00:00In the midfield at the moment, is the competition as strong as it's been while you've been here maybe?
00:06It's right up there anyway. The lads are playing really well. If you look at Whitey, we know how good he is.
00:11Ledo's come back this pre-season and been brilliant so far. He scored the other day and Stefan's come in and been really good.
00:16So it's healthy competition. Not speaking for the others, but for me personally, it just makes you more at it during the week.
00:25Hopefully, you go and take a chance if you do get it at the weekend and you know that there's more than capable players to take your place if you're not.
00:31In the recruitment summer, do you look around and see a lot of quality?
00:35Yes, when you look at the squad we've got, there's a lot of quality there and there's real potential for us to do something in this league.
00:43It's just using it and getting that consistency and building on positive performances and then I'm sure we can do something quite exciting.
00:50Does his style suit you down to the ground? He wants to be aggressive, doesn't he?
00:54I think it does, yes. He's really big on being aggressive out of possession, a structured press and all that sort of thing.
01:00To me, that's ideal. Being aggressive off the ball and jumping all over teams and it's been really good so far.
01:08I've only had a couple of games to taste it, but I'm really enjoying it.
01:11His detail has been praised by a lot of people, but does he give it to you quite simply?
01:15Because he mentioned that bullet point, does he give it across to you as well as he can?
01:18Yes, it's just a lot of clarity with the position you're in. You know exactly what he wants from you and that's what you want.
01:24You don't want any grey areas and I think when everyone's doing the job that he asks, you can see that we look like a really good front footed, aggressive team.
01:32If you can pair that with good moments on the ball, then it's only going to be good going forward.
01:37Do you feel like the ceiling for you as a team could suddenly be quite high because it's an ambitious way of playing, isn't it?
01:43Yes, I think so. I think it suits us all because we've got a strong, physically good team and a lot of good technicians as well if we use it right.
01:49If we do what he's asking, week in, week out, then it's only going to be good going forward.
