interview on the club website and gazette have done all the quotes in an article.
Good to hear a bit of honesty about the squad and the situation we are in. He mentions a few times about scrapping for our lives and making sure we don't give Stoke any gifts on Saturday and make them earn anything they get.
There was a couple of things he said i found particularly interesting.
"We've probably not got that many leaders in the dressing room, and that is not being detrimental to them, that's just the nature of the way the players are"
Good to see him highlight something which is clearly a problem as you need leaders in the team to drive the rest on during games, especially if you have a quiet manager on the sidelines which Woodgate seemed to be.
"Fitness levels are very good but I think every club in the Championship knows they could be a little bit more and we will be working very hard on that, especially with the heat and a lot of games coming up."
I mean we didn't look up to speed fitness wise last week and that is unforgivable for me, you can get tactics wrong but fitness at any professional club should always be up to standard with other teams.
