He's a great way around the group.

how he deals with the girls and look we'll be a different type of team this year I think when a new manager comes in he'll set his own style his own approach and we've really enjoyed it the last few weeks still early days still have a lot of you know weeks to go now pre-season that we'll continue to learn from him but you know we've been brilliant so far he's Rory there with him from last year good coach and group behind them as well but in terms of himself he's been brilliant I've learned a lot off him already and now we're really excited I suppose to be led by him going into the season

Oh yeah, absolutely.

I was at Shells' fans forum with him last night and someone asked him that.

There was a lot of pressure.

We didn't win anything last year.

That's why he's here.

You want to be at clubs like this where you're expected to win things.

He wants to be at the club.

He likes that expectation.

What manager wouldn't?

What player wouldn't?

You want to be competing for everything.

That's why you're involved in the game.

That won't bother him.

That'll probably bring him along even more.

He'll bring us and lead us along even more because he knows those expectations.

I've always said when we play a Scheldt,

and expectation to win things, but it's also in our dressing room, it's within us, we have that belief in us as players that every year we want to compete for everything and he'll want that as a coach, that's what you want as a manager, isn't it?

Every week, every year, to know that you're going to be competing for everything, so as I said, he'll bring his own style and I've been really impressed so far, so hopefully it can take us where we want to be and I'll firmly believe we have a great chance every year, the girls, staff, dedicated, we'll give everything and yeah, please God, we can get a bit of silverware.
