00:01Adam, first pre-season friendly against Farnham and the Phyllis Tuck World Trophy.
00:05Obviously defeated against a strong team and a lot of trialists today.
00:09What do you think of what you saw?
00:11It's always going to be a difficult start for us.
00:14Farnham, a well-established team over the last two, three years now.
00:19It's going to be a real tough challenge, particularly where we're at as a squad.
00:25But we said to the lads, we ain't going to sit in and try and contain.
00:31Let's try and work on a few bits.
00:33We worked on the first half in particular.
00:35I thought we did come out with some good patterns and there's some positive bits to take away from it.
00:40Not probably the day we wanted, but there's definitely positives to take.
00:47Obviously it's quite a new group, a young group, trialists as well.
00:51Presumably early in pre-season as you say, just working on patterns and minutes and the way you want to play and all that sort of stuff at the moment really.
01:00Yeah, that's it. Obviously it's a young group, but we've got experience to add to that.
01:07But there's some good, talented youngsters there. That will definitely help us throughout the year.
01:13So yeah, now it's exciting. Some exciting players coming in.
01:17And what did you say at half-time? Since we said at the first half, I know there was some patterns you liked there.
01:22So what do you say in the session then?
01:24Yeah, now at half-time it was a little bit of, to be fair we praised them because there were some good bits.
01:29Particularly sort of building in our final third to get out.
01:33So we give them some praise there. We tried to tweak a few little bits, be a little bit more aggressive.
01:41Which didn't quite work out, probably how we planned it.
01:44But there's some pre-seasons about getting fitness into their legs and working on them patterns that we've done.
01:51Obviously a good crowd today, good for the club, and obviously a good cause as well.
01:55So yeah, good things to do there.
01:58Yeah, no, absolutely. Great day for the club.
02:00And obviously for the charity, raise as much money as we can.
02:03And it's obviously something that's going to be a yearly thing, which is exciting.
02:08But no, a very good day. A lot of people turned out, which is good.
02:11Yeah, we all shot Next Friendly next Saturday.
02:14We saw this one to look forward to.
02:16And how's the week sort of build up? You know, a lot of training this week, this is a build-up.
02:19Yeah, so now we'll have a game Tuesday again.
02:21So we've arranged another game in between the two now, away to Midhurst.
02:26And then we'll train Thursday, just again to refine little bits and build the next sort of step almost into where we're trying to go.
