Well, there was a good foundation here with the work that Chris had done over the last four years, promotion and then to stabilise in the Premier League is not so easy.

So there's a good group of players here, good spirit, good characters.

And like anything, you're just trying to improve what happened before.

They've taken on board what we're trying to do.

It's the Premier League, so you know every game is really, really difficult.

But like I said, the response of the players has been really positive.

They're trying their best.

And we're happy with what we've done performance-wise.

We'd just like a few more points.

I think the club made a decision to make a change and I sort of identified myself to come in and work how I've been working.

It doesn't make sense to not be myself.

So that's that.

But of course, you all know that we know that the priority is to stay in the league as well.

And then we want to try and build from there.

It's such a tough competition.

We know that.

But we want to try and think in the short term in terms of results and being competitive in the games and at the same time giving us something that can go forward in maybe the longer term.

think that that's the beauty of the premier league you can do a lot well and and one moment one action can undo you that's that's the the such the the test of it uh andy carroll comes on you can see the environment completely changes even though we were quite you know doing okay in the game he comes on and they lift the crowd it's like they scored almost with the noise so that's a challenge as well but i thought we did it we did it quite well they got a lad making his premier league debut today i thought he equipped himself really well and like i said we're at the start of a process i think we'll

We'll get better, but I'm delighted with their application.

Well, he looked like he was comfortable out there, and that's all credit to him.
