Midfielder Ollie Saunders takes a look back at his first season with the Marketmen.
DK: Overall, how did you find the season from a personal perspective?
OS: Personally I really enjoyed the season as a whole. All the players, staff, fans, board etc are top so it made it so easy for me to come in and feel comfortable. Look were a good footballing side and I enjoy getting on the ball so I found it a very enjoyable season overall.
2. Can you pick 3 games in general that stood out to you?
OS: It’s hard to pick 3 games but from my memory games that really stood out would have to be the Weston game, Real Bedford away where I thought we were excellent and Spalding at home!
DK: A very good FA Cup run this season, what are your thoughts looking back?
OS: Yeah it’s always nice to have good cup runs, it would’ve been nice to go one further and make the first round but fingers crossed we can do that next season!
DK: A first Premier Cup triumph for you, how good did that feel?
OS: It felt great to be honest! I’ve had a few years playing in this cup and always tend to lose in finals usually to Needham🤣 so it was nice being on the right end of this one!
DK: A very professional Premier Cup run as well, winning it in style with a clean sheet?
OS: Yeah really good that stat actually! We’re really good at the back so it doesn’t surprise me but that’s a solid stat and something we can build on.
DK: Looking at the league campaign, obviously ended in gutting circumstances but there must be a lot of pride to have still finished towards the top end?
OS: Overall you can maybe say it was a decent season. However, I know my standards and the staff and all the lads standards are very high so we’re quite disappointed we didn’t make the playoffs in the end to be fair. We’ve gotta dust ourselves down and make sure we’re there or there abouts come next season!
DK: How do you reflect overall on the league campaign?
OS: Like I said, overall it’s not a bad season but we know where we want to be and where we think we should be so we will come back even stronger I’m sure of that.
DK: Would you still class the season, overall, as a successful one?
OS: I think it was fairly successful. Winning a trophy always makes a season pretty good so we can say we won some silverware and we had a good cup run but ultimately we wanted the playoffs and promotion.
DK: What targets do you have next season - both personally and as a team?
OS: Personally, I just want to affect as many games as possible try and standout and be the best I can be to help the team every single game. As a team I think we should be aiming for good cup runs and promotion as I believe we’re a great group!
DK: After a long season, you must be looking relishing the off season, or are you not much of a fan?
OS: It’s always nice to have a little break. It’s a long season and the travel we have to do especially can be tiring! So we will enjoy a little break but come pre season we’ll be 100% at it and ready to go again!
