00:00Summer-wise, do you think you'll go abroad, it's something the club have done in recent years?

00:04Pre-season? Yeah, that's all sorted.

00:06Can you tell us where you're going?

00:08No, because I don't think I'm meant to you on it, no, no, yeah.

00:10Are you ready for a break since you're back in?

00:13The work starts, everyone thinks break, this is it, you've got to get busy.

00:16I'll certainly have a drink tonight and then maybe not start tomorrow but then start Monday.

00:21But yeah, this is, people think this is, if you ask my wife, she probably hates this bit

00:26because she thinks she's got me but she hasn't, you know.

00:29Yeah, literally until the window closes it'll be, yeah.

00:34You mentioned the fans, is there a little bit of togetherness, obviously nothing to celebrate really,

00:38but at the end there's something to take forward into the...

00:41Yeah, listen, you've got to celebrate, you can't, we can never be,

00:45and I would never allow us to be as a group, as a club while I was here,

00:48to up yourself that you don't celebrate achievements and we were in the mire, do you know what I mean?

00:54Like I said, I think one of the things people switched off when we just got knocked out of the FA Cup

00:59in the quarter-final, the journey had been good, everyone said we were safe or we've had good cup runs,

01:04but we still had games to play and fight for and as we got dragged into it the realisation came

01:09and adrenaline came and that's why I've been really pleased with this week.

01:12We never want to be in that position but to play for things at the end of the season,

01:16it's a different kind of anxiety, nerves and you've got to deliver and there are lots of players who have not experienced that yet.

01:23It's much better at the top than it is at the bottom but you've still got to deliver under some big pressure

01:29and I felt we did that and we were good through the week so we'll be better for that, we'll be better for that.

01:35Let's go.

01:36Let's go.

01:37Let's go.

01:38Let's go.

01:39Let's go.
