That's good to hear.
Now, I know it's probably not a fantastic subject to broach in this interview, but I'm just fascinated, really, not because of the result against Leicester.
What I'm interested in is those days just after that, how did they affect you?
And what did you do to turn around the players in the belief in themselves that they are good enough to stay in this league?
Well, I think the relationship with the club has always been very strong, you know, even after that defeat.
I think one of the big things you've mentioned there was just how much support he had from Martin Simmons in those difficult hours and days after that.
And I think he's done a terrific job since then in not only lifting himself back up, but lifting the players back up and giving the players their belief back.
Because I think at that point in the season, I think most people looked at that defeat and just thought, wow, this team are already down.
Yeah, I had the same impression as Graham.
I didn't particularly think that it was quite tough.
I actually thought that he'd won a competition to come and train with us.
And then when he turned up on the Saturday and he sat in the changing room, I'm thinking, wow, that's a pretty good competition he's going to get with the team talking, isn't he?
LAUGHTER And, yeah...
I pulled my thigh muscle.
I don't think I ever told Graham this, but I was taking some penalties after training on the Friday.
And I just felt a little tweak in my thigh muscle just as I took my last penalty.
And I thought, well, that didn't seem quite right.
But I thought, you know, it's just a little bit.
I'll be all right.
You know, it's not like I have to sprint or anything in the game.
