Dwi'n meddwl ar ystod. Felly, mae'r problemau sy'n meddwl am y gweithio. Gweithio? Mae'r oedd yr afshontu o'r mwyaf? Nid. Clayton Donaldson's been back in. He's doing well. So he's progressing nicely with it. Jamie Devitt is still at Blackpool doing his rehab, but he's been out on the grass this week. So that's been really good. And Joe Riley was out on the grass this week just jogging, but just to get him out of that gym and to change a scenery has been fantastic for him. So he's buzzing and going the right way as well. For Joe, I suppose he'll take inspiration from Jake. I suppose Jake's obviously had a massive long-term injury. Yeah, and Jake's been great with him, you know. And the other injury boys that we've had over the period of time, Mattie Palmer, I've seen a real maturity in Joe over the last couple of months with dealing with the injury and taking responsibility in his rehabilitation as well. And Clayton, what sort of timescale? I don't know. Difficult to put a timescale on, but he's moving in the right direction, and that's the most important thing. There's touchwood, everything's gone smoothly from the operation, and he's working very hard. And just to look back on Saturday, given those late notice injuries, I suppose, for a better phrase, how pleased were you with what you got? Yeah, massive, you know. It just shows you the... I think our boys deserve a lot more credit than what they're getting a little bit, you know. I think you look at the situation, what happened not just at the end of the season, but what had been going on at the club for 18 months, 20 months, say. And I didn't know this. I wasn't aware of it. I got made aware afterwards to have the best home form in the league. That's impressive for them. They deserve an awesome amount of credit for it. The challenge to them now is to, you know, try and get some more wins on the road. But the most important thing is that, while your form at home is as good as that, when you do go on your travels, you do pick up points. Do the players feel like getting enough credit? I don't know. I've not particularly asked them. I don't think they'll be... That was just my opinion, I think. When that statistic came out, I thought, you know... Yeah, you look at people saying, opposition managers were saying at the time that we hadn't won in five. Well, take that into context. We'd play three games against league one clubs. And drawn one of those three. And narrowly got beaten the other two. So I don't think that they got the credit that they deserve. The last time we were at home in the league, we would. Yeah. But that's the world we live in now. It's mad. Somebody loses a game and it's all of a sudden, you know, wondering how many games he's got left and how he's got just nonsense. Do you feel the performance on Saturday? I know you said afterwards it wasn't the football performance that you would have liked, but the spirit and the hard-fought nature of it. That's sort of the galvanising force for everybody and the players to squad the fans. That's what I mean. You have to put things in context and just like I said after the game, you sometimes need to pause and reflect and just realise what it's all about. At the end of the day, you know, it is a game. You know, unfortunately, we're playing late in the morning this weekend who sadly lost their manager. That puts things into context. But if anybody thinks that, you know, your team's going to turn up and dominate a game from start to finish for 46 games of the season, then they're living in Cloud Cuckoo Land. And though, like you say, Saturday's performance was a real good performance because it was a battling performance. They had to fight for everything. And yet we could have won you. Well, it was quite a comfortable one-nil win for being honest. That they have one shot on target, which was right at the death where the referee gives them the ball when he stops play, when we actually are possession of it. So I just think it was one of those games where you get the result and move on. And, you know, there'll be more of those results throughout the course of these 27 games because, you know, the weather kicks in. Some pitches won't be great. And then you have to dig in and battle. And what we saw last weekend is that our lads, as well as trying to play the right way, in my opinion, they can actually stand up and fight and dig and do what people call the ugly stuff, what I call the lovely stuff. And almost on that point, I suppose, in terms of taking responsibility, Jake Reeves' second start in a row, 99 minutes on a Saturday as well. I forgot about that, yeah, 99 minutes. It's the first time I've seen him since he's come back. What surprised me was the way he was off the ball as well, not afraid to get his voice out there and heard and organised, and that surprised me, actually. Only from the point of view, I think, because he's come back from such a long-term injury, having been a bit more self-conscious. No, that's him, that's his character, that's who he is. He's been like that, like, safe, from the minute that I've been in the building. I can remember when, like I say, that first week, you tried to get round everybody and I made sure I got round him because he'd been out of injured. And straight away, in my first meeting with him, I could tell that he had an opinion, he was knowledgeable in his opinion, and he had a love for the game. Then, when he comes back playing, you see straight away in those games. I understand what you're saying, but once he was back on the bike, that was it, he was away. And you're touching it there about Leighton Orient and the awful events for the summer from the outside looking in? How impressed have you been with how they've handled everything? Well, from a club point of view, it's hard to imagine, isn't it? Or what do you do? How do you go about it? How do you behave? How do you conduct yourself? I think from the club to the supporters, the way that they've handled it, how they've gone about it to the players. They've been magnificent, haven't they? Like I say, we can only imagine. I saw Justin on holiday a couple of times at games, never came up against him, but you just have to listen to what everybody said about him as a bow, as a person, and it would be sadly missed. On the pitch, what are you expecting from them? Well, we've watched the games, we've watched the videos, obviously they've gone through a situation now where the other caretaker manager is only a point of manager and now Ross is back in charge, so there's a little bit they're trying to, I would imagine, trying to get some stability now and obviously from being through that situation at Blackburn it's unsettling and you just want to get sorted and I'm sure that the club will do that in the next couple of weeks. After this weekend it's crazy, it's hectic, isn't it? Giving you a selection headache, but it's also great in terms of the resources that you've got? It is. If there's a time where you want the selection problems where everyone or noone is fit, it's around this period and like you say it's raised the standard of training already this week, people know that there's no guarantees and they've got to go out and perform and the group is driving each other which is eventually what you want to get to and I'm delighted with how they've gone about it this week and looking forward to the weekends game now. You mentioned, Jake, how vocal he is at things. Noticeable set pieces he was telling the younger players that Connor and that where best to push the position thing. How crucial is that for you as a manager that you've got that voice on the pitch now? Huge. I think again society now the kids are always on the phones they're always texting so the art of conversation sometimes is lost with them so I sound like an old man by saying that but it's you need somebody on the pitch that organises, that talks that puts people in the right position because at times from the touch line it's very difficult to do as the manager and so the more people that you can have on there and Chris Taylor ease one as well and I think in the last couple of games where they've been involved you've well I've seen it and heard the difference that it makes to the team just that experience and passing it on for the younger ones we've been saying to them prior to those two coming in the team now step forward and encourage them to speak and organise and don't be so wise after the events happened if you're seeing it corrected before if it was need correcting so they're learning and they've got two great examples in there and obviously we've worn it at the top end of the pitch as well I suppose it's that thing isn't it young players are only going to learn by playing you don't want to knock the confidence out into having those people there 100% and that's it we're sat down with Connor Wood and I said to him about the next stage if you look at him last year and his performances this year the night and day and you just look then at the next level for him to step up to is being that leader by using his voice along the back four as well and how he's coming into the teams he's a good talker as well I think that's important the more noise you have on the pitch the better it is John Riley will be back on the grass that must be a great lift for him not just for him, it was great for everybody to see him jogging around the pitch he's worked ever so hard the change in the lad as a person over the last couple of months has been really pleasing to see just like realise it so obviously last season wasn't great for him on the footballing point of view pre-season started fresh start for him and then to have that hammer blow and the manner of what it was as well in terms of nobody nearing when it happened and getting over the initial disappointment the determination and the desire from in to Ryan getting back I'm going to use this time wisely if you see him now physically he is ripped and he's not shy to let you know he's ripped but that's a credit to him in terms of how he's gone about it he could have gone under quite particularly as you say after such a difficult year he's getting his chance the world's against me what's the point and he has he's gone the other way he's dire he's gone really serious on his dire he's gone really serious on his rehabilitation and that's not to say that he wasn't serious before and that's that maturity of the realisation of this can help me and get me back quicker if that's the case he's been really good really good and we're delighted for him like I say all the lads were buzzing to see him out on the grass has he got a channel for this season then if he's back out on the grass see what I mean about the media look he's out on the grass once and now he's back no it's our biggest piece of string I'm afraid it is that you would hope so in this day and age where they do come back quicker and turn around is he on course oh he's on course but like you say we're not going to push him to say you must get back for this and we've said that to him as well players when they get to that situation contract situation plays on the minds and we totally understand all that and I've said that to him you don't go and do something that puts you back and then need to get back to them because of this and this just relax you just got to take your time with it and if it needs three more weeks you take those three more weeks if you're back earlier three weeks earlier then brilliant you do that but yeah he's going the right way and obviously Remi's coming up in a minute good luck how would you assess Remi's up a season so far he's done alright he's done alright there's more to come from him he went out on loan last year probably didn't play enough as he would have liked second loan I think he's certainly done better than his first loan I think there's still more to come from him I think he can push himself harder which we spoke to him about and he's aware of but he's a young player learning and again it's that what we were talking about earlier with Connor Wood it's the accumulation of games and experience and know-how and realising what you can do because you saw last week when he's pressing like he is and running around as quickly as he is with and without the ball he's a handful and again he's the one that's benefited from obviously listening to Vaughni last weekend
