I think everyone's always playing for your future in professional football. You can sign a three year contract and I think, I'll just play crap for a year. I just love your future, football is an incredibly competitive sport. So I wouldn't like to think and I don't think we do have professionals that can put a cushion on their backside and cruise through. We haven't covered ourselves in glory in the last four games. I don't, I didn't see a, I haven't see a team that is not willing to work hard, not willing to train hard, and have that honesty of our own. I don't see it, I don't see it, I believe we've got to know the lads over the last four months or so since they come in.

You're planning for it for like six to eight weeks or so. So you can't see doing one part of the job, looking after another part of the job, but I have people that help me do that as well. That's always been the case. Even if we're one of the last four games, we're still planning ahead and trying to look into the future, but we'll only deal with that when we can. But if you don't plan up a pair, then it's going to be too much work at the last minute. Gwysigwch chi, mynd i ddod. Ac nes eu bod ni'r ymwneud hefyd i'w ddysgu, ond rwy'n goffio weithio.

So that's what we have to do. I don't like the fluctuation of people's motivation. You know all are motivated this week because of this or they're not motivated because of that. I don't believe that survives if you want to be successful at any walk of life. And I think you have to bit every single day. You wake up and understand how we are doing something that we've thought hard to do. oedd rydw i gyddall hynny, ac i gynnydd efallai rydw i gael i'r hynny, beth mae'n credu bod nhw sydd eio gyd eich rhesymu, ond y gallwn'n cael ei gyddyn nhw i gyddych chi, mae'n gwneud â'r tyf ni ddig yn bros iddyn nhw i'n gyrraeth i'r hollwn, a bryd yn cael eu rhai nhw i'r holl bobl, ond rydw i'r holl i'n amser yn llaweru y rhesymu, ond bod nhw eich rhiwtion yn fawr yn cerddau i gyd-beithyddan minellai, But there was above the team talks for plan protest on Friday, Graham. How easy or difficult is it to block out that noise from the outside? W Voice Over I wasn't aware of it until yesterday, but I'm quite lucky on any social media or anything like that. So I tried to focus on things closer to me and things I can handle, or control, or influence. I don't really know to be honest because I don't think I've ever been involved when something like that has come along. I think there's been opportunities or talk of it happening previous. So it doesn't change my job as in like what I'm going to do every day. It doesn't change my message into the players. I have motivation to play well. I think Britain has a brilliant tradition of free speech and allowing people to air their views, their concerns, and that's what's brilliant about this country. So the last person to say people shouldn't be doing this, shouldn't be doing that, it's a free country. And people have a much longer history with Brafford City than I do. So they have different emotions, they have different recollections and more knowledge of what makes them feel how they're feeling. So I can only deal with what, since I've been here, which is four or five months, the future, which is the most important thing for me, and go with that. I don't really know if I have to deal with it, to be honest, because it's not outside my house, it's outside my workplace, but I've got a job to do and I really need to concentrate on that rather than get veered off that course and deal with other things. I can understand why people are upset. It's football, it's life, I get it. I don't know how much, apart from creating a winning team, I can do to help that. So what I'll try to do is create a winning team to do my bit to help people feel better, and hopefully that'll be enough. Team News, why is the game on Friday? How is Alex Gilead getting on? Yeah, he won't be available. He's doing his rehab, so he'll be another week or so. Unfortunately, we've got a couple of other boys having scans at the minute from the things they picked up at the weekends, so we'll wait to see, maybe Thursday, to see who we have fully fit, but unfortunately there's a couple of other issues that we have with players. So it's a bit of a waiting down to see who we have on Thursday to really plan for the game, but we'll still have a team, I feel, that can win the game, and that's the most important thing for me. It's not about the players missing, it's about the players that we have. Do you have an additional dance? I'd prefer not to say right now, because you might see it on Friday. It's more then where there's always niggles in squads and stuff like that, but there's a couple that have come on from the last game, unfortunately, but it's not players that usually pick up niggles, so we just make sure we do the right things. I guess one of the positives on Saturday was Bobby getting back on the pitch, Noah making his debut, just in terms of those as the younger players, how impressed have you been with them stepping up into the squad? I know Bobby's had minutes this season, but Noah especially who came on on Saturday. I think it's important for football clubs to create a pathway or there to be a clear pathway for players to come through, if they're good enough, if they take those opportunities. I think obviously Bobby had his opportunity before I came here, Noah's earned it since I've been here. I just see them how they train, how they go about their business, the competition they're up against, and when opportunity comes and it knocks, it's up to them to take it. So what they have to learn, and I think they are good learners, is how you train, how you prepare, all those sort of things allow you to be ready for whenever that opportunity comes, because you can never tell when it's going to come along, and there it goes, it's for you. And I think Noah especially coming on to make his debut did exactly what I hope he would. He showed a composure, he's comfortable on the ball, he just want him to believe more in himself that he belongs here, and he's not just a bit part, but that will take time and more exposure to the first team. So I think he's a player that if he keeps his head down, keeps working hard, then he could have a good career. Tremio Rovers and Nigel Ike, he's got a bit of a tune out of them that moved away away from that relegation zone. Have you come across Nigel before? Yeah, yeah, I've met Nigel a couple of times and played against him I think when I was at Scrum Thought, he was the chef of United, so yeah, good guy and really experienced manager with a lot of success under his belt from his previous career, so yeah, it would be a tough game, as he will have. My focus as always is preparing my team, but every challenge, every game, come against good coaches, good players, organised teams, and we have to overcome those challenges, so that's what we have to do again on the weekend. You're similar in the same respect and what about putting your best self on display and whatever you do? Yeah, I think it's, I don't know, I just, I think that's how you should live your life. That's my personal thing, I think rather than concern yourself and worry about everybody else, I think get your own house in order and do the best you can every single day. Become a good team, show what you can do as a team, that's what we're trying to, we're trying to remind the players this week certainly of how we went, you know, six wins on the bounce and how we got so close to players and how we got to the EFL trophy semi-final and how we beat in the league one clubs, you know, listen, we're not all bad, we've had a bad spell, but listen, there's still fighting us, there's still life in us, but we have to show it, you know what I mean, as I always say and people might get bored of it, but there's some great talkers in the world, but it's about doing and where we are now it's about doing, so I still believe that this group of players can restore the faith in themselves from the supporters and the first opportunity to do that is on Friday. Just finally, Monday the trip to Grimmsby, obviously fighting against relegation themselves, do you have to change your approach to those kind of games when you're coming up against those teams who are scrapping for every point? No, because we need to be scrapping for every point. That's it, we have to be scrapping for every point. I don't see a difference when we go into games, top of league, bottom of league, I don't, the challenge is us, we're not playing at a consistent level to be able to go right against these, we do this, we have to get our best game going and consistently well and every three days as it's been, we haven't managed to do that, so that's enough of a challenge in itself, so that's what we have to try and do is to get a consistency about our best levels, understand where it comes from and keep reproducing it and if we do that, then we can think about maybe teams where they are in the league but for me we have to focus on getting our best game. Best luck weekend. Thank you, thank you. As a player, you must have gone through phases like this where you're all the losing streak, you can't do it. No, I've won every week for 24 years. How much can you use that to help the players now with your experience? I just, yeah, definitely, you know what I mean, because at the end of the day my career was the start of my reference point of going into coaching, you know, you haven't got much to fall back on at that point when you actually go from playing to managing, you haven't got back catalogue of experiences in coaching so you rely on your playing career and then as you get through the years of managing you sort of use that experience more, but I think it's important that you remember how you felt when you were a player. I think you have to have the empathy and understanding of what they go through and certainly not look at your own career through rose-tinted glasses and go, well, I never gave the ball away, I didn't make a mistake. How are you doing? I made every mistake that every player is making. I don't know. Play much worse than probably some of these boys have played in the last couple of games. Yeah, that's how it is, but you still, what you do is when you do finish at the end of it, you don't really remember the mistakes you made unless you remember the good times and that's it. So that's what we try to live off the good times but understand that in between those successes was a lot of trying, a lot of effort, some failure, but it didn't take you off the path that you were trying to get to and if you have the discipline and the habits that you have every single day, they keep you on track. If you go, if your behaviour and your feelings go off, how good your weekend's been, you're going to be on a rollercoaster mentally and that's what we have to try and avoid. So you have to get a consistency of understanding the very success that lies but not forget the challenges that you took on, failed, failed, kept trying, kept trying and then got success. That is how it is. So I do use my experience. I was a league two player for seven years in my younger days so people talk to me about my career playing at this club or at this level but I did all the, well people called them the hard yards, they weren't the hard yards, I loved playing, being a professional footballer, I'm showing my age, you weren't league two then, it was fourth division but I loved it. I was playing the sport that I wanted to do every single day of my life so don't forget that and get mided down on the disappointment, the rejection or whatever it is, you have to understand you get up the next day and I'm still doing the job that I love, still got an opportunity to win and feel good about myself and hopefully I'm still going to see the people that I enjoy being with but that's for each person, they might not enjoy being with those people every day. Obviously over the course of the season you're going to get injuries, suspensions and things but as it happens at Bratford recently without using it as an excuse you do get players called up for international duty. How difficult is that for a team like Bratford where the squad is relatively small and you don't have the resources to save a league one club when you lose players through no fault of your own really? I wouldn't say we don't have the resources, I think we've got a, if everyone's fair a good competitive side squad, 20, maybe 20, 22 players and like when I first came here we had 27 players, that was too much so you could say we had the resources to injuries but over the course of the season 27 players 20 players, it's not competitive enough it's not conducive to good training sessions to a good team spirit, it's too many so what you want to do is when you do have a number of 20, 22 players it's imperative that you've got resilient players or you've got all the effing right to keep those guys fit but what injuries are always going to happen in football they happen at the best clubs with absolutely billions to spend they still happen but that doesn't go away from the fact that we have to try and do everything we can to keep these players fit but it's not about this injury there this injury there or losing a player to international it's the other players that are in the same positions are they available at the time so we've had three centre halves Matthew Platt, Sam Stubbs, Ash Taylor all injured at the same time so it's all pretty much and then we bring Dan back who hasn't played for seven months but he has to go showing to the team so little bits like that but these are things that do happen and they do go on and you understand it and if that was the sole reason why we haven't picked up these results it would be easy for me to say words because of this but things we've done in those games have nothing to do with that but they don't have anything to do with him being missing or him being missing those are the basic mistakes that we've been making where it's against how the players have done it in previous so we're just trying to remind them before that, this is what we were doing and looking at the success we had we just went away from it here and rather than hide behind these things they're not hiding behind, they are valid reasons but we still have to be better to overcome these issues and that's what I want to try and create here a team that's resilient that whatever is thrown at us we can overcome because in 10 months of football out of 50 games the challenge is going to come in all directions in all shapes and manners so if we want to be good over the course of 10 months we have to be ready for any challenge and we have to be stronger than anything that's thrown at us we have to be honest about so that's the challenge for us as a football club Chris I'm trying to keep on the levels not too low the ups and downs of the season but it's the last few weeks as it covers a big shock to you the way that the team have come away from how they've been playing for the most part the goals against us have come as a I'm not going to say the word shock but they are I'm scratching my head how we were so strong defensively as a structure and that's what I'm trying to because the players that we have available and who are playing now if I say it's because he's not playing then how am I making this guy stronger that's got to play again on Friday or playing there then I'm taking the responsibility of him to be better and putting on this player who's not available and I don't want to do that I want every player to go I'm good enough to play on his team and help us win so that's what I'm trying to avoid obviously my responsibility is to be honest when people ask me about things like injuries and that you can't hide away from that fact all we've had them I'm trying to find a circumstance why that is the case so if it's a player that hasn't been playing and then comes in and makes a mistake I can understand that he's not been playing a lot but there's other things with players that have been playing regularly all they have done in the last couple of games well that's a bit out of the norm that's not that's not usual for this guy or for that guy and so I'm trying to get to bottom of that but on the other side of it, the attacking aspect that hasn't massively surprised me I think we've had fits like we've had the three at Akwinton, the four against MK Don's but it hasn't been like that all season it's been ones and twos you know what I mean at most so that's not that's something we've been constantly trying to strive to improve and but yeah did I foresee after beating Akwinton that we would lose the next four games in that fashion then 100% no because I think the players are better than that the team is better than that but we are what the results are obviously you know, Louie mentioned about the protest and the things going on round obviously Ryan was there on Saturday and he got pelters from the crowd have you had a chance to speak to him in the meantime? Yeah, spoke to him Saturday night I think as we do, every weekend we speak after the game and it's football you're right in the line like you're right there and if things ain't going right on the pitch then someone's getting it and that's not bespoken unique to Bradford City that's throughout my 35 years of professional football that someone's getting it sometimes it's players, sometimes it's managers sometimes it's people above but my experience in my four and a half months is that Ryan has supported me allowed me to manage allowed me to pick the team allowed me to coach allowed me to make the decision I wanted to make in January so it's just part of the game unfortunately that happens and I don't know enough of the last five years to have a massive opinion on why Ryan might get steak or Stefan might get steak and I've tried not to delve into three years ago four years ago because it's not my concern I can't affect it I don't think it's going to help my job so what I've tried to do like I said before it's tried to create a team that wins and we're still trying to do that that believes the pressure off everybody and actually gets the bread for fans believing that we can do something good in the long term Ryan's been very supportive of you have you had to be a support of it however strong character you might be thinking that's going to hurt when you're just hearing people shout oh well take it from me a word of effin and yeah does it but it's you become callous to it you have to become you have to do that it's whatever is in life it's tough times and you have to understand that's going to come again if you want to be in professional football professional sport I think I said in maybe January where as a manager you have people around you CEOs, sporting directors head of medicals and stuff like that and we all believe that we're the experts in our field and then we all have to help each other in all the other aspects because to create a winning football team all those departments, all those things have to come together so as much as Ryan supported me I've supported him at the weekend but he's a grown man, he's not a baby so he doesn't need me to rock him in his arms or anything like that he knows it comes with a territory but from my perspective Oversea is a guy that works exceptionally hard to try and make Bradford City a better football club with whatever we're dealt with that's what we have to do we have to work with what we've got and that's what I see in Ryan but there's not a person on the world that's going to go through sit there, get a lot of stick and we might put it on a brave face and deal with it but we're human beings and certainly if you care about your job and you're trying hard to be good at it and produce resources for people then Chris Holmes is going to hurt but I didn't go too deep into it Ryan, we're talking more about solutions to help the team win rather than me talking about where is me and Ryan did that, it wasn't that it was a conversation about how do we get to where we want to be as a football club and that's for me is the best way to behave and to understand the challenges that you can weigh and the future, how can we get it better sitting there bitching and moaning about everything and not doing anything about it what is that that's not a life so for me we had a great chat he came in yesterday we had another couple of hours in the office and it was all about how do we help Bradford City become the team and the club that we all want it to be the two international players is Kevin up back with you now? yeah obviously Tom has played a full game last night when's he due back? well he'll be playing back but he'll be back in with us training on Thursday Cav came back yesterday, so he was back with us training yesterday and today so he's full of beans, full of energy great to get him back you played really unfortunately so you're losing a strike at where set on a bench that's it every manager has a squad of players to pick and he has to pick you but we lost Calum for two games for nothing really but that's how it is I'd prefer us to have players that represent country I believe we've got good players on our books and we're happy that Calum's getting that sort of representation but it was a frustration certainly from his perspective two games as well it's not a play but as an international you have to make sure you go there, whether you play or not it's still a great privilege to represent your country on the flip side obviously John Tom isn't getting a full game last night so you're getting a match fit player coming straight back yeah definitely I think where we are we need everybody that we have available but JT's done a great job for us he's been a team he's been a real positive loan signing for us without a shadow of a doubt when I spoke to him when I first came in he told me how big it was for him to represent his country because I know the Olympics is coming up and obviously the 23s will be a part of that so I knew how important it was for him to be involved in that camp so fair play to him again we talk about motivations you say personal pride and playing for yourself but when you've got a goal like you also play the Olympics at the end of the season you know you're going to get a player who's going to turn up every single week yeah but it goes but this goes back to what I said before about people's level of motivation and you have to be motivated every single day so even when you're not getting contracts or international recognition or this that either just getting up every day having a motivation to be your best self surely that will be enough so I get it there's always carrots there that you can chase and you can create them as well targets to hit I know JT came here with the intention of trying to get his first team career well underway because I think he's had a loan before didn't go great for him so he's played more games here than he's ever played and it's been a great learning process for him but motivation I think I'm being a bit flippant I think I was myself it was good to have things to aim for but there's been times where you can't really see that target but you still have to motivate yourself or you still have to have that and I believe it's in there anyway I think if you've got through all the challenges you've faced I think deep down you've got to see the motivation day in day out it's just then trying to understand how you can get the best out of it but he has certainly done that in the past four months since I've came in you've got a good group, Graham do you think it's just getting a bit of confidence and dealing with adversity? Yeah I think that from looking back over the patterns of the games and the things I think that's the adversity I would say is the challenge for us I now spoke a few months ago about the importance of the first goal and how it seemed to influence how the game went all the result as well and that's certainly what's hit a side in the last three or four games and when we have conceded we've had a real great chance to equalise really soon after not took it and it's sort of double-compounced that feeling but we have to overcome that because we have to be a team that goes right this happens, we still crack on this happens, we still crack on not thinking hope everything goes great today because let's be honest we don't have games of football that someone's going to make a mistake someone's going to go against you and it takes time to create that belief, that mentality but we're working hard with some really good characters to show and make that happen I suppose it's the sense for you as a manager someone who manages the fire that it doesn't kill you makes you stronger sort of thing in these situations is where you've got to really stand up and show what you're about Is that not everyone's life? It is isn't it? I think it's everyone's life I think it's our parents' lives they can all sit there and talk to you about their challenges they had from childhood all that sort of thing so I don't think it's bespoke to football but it's certainly relevant I think the better you are as a human or the more resilient you are as a human certainly makes you a better footballer and then if you're a better footballer more resilient footballer then you're a better team and that's what I think so I do a whole great setting up because I think it's important for people clubs are the people that's it so you could have the best institution in the world but if the people are not strong or weak or weak or something like that that's what the club becomes so what we have to do is get the right people and create the right people and I do believe we have the right people in here we have to add to that and influence the ones we have here to get better because that underpins this club getting better and that's what we have to try to do so when challenges come and defeat come I don't maybe I would in my younger younger life thinking that was it disaster zone and all that but when you get more experience in your belt and you still create success and have success I think actually I learned a lot in that time I learned a lot about myself and I certainly learned a lot about how to win just when you look at body language even more not so whenever we play there's one of the things I said after I'm just going to look for who's got the head looking that way and who's looking at the feet it tells you a lot doesn't it it's a window into the mind and I'll be believing and trying to and sometimes you don't feel like that you want to look down but I'm not going to go no let's crack on let's make the best of our lives and our job and our club and our sport and that's what we're going to try and do and if we do that I believe in the long term we'll have the success of Wheelgrafe
