Transcript

00:00 It's been a great experience for them. It really has. Some of these younger players

00:08 won't have ever had to deal or never dealt with this type of intensity, the fixtures

00:16 as well. Shrewsbury was a big battle in the second half. I speak about Cheltenham a few

00:21 months ago. You get games that are really physically demanding. Young boys have done

00:27 okay. Some of the senior players have really stood up. I speak about Josh, who has now

00:32 come into a really good place. Jason has come back from injury, Jordan, and then you've

00:37 got Cam Mac still producing moments off the bench. We've had to rely a little bit too

00:43 much at times on the young ones. I've asked a lot, particularly over that Christmas period.

00:46 I remember the Derby game really feeling like I'd asked a lot of them. I now hope that this

00:52 time next year or coming into next season, this experience should hold them in great

00:58 stead really. It should.

00:59 - Yeah.
