Durham's Matthew Potts has said that he cannot fault the effort of his teammates
00:04
as they endured a tough first day against Surrey at the Oval,
00:08
picking up only three wickets.
00:10
Yeah, you know, I mean, I can't fault the lads' efforts today.
00:13
They put 110% in and we know we probably came up short with the ball
00:17
and some good batting on a good batting track.
00:20
So, you know, yeah, pretty rough day, 30-odd degrees,
00:24
hard work and tall for the boys.
00:25
But, yeah, we'll pick ourselves up and there's still a long way to go
00:28
in this game for the next three days.
00:30
When you got to the ground this morning and had a look at that pitch,
00:33
what was sort of the talk amongst you guys as the bowlers?
00:36
Did you think there was going to be something in there?
00:37
Well, when we had a look at it, we thought there was a little bit of green grass on it.
00:41
It was still pretty hard.
00:43
We thought either or it was going to do a bit.
00:45
We knew that if we were bowling, it was going to be trying to bowl them out in a day.
00:49
We didn't think it was certainly going to be a pitch where you kind of knock everyone over.
00:54
And, you know, it's actually proved to play a hell of a lot better than we first thought.
00:57
You know, it hasn't really moved too much all day.
01:00
And it's came up in the back quite nicely after the first little period.
01:02
So, you know, kind of credit there, guys.
01:05
They batted well.
01:06
And we probably just missed our straps a little bit.
01:08
And Middlesbrough's new head coach, Rob Edwards, has stressed that the supporters of the Teesiders
01:13
are the most important people at the club, as he has looked to strike up a good relationship with them.
01:19
The fans are the most important people at any football club because they're there before us and they'll be there long after us as well.
01:27
And I've always said that, I've always maintained that.
01:29
So I want a really good relationship with them.
01:31
But we get that.
01:33
We earn that with performances and results.
01:36
So I'm under no illusions as to that.
01:40
I've been lucky in the clubs that I've been at previously, Forest Green and then obviously Luton again.
01:44
And then we started that quite quickly and got people onside, you know, fast.
01:48
So it's all well and good talking, a good game.
01:50
We've got to be able to go and deliver that.
01:52
And, you know, so there'll be expectancy here.
01:56
You know, and I'm up for that.
01:57
I'm up for that.
01:58
You mentioned the Riverside.
01:59
You've had a few experiences in the past.
02:01
How do you reflect on your time at that?
02:03
It's an amazing place to play and a really difficult place to come and coach against.
02:08
You know, when these fans are at it, I've felt that whenever I've come up to the North East, to be honest.
