00:00Bristol Rovers head coach Darrell Clark has spoken on how the Gats are managing their injuries this season.
00:07Yeah, it's a whole season project, you're going to pick up injuries through the course of the season
00:13and then it's rehabbing them right, I'm really pleased with my medical team now,
00:17we've got the football club and doing things right so they get them as fit as quickly as possible
00:22when they do get injured, it's part and parcel of the game, every manager up and down the country
00:26will always have four or five injuries in the camp, we're trying to limit those, we try and manage load
00:32and it's pleasing that that game on Tuesday night at Cheltenham was a good opportunity to get those lads important minutes.
00:41Was it important to get, it's always important to win any match isn't it,
00:44but after the frustrations of the weekend to get straight back out there and get the positive result?
00:49You've got to win your next game isn't it, we were disappointed with the second half on Saturday,
00:53the first half was tremendous, second half nowhere near the standard we'd want to be at
01:00but then the response Tuesday in the next game and you know you take it to the next game
01:04so you know it's a tough game leading into MK Dons but it's nice to go into it on the back of winning the trophy.
01:12And Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Brad Young was happy to be back between the sticks for the Gats
01:17in their AFL trophy match away at Cheltenham Town.
01:21Yeah, no definitely, I think when I'd done it was unfortunate, it was just after the Newport game
01:28and I always had that in my mind, I wanted to play the game in the Virtue Trophy
01:33so yeah it was nice to get back, I've recovered pretty well, I've felt alright, I haven't really
01:41touched wood, I haven't had no sort of repercussions of anything or I haven't had no real setbacks
01:48so it's been pretty smooth sailing, so yeah it was nice to get a game in yeah.
01:52And I suppose, especially this first bit of the season when you've got all these international breaks
01:56and obviously knowing Luke's away, it's a great opportunity for you.
01:59No definitely yeah, I think when obviously when I signed here I knew Luke was coming in
02:04and we were just going to have a go, make each other better every week and I know when Luke goes away
02:10it's my time to step up and obviously try and follow on from the good work he's been doing.
