00:00So a new coach for me, my first time.
00:04So I'm looking forward to seeing how he is, because just about doing training, seeing
00:09what's different between him and Arne, and learning new things and preparing and getting
00:14ready for the game.
00:15We came into last camp having not played much football due to an injury at the start of
00:18the season.
00:19We wanted to come into that game and get a red card and then go back to football.
00:23So then getting injured again was pretty difficult at the time, so I just put my head down and
00:29worked on my rehab and tried to get my body in the right place to get back and play against
00:34Portsmouth and doing well.
00:36And then I knew if I was playing well, I would get selected.
00:40And so now, yeah, I'm in a lot better place than I was going into the previous camp.
00:43I've played a lot more games and my body feels good and my mind is clear and I'm looking
00:48forward to these games and to do well and to help win points and help qualification.
