Duncan Barkes

You know, your shot won't be particularly effective.

The goalkeeper obviously is kicking himself.

He didn't put it around for a corner, but it came at him so quick.

He just had to get a hand on it.

Yeah.

Well, you and I have observed this so often when the teams run out at five to three, that they're a foot taller and a stone and a half heavier.

And it can be a factor.

But now that we've got a team that has...

Adams and Pack in front of the back four.

We've got enough what we call meat and menace in our midfield.

They don't want 50-50s with Adams or Pack.

And who would?

No, true enough.

Let's have another word about Ali, who you have mentioned as being somebody who was a really good takeaway for you.

What couldn't anybody else get out of him?

He's now playing like a top championship winger, forward.

His assists are coming out of his ears.

Why couldn't anybody else do that?

Is that your boy's influence?

Yes, I enjoy my Saturday afternoons especially, seeing the Massino family at play, because I think it might be a Portuguese thing, but you're a great family, and you're a family man and a great dad.
