00:00Lots, yeah, lots, lots.
00:02I think we changed a few things.
00:03Obviously, Frog came in defensively.
00:05That was something that we needed to do to tighten things up and have more of a
00:13understanding or a desire to defend.
00:15We're still not there yet.
00:16We've still got a bit to go on that, but changed quite a few things system-wise.
00:20And obviously, we've got some new players in as well.
00:22So combinations are taking a bit of time to sort of gel, which is natural.
00:26Players that come from overseas, I think we expect miracles straight away.
00:30We expect them to be the best player in the competition after a few weeks.
00:34And sometimes, it takes them time to adjust to the climate, to the club, to the players.
00:38So we're aware that it's going to take us a little bit of time.
00:43But there has been some really promising signs in pre-season.
00:46I think we fit, we're moving well, we've got an understanding of what we need to do.
00:52But it's easy in practice.
00:54That's my big challenge for the players, is then now replicating it when it matters in a pressure situation,
01:00when the fans are watching, when there's a bit more spotlight on the players,
01:06actually being able to deliver it then.
