knowing Derek in the way he is and the way he motivates his teams, he would have been, that would have come up a lot earlier, Paul.
And it was actually good to hear him coming out and say it.
And I think Peter's right.
It was for me that the players will have heard that from Derek, but I think it was more for the fans and everyone about that.
No, just everybody relax.
We know where we are kind of thing.
We know what we're doing.
And it was refreshing to hear him coming out, because again, every week in my head, I'm thinking, when's he going to say it?
Because as I said, that question's coming from every single person that does an interview with Derek.
So to hear him say it the other night, I'm surprised, because I sat here maybe eight weeks ago and says, no, look,
I don't even think they'll be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.
The other night I said for the first time that I'm starting to worry about that as well.
So, no, it's fair play to them.
What a job Derek's done since he went in.
Yeah, more and more, I think, as the time goes on.
And I don't know if that's the way it is for Peter as well, but more the training.
Like, I know that when people say, well, everything's about the game.
Of course it is.
But when names like, just speaking, Lyle Cameron pops up and you think back to just being able to be on the pitch and...
taking sessions with players and trying to help players.
