So, yeah, I wonder if that's...

his choice to do that or if that's a thing that has been sort of instructed he's been instructed to do that by the coaches you can get a bit of extra length you know if we're trying to play quite a

If we're trying to just go five or ten yards further forward to put a defence under that little bit more pressure, press them back a bit, then maybe that's the thinking.

Maybe if the opposition see in the first five minutes him kicking the ball out of his hand, they will drop a little bit deeper and it will just give us a bit of an advantage.

Maybe it's a little experiment that's been going on.

I should look out for it now I think his kicking is quite good on the hole sometimes it goes out for a throw but on the hole when the ball is coming back to him and there's a striker bearing down on him and you know he's got to kick it you can be quite confident can't you that he's not going to kick it against the striker that he's actually going to get good connection on it and it's going to go up the field and end in the other half so quite happy with that element of his game

Yeah, in terms of the nicknames, I mean, it always used to be, add a little syllable to their surname, didn't it?

So it used to, it would be, John Swift in the old days would either have been Swifty or Swift-o.

Yeah, that's so true.

It's nice that the manager has a little nickname for them.

That kind of suggests a certain rapport, doesn't it?

I'm not reading too much into it here, but a certain rapport.

He's not calling them by their surname when he does an interview, which always seems a bit harsh.

uh like a headmaster sort of reading out a school register doesn't it i wonder what some of the others are then so terry devlin is probably is he is he deaf i don't know i'm just looking at the lineup from the other night so we've got nick nico is is an abbreviation in itself is that you've got you've got dev uh you've got your regs which you call reagan paul regs

No.

I mean, some of them have got short names anyway, haven't they?

Like Eboo Adams.

Eboo is short enough, isn't it?

Swanny, you've said, is what he calls Swanson.

I'm going to have to listen out now for the whole... We need to start a spreadsheet.
