Look, I'm a centre-back, so if you're clever enough, you can get the people in front of you and you talk enough to communicate.

I just think it's the hard work, the dedication, the recovery, all that sort of things.

It's a team game, isn't it, really?

So it's just working together with the team and the coaches and what they want.

I think we just have to enjoy it as much as we can.

Yeah, I wouldn't be the quickest either, but I think if you can read the game well, you can get yourself in a situation where you're not caught out or like that, reading the game.

I've watched a lot of football over the years, I've been playing for a long time, so I think reading the game would help you and we can be doing that ourselves as well.

You can tweak and look, you've been around a long time, you know now what works for yourself and what doesn't, but I do agree with you, being able to read the game absolutely helps, or your communication with other players around you and stuff like that always helps.

Yeah, he's been great.

Look, obviously, you know, we would have played against Sean last year at Treaty, probably some of the very toughest games, to be honest, and always really impressed with their style as well as his information onto those players and stuff.

And look, women's football is very small and now a lot of people around the game that have played under him are not new of him and always spoke very highly of him.

And we've seen a first hand now the last few weeks working with him, brings his own style, his own approach.

I've learned a lot off him already as well, which is great.

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 he's been brilliant so far he's already 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'm supposed to be led by him going into the season

Oh, yeah, absolutely.

That's...

I was at Shell's fans forum with him last night and someone asked him that, you know, there was a lot of pressure, we didn't win at him last year and that's why he's here.

You know, you want to be at clubs like this where you're expected to win things and, you know, he wants to be at the club, he likes that expectation.

What manager wouldn't?
