00:00Here we go again against another top side. You've had Arsenal and Liverpool fared reasonably well.
00:04How do you feel about your side's progress against these sides?
00:08Well, I saw it as a challenge when we saw this group of games against all the teams in the top area of the league.
00:15So it's been good. I think we've acquitted ourselves really well.
00:21We'd like to get a bit more points if we can, but I think when you're playing the top teams at this time in the season,
00:25it's always difficult. They're desperate for the points.
00:28So we go to Nottingham Forest, who've had a great season, are having a great season, and we're going to have to play well.
00:37Have they surprised you and their style of play and the way that they've made their way into the top?
00:43I think they surprised me from where their position was last year.
00:47I have to say Nuno's done an incredible job.
00:51I've got no real interest in their style.
00:52Football has to be played in many different ways, and if we're only going to play football in one way, then I think it'll be boring.
00:57So I think it's great that we have different types and we see different teams play in different ways.
01:03I think Nottingham Forest have had an incredible season and great credit to them.
01:09They've got a great crowd down there, and it's always been an incredibly famous football club because of Brian Clough and their great years in Europe.
01:19Do you see him as a candidate for manager of the year? Invariably, it goes to the title winners, but given the job that he has done, you mentioned where they were last season.
01:28Yeah, well, if you're going to be manager of the year, then it's more to do with the resources you've got as well.
01:33It doesn't always go to the people who win it with the biggest resources, the biggest clubs.
01:38I think from Nottingham Forest's position of last season to where they are now, I think they would have to put Nuno in a strong position to get one of those votes.
01:50Yeah.
