without fans being there.”
What is the mood like inside the dressing
room? Has confidence taken a hit with the
recent run?
“The mood hasn’t been affected. The lads are class,
we all know positivity is key to success.”
On a personal front, how are you finding
things at the club? You have been a little in
and out of the side?
“Joining a new club can sometimes be difficult; I’ve just
got to continue to work hard. A run of games in the
team & I’ll be back to my best.”
Which players have impressed you so far?

a case of the team finding its feet in these
