That trust element takes time to grow and you've got to graft away.
And show the manager that you're worthy of being part of his staff.
So that's been an ongoing thing throughout the season.
But I think the respect is mutual both ways.
And the players deserve all the credit, as do the recruitment team led by Jared and Hodgie.
Because obviously we had the embargo two days after taking the job.
No one knew it was coming.
And we had work to do at that point to get a squad capable of probably a top ten finish, really, in fairness.
Phenomenal.
So what the boys have done is, yeah, hats off to them.
It's been incredible.
It feels like a very, very much a Dean Holden team as well as a Sergei Kirovich team in the sense of... No, I mean, I'm not saying it like that, but, you know, having watched you a lot away, I mean, being rigid, being strong, being impactful when you need to be impactful, not, you know, shirking any challenges and then lightning quick on the counter.
You've actually been a joy to watch.
Yeah, no, that's good to hear.
I'm sure the fans have enjoyed the journey, obviously stayed up last game of last season for a goal difference to then go and get promoted.
I think Sergi said after the game that there was only a couple of players in that team at the weekend, like new players from the squad that finished the last game last season at Portsmouth, so some turnaround.
We played to the strengths of the players that we had.
As I say, recruiting was really difficult because you can't spend a penny in...
you look at some of the players in the squads and the managers in the Championship, it's real high level nowadays.
Tactically, you've got to be on your game never more so than against Kim's Middlesbrough team because I think they've been top since he's come in.
