Brad Potts interview

Transcript

00:00Do you think Plymouth matter rocked the players subconsciously, confidence-wise or not?

00:03Because I think even though results before that weren't there, their performance is really strong.

00:08Yeah, by one or two games, I think you could tell that we had a way of playing and what we were trying to do.

00:13And the Plymouth game, we should have been about a sixth and a fifth, if I'm being honest with you.

00:19It is one of those, you come back home, we couldn't believe ourselves that we actually drew the game.

00:25But it is what it is and it's part of football.

00:29We have to bounce back from that and we didn't.

00:31I think we lost our next game and obviously when you're losing games, not picking up as many points,

00:36it does put pressure on each game that's coming.

00:39So it's down to us, we can't get help from anyone else.

00:44The players have to do it on the pitch and make sure we do to get them results.

00:50You finished 10th last year, didn't you?

00:51But do you think there was actually quite a lot to fix because there was that really good run at the start of last season

00:56and then it was an up and down team, wasn't it?

00:58And then he's come in after the pre-season, so it's not been ideal, really.

01:02Yes, I think so.

01:03I think we obviously did well on patches last season,

01:06but I think there's been a common theme since I've been at the club.

01:09We go on good runs and then we go on bad runs.

01:12There's not really much consistency.

01:17So, yes, we just need to try and get back on track, first and foremost.

01:21And we can't look too far ahead, apart from tomorrow night, because we know we need to start winning games.

01:27What are the big changes you've tried to make?

01:28Is it making you a bit more aggressive and raising standards a bit, or is that not fair?

01:33I think, first and foremost, we should have standards anyways for ourselves as a team,

01:39and we know what we need to do.

01:41But, yes, you can see in the games we've been aggressive, out of possession.

01:45We've kind of looked solid.

01:47And probably being a bit more attacking,

01:52I think we've found it probably harder against the likes of Derby and Millwall teams like that,

01:58who kind of just go along and you've got to win the second balls and things.

02:02But you can see against the top teams that we have, we have done well and we've been more on the front foot that way.
