I think at this moment in time, the squad has actually got a structure that in difficult moments they feel comfortable leaning back on.
And I think that's so important because in any game you play, there's going to be periods where you're under pressure.
You've got to really believe in what you're actually doing.
I think at times under the previous manager, they didn't have that.
That's why they were opened up, whatever.
But I think, especially when I think about that hungry game, which has got us where we are now, they started so well hungry.
We were really under the cosh.
but they were able just to manage it.
I know the likes of Seamus there, but Parrott, we highlight his goals.
He was sensational off the ball in terms of relieving pressure.
There was one specific moment after about eight or nine minutes where he had about two players all over him and they were swamped on us.
And he just relieved the pressure, drilled a foul.
We got up the pitch.
And from that moment on, it just allows you as the defence to go, all right, breathe.
Okay, let's settle down a little bit here now.
Where if he hadn't have done that, it could quite easily have gone 2-0 and then it's like panic station.
I like that.
I totally agree with Damo there that that back five allows us
to feel comfortable within our surroundings.
It wasn't quite said like that, John, when you said it.
