Yeah, we had a tough start. It's nice to get a couple of wins under our belt. I think we're
00:13
learning a lot. It's a big learning process. But we are getting better week on week. There's
00:19
going to be a couple more tough challenges over the next couple of weeks coming up, but
00:23
I think that couple of wins sets us up nicely just for a bit of confidence and a bit of
00:27
boost in morale for that group.
00:29
You mentioned it, you knew it was going to be tough at the start. You've got a fresh
00:32
group of players coming together. It always takes time for them to gel. But some of those
00:35
teams you did face early on were some of the better teams in this league, weren't they?
00:40
Yeah, I mean you look at some of the results and I don't think all have lost a game yet.
00:44
We pushed them close first game 3-2. We went to solid a little bit after and lost 6-1.
00:50
But was it a 6-1 game? Not really. And they're notorious for being good at home. So you look
00:57
at Blackburn, they're pretty stacked in terms of lines. And we had Hull again here and again.
01:02
The scoreline probably didn't reflect the game as much as it should have done. But it
01:05
was a good outing I think. And I think it was a good test for us to find where we are
01:09
in that league against some of that better opposition and know that we can compete a
01:12
little bit.
01:13
I was going to say, now you've got a couple of wins under your belt, both against Windsor
01:16
as I say. Now you've got one at home as well. Is it a case of that confidence will just
01:20
start to come? And have you noticed that on the pitch?
01:22
I think it's a bit of that monkey off the back scenario. But yeah, you can see boys
01:27
are getting better week on week, certainly in practice as well as games. We knew it was
01:32
going to be a big learning curve. We're a new group and some players have not played
01:35
this level before even. So it's going to take time. But I think from my point of view and
01:41
from a bigger point of view, Ryan and Steve, I think it's going in the right direction
01:45
as to where we want to be.
01:47
This team isn't necessarily, in these early days, winning titles or anything like that.
01:52
It's about development, isn't it?
01:53
No, we need to compete and we want to compete in that league. Obviously, we'd like to be
01:58
there about some terms and positions and things like that. But it's not the be all and end
02:02
all. The main focus on this team for us is getting some of that local talent through
02:07
and getting it up to this Knights team and trying to keep them squads quite young and
02:11
get them experience when they're young at that senior level.
