00:00A fully fit squad must be brilliant, Paul, when you only walked in a week ago.

00:04Yeah, nice, it's good.

00:06Like I said, I think it was good to do the night as well, to give minutes.

00:09We've got people fully fit, but a lot of players haven't played enough minutes.

00:14So that's pleasing, one or two with big 90 minutes, which is great.

00:19And not only that, I thought the performance was good.

00:24People say it's a headache then, trying to pick a team.

00:28I'd rather have it like that all the time.

00:29It's much better looking around at the squad and the players on the bench,

00:32knowing they're going to come on and impact the game,

00:35than looking around hoping.

00:37So, as I said before, we won't do anything with 11, 15, 16.

00:41We need the whole group to buy in and to be ready to perform.

00:45And then, when you get that opportunity, they need to take it and then stay in the team.

00:49And that's how we'll be.

00:50We'll be really fair and we'll be really...

00:56Well, we challenge the players, but really be supportive of how they perform.
