00:00 First up, I wanted to ask, Danny speaks a lot about running stats.

00:03 You seem to be getting up the field a little bit more, sort of on the ball.

00:07 Is that something, is that a confidence thing with yourself?

00:10 Is it something that Danny's asked you to do?

00:12 I noticed there was one that you got to the edge of the box the other day

00:14 and then sort of thought, "I don't know where to go now."

00:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:19 So, it's obviously something that's a bit different for me,

00:22 but yeah, it's something that I've been working on

00:25 and they've been advising me to, you know,

00:27 or helping me to see different pitches and different things

00:30 that I may not have seen before, so it's a work in progress for me.

00:34 But yeah, I've been really enjoying it

00:36 and, yeah, definitely it's something that I feel comfortable doing now

00:40 and it's something I enjoy doing, to be honest,

00:42 but the run back is a bit tiring sometimes.

00:45 Positionally for you, under both Chisco and Danny,

00:49 you've played in a couple of different roles this season.

00:51 Just on a personal level, how nice is it that you've had two managers here,

00:56 especially who have trusted you to play in different places?

00:59 Yeah, I mean, it's been a massive thing for me

01:04 because I think it's good to be able to play multiple positions

01:08 and be able to give a good account of yourself.

01:11 But I've been enjoying, honestly, I've been really enjoying left back.

01:13 It's been a different challenge for me and obviously in this league,

01:16 there's some big hitters in this league this year,

01:18 so to go up against some great wingers and that,

01:20 I've been really enjoying it.

01:22 I've been really enjoying it and I hope that I've been able to,

01:25 you know, show that on the pitch that I'm hard-working as well

01:28 and that I can play these positions and I can fight my own.

01:32 And if I'm honest, I feel like I have been.

01:35 Has it been helpful having a former England international like Chris Powell there

01:38 to help you through playing left back?

01:40 Yeah, definitely.

01:41 Yeah, I've been asking him for advice and obviously he's, you know,

01:44 he's done it all before at the top.

01:46 So, yeah, it's been great.

01:47 It's been a great addition as well, because when he came in,

01:49 I was very happy to find that he was obviously coming in

01:52 and then I just, you know, I just pick his brains and learn from him.

01:55 How has the technical team been in general?

01:57 Obviously, there's some real calibre in there, you know,

02:00 like, Sasha's been at Man United,

02:02 Chris has worked with Drew Bellingham in England.

02:05 Like, looking at the technical team in general,

02:09 how impressed have you been by all of them?

02:12 Honestly, the recruitment has been amazing to be honest,

02:15 it's been very good.

02:16 And, yeah, like I said, it's not just the boss with the incredible detail,

02:21 that's Sasha's detail, everyone's detail, all the coaches,

02:23 everyone has been so good in training.

02:26 You may not see something in training, they'll stop it,

02:28 show you what you could have done in these situations

02:31 and then you just adjust from there.

02:33 It's been really, it's been a good flow as well, yeah.
