00:00How do you assess Ben Whiteman's captaincy in general and leadership?

00:04Because that's a significant question all the time.

00:06Yeah, good, no problem.

00:08I thought I really liked how him and Robbie played at the weekend, to be fair,

00:12especially how they approached the game.

00:14And again, when we were on about the design of the fight,

00:17I thought from the first minute we were right on top, especially midfield.

00:21Yeah, and again, that's a frustrating thing.

00:26And back to the day you come when you're not winning those questions.

00:29I think as you get a bit older, or you're a manager,

00:32because you understand that,

00:36well, I wouldn't be doing this if that type of thing bothered me.

00:40Does that make sense?

00:41Because I'm ultimately responsible for everything.

00:44So even the bits that are out, you control that, you still get judged on it.

00:47I think when you're younger, it's a skill that you want to develop

00:51and try and develop, and the more mentally tough and stronger you can get,

00:55it's water off a duck's back.

00:56I thought how, for example, those three midfield approaches the game,

00:59how they start the game against all the other day,

01:01they got on top of the Dominator.

01:04Not just with the ball, I thought we dropped on all the second balls

01:07and were very, very good.

01:10So yeah, but then the questions come because we don't get the result.

01:14We don't.

01:15We don't.

01:16We don't.

01:17We don't.

01:18We don't.
