What the gaffer said


We've regrouped, we've assessed the squad this week and done a lot of work on what we think we've needed to do. It's been a good week of training, a clear week and we've got some good tactical work into the players and I'm pleased with how it's gone.
We've worked on playing with a purpose. I don't want us to be come a team who is just playing football - we have to play football to win.
