00:00Bristol Rovers assistant head coach Rhys Carr was happy to maintain the Gassers' momentum

00:05during their pre-season campaign so far as they won 2-1 against Yeovil.

00:12We're pleased, number one, because we want to win games of football.

00:15Whether it's a friendly, whether it's every single game we compete in, we want to win.

00:19There's certain areas that we want to improve as well, but we'll take away the positives.

00:24But every game we play, the staff will come together, we'll review it, we'll debrief it with the players,

00:28we'll keep nipping away and trying to make little areas better so that it all comes together in the next game too.

00:34Now one of the certain positives was Kofi Shaw, goal and assist him today.

00:38What sort of impact do you think he can have?

00:40Yeah, he did great, didn't he? He's very energetic, he can cover the ground for us.

00:44He's an attack-minded midfielder and ultimately they get judged on goals and assists as well

00:48and he's come up with both today.

00:50I think until he stuck that one in the top corner with his left foot,

00:53we're probably all thinking perhaps you should slide this one to the runner,

00:56but he's got that quality and stick it into the top corner and then have the assist as well.

01:01Yeah, good performance from him.

01:02Oli made a real big impact in Spain.

01:04We don't want to put too much pressure on the young players,

01:06but how good is it to see that they can make an impact in games like these?

01:09It's brilliant, you know, and they're getting opportunities

01:11and when they get opportunities it's important that they take them.

01:14Our newly appointed Bristol City Assistant Head Coach Craig Fleming

01:18has said that he is excited to join the club.

01:21Yeah, great, very excited.

01:22Yeah, it's been a bit of a whirlwind, but yeah, thoroughly excited.

01:25Can't wait to get going.

01:26You mentioned a bit of a whirlwind,

01:28but you've been involved in some sessions out with the lads.

01:30How's that been?

01:31Yeah, really enjoyed it.

01:33Yeah, I mean, I'd heard nothing but good things about the boys as it was,

01:36but when you get out there you can see what a good bunch they are,

01:38what good quality they've got and what a great place it is to work.

01:41And talk to us briefly about your connection with Gerhard

01:44and how you've come to be here.

01:46Yeah, I think Gerhard was looking for an assistant.

01:49I think my old guy was Ralph Hassenhutl.

01:54They both came from the Red Bull stable, both Austrian.

01:56And I think my name cropped up in conversation

01:58and I came to meet Gerhard, we hit it off

02:00and the rest is history.

02:02And your last role was in Wolfsburg with Ralph.

02:05How was that experience?

02:06Yeah, really good.

02:06Really enjoyed it.

02:07There's not many English guys get the opportunity to work abroad.

02:10I thoroughly enjoyed it.

02:10I think it's a great country, great league.

02:12Yeah, it was good, but good to get back home.
