 First of all, how was quarantine, having to go coping with training in such an enclosed space? It's tough, it's not something I want to do regularly but ultimately it's something to keep everybody else safe and make sure that you don't bring the virus in, it's something you have to do. The club were great, they gave me an exercise bike which I feel like I'm ready for the Tour de France now. But listen, it's something you've got to do and to keep fit and I was able to do that pretty nicely in the two weeks. Patrick said he had a bike as well, did you guys count and pay? Did you do any competition in there? Andy was sending sessions in every day that you had to do which was fine because you haven't got much else to do to be fair so all you can do is get on the bike and do your wake sessions and wait for your food to come. And are you there by yourself or are you there by yourself? Yeah, on my own. The first three days are pretty tough because of the jet lag and stuff. You wake up at 4 or 5 in the morning and then the day just gets dragged out a lot longer than normally but once you get your sleep pattern right, you're normally pretty good. And how did you pass the time? Was there any Netflix movies or TV shows? Yeah, completed Netflix again, completed YouTube and everything else. It literally is like doing my A-licence stuff, my coaching stuff, I'm doing a master's so doing that sort of stuff as well so it's just trying to keep your mind busy really. So you didn't do your coaching course as well? Yeah. Is that something you hope you can do in Australia like maybe a coach here or do you want to go back to? I don't know. It depends on what the club decide like after next season. It depends I guess how well I do really. If they want me to stay, if they want me to stay, then great. If not, look to go somewhere else and do something else. The coaching is just for something completely different after playing. I'm not finished playing yet so it's just something that I thought coming to the latter stages of your career I think it's good to have a plan and the coaching badges is part of that plan so it's just something to keep my mind occupied. When you have a new coaching mentor to learn from what are your first impressions of that? I spoke with him when I was back in the UK and the conversation went really well, liked what he said and the first few days of being in here we've had a decent relationship so far so I think he just likes to see me running around the pitch more than anything. So once we get into the football side of things I'll start to learn a lot more in the way he wants to play. Patrick was saying he wants to play quite an attractive style of football Is he conveying a similar message to you going forward? Obviously it would be very fit I think it would be high intensity which is good because the higher up the pitch you win the ball back, gives strikers more opportunity to score goals so that would be interesting that would be good for the likes of myself and the strikers here. I'm just looking forward to it. We'll see how we go. I hope he lasts a little bit longer than everybody else. Listen, we're a football club hoping to make big strides this year and if changing a manager and the philosophy of the football club is part of that process then that's what the football club decides. We're not a club that likes to stand and steal so if we bring a new manager in and we start getting the results it would be a justified decision. There's been a bit of activity in the transfer market somewhat in the quite well-grown dorms so what do you think he can bring to the club? Listen, I play with Dozer at West Brom and if we get the player that he was at West Brom we've got really one hell of a player on our hands here. Someone very creative someone box-to-box midfielder someone who can score goals which we need from midfield as well so once he gets in, gets settled he climatises and we can showcase his abilities we'll be a better team with him in the team 100%. Obviously, we're still early in the free season but we're almost thinking this could be the final fifth of the puzzle so get the wonders championship for us. Listen, I think ultimately we're a squad of players and we need help so whoever comes in is being brought in to help the squad so if he comes in and helps us that's great I'd imagine that he's probably not the final piece but whoever else comes in will be here to make the squad better, to make the team a better team and hopefully get us to pushing up the top end of the table. What are the goals for this season obviously having been finals for a couple of years is that the goal going forward this year? Listen, the only goal for us is to improve on last year so 100% we have to be looking minimum into the playoffs because otherwise I would see that and I'd imagine everybody at the club would see that as a failure and I guess that's one of the reasons why the manager's been brought in to make those strides up the top of the table and start challenging the top boys the Melbourne cities and the Sydney FC so once we sort of stamp our authority on the training pitch and get our patterns of play and our philosophy across we can start looking forward to the games and start winning games of football. You mentioned Sydney FC before you're telling me before you're still underfeated are you going to continue that dominance? Listen, if we can continue that, that would be great and if I can leave here underfeated against Sydney FC I'll be more than happy. Listen, I think it was never in doubt that I was going to come back this is people, individual circumstances you have to look after yourselves, look after your families and make sure that whatever the decision you make is the right one for yourself and we decided to stick together as a group and we're going to continue doing that all through the season so if that people make like I say individual decisions and they want to go and earn as much as they can because it's a short career so they go and seek pastures new somewhere else in the world so good on them and good luck to them because ultimately we become a better team the fact that other teams have weakened and we're strengthening.
