Is that something you're trying to improve on, scoring from open play, because you're very good at set pieces?

I think we've got to just make sure we have multiple strings to our bow.

As you've just said, we're really good in terms of set plays, both for and against.

We work on them, but we also work on... on obviously patterns of play, um, areas that we, we feel like we can exploit the opposition.

Um, and as you say, the other, the other pleasing thing that was to come out of tonight was that there was different areas of pitch that scored.

Uh, obviously that was an area of pitch that I kind of operated in, although I was never like that goal scorer midfielder, but we know that different areas of pitch have got to contribute to that goals tally.

So to have two central midfielders contribute when potentially we've had, um, Obviously, other members of the squad scoring from set plays and things like that, that was another very pleasing thing that came out of

How are you going to go into that? Obviously, I think you train on Tuesdays, so how are you going to go into that?

[laughs]

But, um, yeah, I, I mean, listen, it, it, it's interesting you say that, um, sort of like, sort of the last time we were here because we've kind of been speaking about that all week, how we know how tough of a place this is to come.

We knew that the lads were gonna have to be mentally prepared, potentially more than anything in what, what a difficult sort of cup game, um, coming here.

A fair play to Buckley, I think they pushed us all the way.

Would we have wanted it to go so sort of to that extreme and get through that way again? With the chances that we've had, if you thi- Even just going, ticking them off in me, in me head now, couple of offside opportunities, first half ball rolling towards sorts of an empty net, and them last ditch tackles.

So you ...

We could go on about that.

I'll g- uh, give you the assist.

What's your overall thoughts initially?

Um, [clears throat] a really pleasing reaction, obviously, from what happened last week.

Um, worked hard this week, encouraged the lads, told them how much we, kind of, believed in them and what they can do, kind of, on the ball.

Um, tried to give them a little bit of confidence, and obviously set them up against a really, a really well, um, drilled Airbus team that have obviously been really successful last season, who will cause problems for numerous teams in this league.

We believe they're gonna take points off, off quite a lot of people.

They're really dangerous going forward.

They play, um, really good football.

Is there any particular reason as to why they've not got any minutes?

Um, what's sort of the, the plan, and what way are you trying to sort of play this season?

I think me and Mike have worked together as a management team, what, for, for three...

Coming into our third season.

We've played together for a number of years.

We've always been in teams that are hard to beat.

We've always been in teams that are good at set pieces.

We've always been in, in teams where clean sheets are absolutely the, the, the benchmark of how you build successful campaigns on.

Cheers, Danny.
