00:00Just what you said last week about around the place and everybody being winners and things.

00:05What do you want to see more? Is it how they carry themselves every day?

00:09Those challenges, getting over the line.

00:12It's easier to behave like a winner here.

00:16Where's the pressure other than what we put on ourselves, do you know what I mean?

00:19Getting over the line on a match day where you're always judged.

00:22Some of my favourite players I've worked with,

00:25it could be a pain in the heart Monday to Friday in the week,

00:28and you're forever waiting to give them a slap.

00:30Across the white line, do you know what I mean?

00:33So, it's always about the game.

00:37Always about the game.

00:38Your questions will be led about the game.

00:40People's opinion of me or the players will be based around results.

00:45It's always about the game.

00:47So, whatever we practise in the week, fine.

00:50We're practising the right thing.

00:51We speak about developing that mentality,

00:55working on being challenged and how you come through it.

00:58But the test is in the game,

00:59and that's why you should always, I think,

01:01reflect really well on the game and how you behave, how you perform.

01:04And, yeah, that will always be the test. Always.

01:09Do you get the impression it's been a bit of a comfy play

01:11over the last few years or not?

01:13I don't know if I weren't here.

01:15My experience is, like I said, we had a couple of good cup runs,

01:20some great days.

01:21We got away from trouble.

01:22We got to mid-table.

01:23We get beat off Villa.

01:25Oh, we've done well.

01:26We got away from trouble.

01:27Had a real good cup run.

01:28Do you know what I mean?

01:29There's another game, you know?

01:34Yeah.

01:35That's certainly my take on it.

01:40Unless I look at my...

01:41I should shut down every question you guys asked about last season.

01:45But do you know what I mean?

01:46With everyone, players, staff, Peter, everyone.

01:49Next game, next game.

01:50So, that's what I said, I think, after one of the home games.

01:56I'll certainly be judging myself on how we end next season.

02:00Do you get me?

02:01Because that's something that...

02:03Yeah.

02:06If it's not in you...

02:07No, not in you.

02:08Everyone competes.

02:09Everyone's trying their best.

02:11But subconsciously, some people, you have them doing anything.

02:16And they just become animals to win or...

02:18Do you get me?

02:19And like I said, that's not in the week.

02:21That's when it's on.

02:22So...

02:25Yeah.

02:26Yeah.

02:27We...

02:28Something I've been thinking about.

02:29Something I've been writing things down about already.

02:35Because it's important.

02:36It's not just as easy as changing players.

02:41But we're not going to have the biggest budget.

02:43We're not going to go and buy our way out of here.

02:45So, we have to do things differently.

02:48And part of that is recruiting really well.

02:51But...

02:53Then working and creating an environment here which gets the best out of everyone.

02:56All the time.

02:57All the time.

02:59Yeah.

03:00So, we've got to enjoy doing that.

03:01And it's something I'm looking forward to.

03:03So, if you look at that and we look for a lot of the folks.

03:04You look for an environment here.

03:06And it's not as easy as it is.

03:07That's what I've got to.

03:08I'm going to...

03:09That's what I thought.

03:10A space where I thought you might want to.

03:12So, it's and it's yeah.

03:13I don't know.

03:14But it's that great light, but it's so much.

03:15That's what I have to do.
