00:00Yeah, I mean, we liked him at Chef United.

00:14We tried to take him then and we couldn't.

00:16He went further afield and then, you know, brought him back here.

00:19There's something he's still learning about the Premier League, he's still developing.

00:22I thought first half of his game wasn't where it should be, apart from his fine finish.

00:26But I think he'll continue to learn about what we are,

00:29what the Premier League is, because he's obviously limited in his depth of experience.

00:33I think he's a very good player and he continues to show that.

00:36So with him on one flank and Harrison on the other,

00:40and then you've got Dwight in the middle, number 10.

00:44Yeah, well, I made a change.

00:48I felt, you know, the technical side of our game wasn't where it should be.

00:52I made a change.

00:52I thought, I know Dwight from, I've known him a long time.

00:56The defensive side of the game, he's got to learn,

00:58I think, from that position.

00:59But we know he's of offensive games really good and he's very technical.

01:02Illy with a bit of charm, he can carry the ball.

01:05Jack's a relentless operator for us.

01:07He's very good at the shape and the discipline of a side.

01:10And it just sort of gave us that bit of balance.

01:12And Dom's gone through a couple of times today.

01:13Another day, he scores one, maybe two.

01:16But they'll come for him if he keeps doing the right things, keeps getting in the right place.

01:19You know, and trying to find that balance, I speak about all the time, is the hardest thing in football.

01:22Enough quality to go forward and open teams up.

01:25But still, the players who can be resolute and work hard enough to make sure you don't open up too much and you get beat.

01:30So that's the balance all managers are looking for.

01:38No, no, no.

01:39No, he's a very fit player.

01:40I mean, I've known him since I gave him his debut.

01:42I've never known him not fit.

01:44No, he's a really fit player.

01:45He's a very fit player.

01:46He's quicker than people think.

01:47And he can carry 95 minutes comfortably when he's really on it.

01:55Yeah, well, not everyone's going to have that period, you know.

02:03It's not just everyone in football.

02:04Every team, at some point, they'll look at their face and go,

02:07that looks like a tough one.

02:08That's just the nature of the Premier League.

02:10That's why, you know, they get hammered for it, say, one game at a time, because that's what it is.

02:14I'm never, I appreciate, I've been in Europe once with Burnley, and you do have to plan differently.

02:19It's tricky because you've got so many games coming up.

02:22We're not in Europe, so we're going to have that one game at a time mentality,

02:26you know, and keep building on that.

02:27And I think it's a simple way, a simple format of making sure the players stay focused on what the next challenge is.

02:33So every time them games come about, going back to your point, it's another game in the Premier League.

02:37A lot of our players know about the Premier League.

02:39Next one comes, you've got to be ready for it.

02:40Go and deliver, see what you get.

02:42It has to be moved forward quickly, because that's the nature of the game.

02:45On Dominic Calverley, he used to focus on his missed chances, but it felt like he had a really good game today.

02:51Yeah, he's doing a lot of work.

02:52He's doing a lot of tactical work, you know, trying to get him to understand the defensive side.

02:56And I think he's doing that better.

02:58He keeps getting in the right place.

02:59And like I said, you know, goals will come for him because he is getting chances and he is getting in the right places.

03:09He's a very good finisher.

03:10Like I say, he's another player I've known for a long time.

03:12All the players know in training what a good finisher is.

03:15He has a calmness to him and we see it all the time.

03:19And he's a threat in the box, without a doubt.

03:23OK, thanks, folks.

03:24Cheers, everyone.
