00:00How do you feel you are getting on in terms of being able to explain to the players

00:05what it is you want from them, and them buying into that?

00:09I think we're on a good track, if that's the way to say it.

00:14But we have to understand that some of them are only here for three weeks,

00:18and quite a large part of our group is with us for three weeks.

00:22And it's not only about us, it's also about the opponent,

00:27and what they bring into the game, and I think I said it before,

00:30that Ipswich put a lot of energy into the first half to make it really difficult for us.

00:36Or we stepped up, or Ipswich were not able to keep bringing the same energy in the second half.

00:44I think it was a bit of both, and we got a bit more space,

00:50and then you can see how well these boys can play.

00:53But there's still a lot of work to do, but it was a good first step, especially the second half.

01:02And in making substitutions at half-time, when you look at the quality of the bench you've got,

01:07it must be great to see those options that you have,

01:11but in making sure that you are not afraid to make substitutions,

01:15are you partly learning more about the squad that you have,

01:19but also trying to create some competition?

01:22Well, I'm learning every day still about these players, about the individuals,

01:26and also how they cooperate with each other.

01:30For me, last week was not only important on Saturday,

01:34this Sunday was also really important, because I learned and saw there

01:38that the ones that didn't play on Saturday were able to bring a really good training session in on Sunday,

01:42and I think that's a really important thing for a team as well,

01:48because we all know that we're going to need many, many of them during the season

01:52for a lot of game minutes, and they brought in a really good training session on Sunday,

01:58and that will help them and us for the rest of the season.

02:03Yes, I am still learning new things about the players, which is normal,

02:08because like I just said, with some of them I only work for three weeks,

02:12so I'm still seeing new things from them.
