The attacking areas of the pitch in particular, we're blessed with a lot of options, all slightly different.
00:07
Of course, Madders and Jack both give us something different as well.
00:12
So there have been tough calls, there have been calls that we've gone over and over and over as a group of staff
00:19
to try to be fair, to try to get the right rationale.
00:25
We back our decisions, but we recognise we could have gone a different route.
00:32
Both of the boys are big characters, fabulous team-mates, great boys to work with.
00:40
So, yes, sad to have to deliver that news to them.
00:44
Yes, it's been really tough.
00:46
Obviously, Madders and Jack are probably two of my best mates in the squad.
00:50
I've probably spent most of my time with them since I've been here.
00:53
So, obviously, seeing them go, it's not a nice feeling.
00:57
But they both just said then, before they went, Madders last night, Jack just now, that they wish us all the best.
01:02
They're really positive and upbeat. Obviously, they're gutted that they've been left out of the squad.
01:06
But I think that's one thing that Gareth's got spot on, is that we're so close as a group
01:11
and there's no-one that's feeling really bitter about being left out.
01:14
It's more about the team and them guys wished us all the best, as did all the others.
01:20
Yes, I'm obviously gutted.
01:23
In football, it's one of those things, managers have tough decisions to make and that's part of the role that comes with it.
01:30
So, there's not really much I can say on that.
01:32
Obviously, I'm gutted that they're gone, but they're really, really supportive of what we're about to do.
