DK: First of all, congratulations on today's excellent win, you must be delighted?
Brad: Yeah I’m buzzing it’s been something I feel is long overdue for the lads to get a good result and even better considering the result when we played them at their place so a good day all round.
Ben: Cheers mate, yeah think all of the boys are buzzing it’s been a few weeks coming now where the results haven’t shown the performance levels but today we got what we deserved.
DK: It sounds like a clinical, resolute all round team performance, would you agree?
Brad: Yeah I think clinical sums it up really as I think we didn’t play as well in possession as we have in recent weeks but we took the chances we had very well two set pieces and two great goals from Ev(an Gledhill) and Ads (Adam Edser).
Ben: Yeah totally agree felt we took our chances when they came and defended really well all game limiting them to not a lot at all.
DK: How's it felt to be back at Needham over the last few weeks, Ben?
Ben: I'm buzzing to be back! I’ve gained experience and learned a lot over my few months away from the club but love being back feels like i’m home again!
DK: How's it felt to be back playing with your brother, and both keeping an important clean sheet today?
Brad: Yeah Ben's been a good addition back into the side, a position that we had been weaker in early in the season and I think him and Olly have been a great partnership so far. A clean sheet is always a nice bonus on top of three points.
Ben: Yeah it was great to keep a clean sheet today like I said the performances of late have deserved the clean sheet and the result today. Doing it with your brother in the same back line will always be a special feeling too.
DK: Today must feel even more special given that the last few weeks you've put in brilliant performances against teams towards the top of the table and been unlucky to get a result?
Brad: Yeah the lads have been really good in the last few weeks and we’ve got unlucky to not take home more points than we have but a win today puts us on the right track and hopefully we can build from that going into the second half of the season.
Ben: Yeah exsclty just reiterating my previous points that over the last 3 weeks performances haven’t warranted a lot more points and today showed exactly why we all believe we can get out of the situation we are in.
DK: It's Stanway Pegasus away next week to finish off 2024, what type of game are you expecting?
Brad: Any game away from home is always going to be tougher and stanway are a good side who are fighting at the top of table. But I feel if the boys being their a-game and play like we did today we have a good chance of turning anyone in the league over so looking forward to it and hopefully can finish off 2024 with 3 points.
Ben: Stanway are always a great team in this league as proved this season with being high up in the table but if we can keep our levels up with how they were today i think we can finish off 2024 with another 3 points no matter who we play i think the levels we can reach like we did today we can beat anyone in this league.
DK: How have you found this season from a personal perspective?
Ben: This season has been a roller coaster for me personally having been at 3 clubs now i’ve learnt a lot from being at woodbridge and stowmarket and am very grateful to both clubs for the experience they gave me but the best thing for me was coming back here for the rest of the season and maybe even further in the future i’m loving my football again now and am looking forward to hopefully a really strong 2025 and all of us coming together to get us out of the bottom 3.
