Firstly, how do you feel the game went on Sunday from a team point of view ?

I THOUGHT WE DID WELL. WE DEFENDED SOLIDLY AND WERE KNOCKING THE BALL ABOUT WELL. WE CREATED A FEW CHANCES AND SHOULD HAVE POSSIBLY SCORED MORE, BUT IT'S ALWAYS NICE TO KEEP A CLEAN SHEET AND COME AWAY WITH THE WIN, SO ON THAT SIDE OF THING'S, I'M PLEASED.

How did you feel your partnership worked with Ross up front ?

IT'S THE FIRST TIME WE'VE PLAYED TOGETHER AND IT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING TO TAKE TIME TO GEL, BUT OVERALL I THINK IT WORKED. WE ALL KNOW ROSS HAS GOT BAGS OF PACE...MY JOB WAS TO TRY AND WIN THINGS IN THE AIR FOR HIM TO RUN ONTO, OR FOR ME TO HOLD IT UP TO BRING OTHERS INTO THE PLAY. IT'S BEEN A FEW YEARS SINCE I'VE PLAYED UP FRONT, BUT I THINK I CAN DO A JOB THERE GIVEN A RUN IN THAT POSITION.

What impressed you most about this Sunday's game?

OUR TEMPERAMENT. WE ALL KNOW WHAT WENT ON WITH THIS TEAM LAST YEAR, SO IT WAS NICE TO SEE US JUST GET ON WITH THE GAME DESPITE THEIR NIGGLING. ALSO THE FACT THAT WE KEPT ANOTHER CLEAN SHEET IS ENCOURAGING, SO ON THAT, THE DEFENCE SHOULD BE APPLAUDED.

As one of COBS longest serving players, how does this team compare to previous teams?

WELL, SEEING AS THIS IS MY 15TH CONSECUTIVE SEASON WITH CHELSFIELD, I'VE SEEN A FEW TEAMS COME AND GO. OUR FIRST SENIOR TEAM 7 SEASONS AGO TOOK SOME BEATING, BUT THAT WAS IN THE 4TH DIVISION SO THE OPPOSITION WASN'T AS GOOD AS IT IS NOW. ON PAPER, THIS YEARS TEAM IS DEFINITELY THE BEST, BUT WE HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE IF IT GELS ON THE PITCH. OVERALL THOUGH, THE SQUAD IS VERY STRONG AND THERE'S QUALITY BACK UP IN EVERY POSITION AS WELL AS SEVERAL VERSATILE PLAYERS THAT CAN PLAY IN DIFFERENT POSITIONS.

Is the new formation working and do you think this will be effective throughout the season ?

YES, IT IS WORKING. IT'S CREATED THE BEST DEFENCE WE'VE HAD IN YEARS, BUT WE SEEM TO BE LACKING IN GOALS. IT MAY BE A SEASON OF GRINDING OUT VICTORIES, BUT UNTIL WE GET ANOTHER PROLIFIC GOALS CORER THEN WE'LL HAVE TO SETTLE FOR THAT. ANYWAY, AS LONG AS WE'RE WINNING, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

Onto this Sunday's game, what do COBS need to do in order to overcome Poverest this time round?

PLAY PATIENTLY LIKE WE DID IN THE 1ST HALF AGAINST THEM IN THE CUP A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. THEY WERE GETTING MORE AND MORE FRUSTRATED AS THE HALF WORE ON AND WE EVENTUALLY BROKE THEM DOWN. WE THEN DECIDED TO TOTALLY CHANGE OUR GAME FOR THE 2ND HALF AND START HITTING IT LONG TO OUR STRIKERS, WHO IN ALL DUE RESPECT TO THEM, ARE NOT GOING TO WIN HEADER AFTER HEADER AGAINST CENTRE BACKS OF POVEREST'S CALIBRE.

Do you believe this team can actually win the league this season or get promoted?

YES I DO, I CAN'T SEE ANY REASON WHY NOT. WE'VE ALREADY BEATEN TOTAL AND VALLEY VALIANTS WHO WERE TIPPED TO BE CHALLENGING THIS YEAR AND WE'VE GOT 9 POINTS OUT OF A POSSIBLE 12. THE GAMES AGAINST PRINCE OF WALES ARE GOING TO BE MASSIVE, BUT WE'VE BEATEN THEM SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND LIKE I SAID EARLIER, WE'VE GOT AN EVEN BETTER TEAM ON PAPER THIS YEAR. WE'RE AIMING FOR THE TITLE, BUT WE'D SETTLE FOR PROMOTION.

Finally, how do you feel your performances have been on the pitch this season ?

VARIED. TO BE HONEST, I HAVEN'T PLAYED CONSISTENTLY IN ONE POSITION SO IT'S HARD TO ADAPT EACH WEEK. IN THE FEW GAMES THAT WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR, I'VE PLAYED CENTRE BACK, DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER, CENTRE MIDFIELDER AND CENTRE FORWARD! I DON'T CARE WHERE I PLAY AS LONG AS I'M PLAYING, BUT I'M DEFINITELY LOOKING TO IMPROVE MY PERFORMANCES AND HOPEFULLY CHIP IN WITH A FEW GOALS TOO. I KNOW IF I DON'T, THEN THERE'S TOO MUCH QUALITY ON THE BENCH TO KEEP ME IN THE TEAM EVERY WEEK.
