, sticking to the plan.

01:28We got by over the last three or four weeks.

01:31We've been alright.

01:34But I think it's starting to highlight now.

01:36Missing Daz and missing Jack Dean.

01:38Massive players as you keep playing.

01:41Punching the games out.

01:43It highlights it.

01:45Any news on the tour and returns for them?

01:47Yeah, maybe ten days for Jack Dean.

01:49Daz looked to be involved next Saturday.

01:51Obviously you did have Pat back today.

01:53And Max Meaton back as well.

01:55Good to have them back.

01:57Yeah, I think that showed first half.

01:59Distribution with Pat.

02:01And obviously Max giving us the out.

02:03But we had to take him off at half-time.

02:05Just to make sure he doesn't pull up again.

02:08That was a big miss in the second half.

02:11Yeah.

02:13Owen Dean driving into the box for the penalty.

02:15And then sticking it away.

02:18Yeah, we know he's got that in the locker.

02:21He's a young lad and it's a miss.

02:23It wasn't really going for him today.

02:25But he stuck to it and got his reward.

02:27With the run.

02:29Still top of the league though.

02:31Still in a very good position.

02:33We have a long way to go as well.

02:35It's one of them. It's football.

02:37It's reality football now.

02:39We're going to lose and draw games.

02:41It's how we react to certain situations.

02:43So yeah, we're in a good position.

02:45We haven't lost a game with top of the table after 12.

02:47So yeah.

02:49The boys coming back is going to be a welcome thing.

02:53Yeah, it's 29 points in 12 games.

02:55It's basically 2.5 points a game.

02:57Keep that up. It's going to be a very strong season.

03:00Yeah, we've just got to get through this little patch.

03:02Which we're doing.

03:04But we want to be better at how we do it.

03:08Quick turnaround now for Ashford on Tuesday?

03:11Tuesday, yeah.

03:13It's a tough game here.

03:15So we know it's going to be another difficult, fast, in-your-face game.

03:17Not the greatest pitch for us over in Govan.

03:19We seem to lose players over there.

03:21So yeah, it's just one we've got to dust ourselves down today.

03:24And go again on Tuesday.

03:26Big crowd today. Over 600.

03:28Obviously great to see that again.

03:30Yeah, the crowd's great.

03:32We're not playing at home.

03:34Just shame it's a bit of a dull affair today.

03:36But most weeks we give them something to cheer about.

03:38So yeah, it's just a little bit of an off day today.

03:40But yeah, great turnout.
