And we had that environment.

And that's why we did so well at that time.

Look, in all, I'm very methodical and OCD with my planning, but look, at the minute, you have to take every game that comes, especially in this environment, because, one, you've had minimal time to prepare a group of players for Championship football, which is as intense a football as you're likely to have in the world.

Secondly, there are a cluster of games coming up where you're going to have to, with travel arrangements, which are totally different from before.

We haven't got the luxury here of being able to fly to games and things like that, but hotels, we don't know yet what kind of preparation we can have with hotels.

Thirdly,

We are tested twice a week.

Any positive tests can have an impact on squads.

So with all due respect, I plan, I do 12 hours, 13 hours a day.

I practically live at the training ground.

But we will plan to the best of our ability for every individual game.

But we're going to have to be adaptable as I think every other team.

team are going to be at a meeting the other day about sort of with the managers about I don't think it's an unrealistic start date but to then prepare a championship squad for nine championship games in 29 games was very difficult so we've had a little bit of a leeway with with no midweek game in the first thing but it's going to be very very difficult and I'd be very surprised if the playoff final championship playoff final that both teams play in their best team that's going to be that's going to be interesting

Look, I think, of course, you can hit the ground running, then you can tailor, or whatever it is.

We have a points target.

If we get to, we will have a chance.

Now, look, if we win nine games, but sort of all the bottom seven, for example, then we won't stay up.

But it's all about, you know, you have to take each game as it comes.

Yes, we've done the work now that hopefully we can hit the ground running.

I imagine that Alex Neil, Koops, Tuanze, Marcello would have done exactly the same, and that's a tough start.
