Rwy'n meddwl i'n meddwl i chi'n meddwl i chi'r erbyn unrhyw mwyaf i'r Rhys-Taib-N, a'r eu bethau arweinyddol ar y sorg. The opportunity he presented himself is a play. Myself at Glen I know very well from our time in Man City. He was a young guy then. He's gone on to have a fantastic career. I always felt he was going to have a career of longevity. That's been proven. Played at a really good level for a long long time. He always keeps an eye on players that you have worked with before I dient y gallwn i'r ystyried i'r cyfnod yr ardal. Nid ydych chi'n gweithio yno. E wedi bod yn gwneud yn fydd ac wedi bod wedi wneud yn ei feddiad i'r bwysig. Mae'n digwydd i'r ardal, ond rhai. Ond mae'r cyfle i gyd wedi ei wneud, yma.

He gives us that strength and that understanding. On leadership.. Obviously a player who has had a captain's role a lot of glows he has been at to add to the leadership qualities we got. I thought that was an important part of it. He has played at a high level for a long time that tells you the quality of the player. There he is. He'll influence games for us, its got good experience, good understanding of what's required, can manage games as well, so yeah really pleased that he's here. You were just speak to us earlier about how, not only does he bring qualities on the pitch in a footballing sense, but he had to really hone in the skills of being vocal. That is a skill, and he learned during his time on a Tony P youtuber and how he feels mae'r cyfnod yw… efallai mae'n gwneud yn dda, ychwanes Ffyrdd yn ddisgyntio i'r cant, ond mae'r adeiladol yn y cyfnodau.

I can see, understand his thinking maybe, up to a point, but he's going to a club where he feels he'll play week in, week out and I can't guarantee that, I don't guarantee anybody a start, you have to play well and you have to be there on marriage. I don't know what promises he's been made, but I probably couldn't match those promises, so that maybe is the reason he wanted to go down again. And Liam then is back to full fitness? Yeah, he's looking really strong, obviously he's been really frustrated beginning of the season, he was obviously playing in the team and then had a real struggle with the injuries that he's had, just couldn't get over the line, so to speak, get up to a point where we think, yeah, he's within. One or two days of being back and then he's ever set back and it's happened two or three times, so touch wood, it looks like he's okay at the moment, he's in a good place and he's looking really strong and he'll push, well they both push each other, so that's what you want. Are you clearing your mind as to who will take that shirt on Saturday? Pretty much, yeah, because Liam hasn't had a lot of training with the group as yet, obviously Talaji's probably a little bit ahead in terms of fitness and game time, so that's my thinking about, like I said, he hasn't played a lot in 90 minutes, so it might be that we've used them both and used them both in coming weeks. How are you body wise going into Saturday? Yeah, everybody's getting it. Yeah, Scotty Banks, I think I mentioned earlier in the week, was back in training, I've had a chat with him, don't think he's ready, obviously he wants to be involved but I don't think he's at the point where he's had enough training, so he wouldn't be involved this weekend but certainly comes into my thinking from that point on. Apart from him, Manny's training for the most part with the group, the early parts and the early elements of the session and not fully integrated yet but getting very, very close. Yeah, pretty much everybody else is okay. On Manny's situation, how close is he now? When you went for a check, he hasn't been totally given the green light in terms of the healing of the bone, I think the feelings, they like it to be 80%, it's probably a bit short of that but I think there'll come a time where Manny will say, listen I feel okay and I'm going to go for it, so he's not far away from that point I think, so he's chomping at the bit to get back playing, as you would imagine. It's a significant injury, we've got to be careful and we'll be guided by obviously the medical people in charge of him but I suspect he won't be far away. Repetitive question I appreciate given it's January but how much more business do you think is taking place? Not so much in terms of income, there may be a few or a couple may go out just to make sure our numbers are correct but yeah, maybe a little bit more business and we'll see and maybe someone will raise his head towards the end as it always does and you think alright okay, maybe that makes sense. We'll always have that proviso but for the most part I'm happy to have the squad shaping and we're brought in some good players, players with energy, players with good understanding of the game and I think we'll be stronger at the end of it. With all that in mind and how well equipped do you feel going into what is the big game today against Carlisle? Yeah, we're looking forward to it. We underperformed up in Carlisle, it's difficult going there. We obviously saw a team that was difficult to play against and once they got the lead we found it very difficult to break down. We had plenty of possession but didn't really create any clear good chances and maybe that was a little bit of the catalyst for us to change and go in a different way and to see if that would benefit us at the top end of the pitch and it has to a point but I just think we need that flexibility depending on who we're playing. Different teams, different formations will cause us different problems and we've got a lot of solutions for it but we're all looking forward to it. Hopefully touch wood weather will be okay and it goes ahead and they're obviously one of our closest rivals so another opportunity to help ourselves and hinder them. Do you just feel like it at six points now, especially at home? Possibly, yeah but we've got any number of games coming up that you could probably put that label on so we just got to see all the cliches. This game, as it comes, we're actually in the second half this season now and remaining games are going to lessen every time we play so we've got to make sure that we're in good position at the end of the season. It won't be defined at the weekend but we can help ourselves at the weekend. Final question from me, is the EFL action being, I think that's the official title anyway. I know you were taking some proper questions actually from the proper question. Yeah, they did very well, yeah. But it's interesting, I've listened to Harry talking this week about the monetary value that the EFL gives back to the community because 800 million was bigger than it gave. But this was all embroiled in the discussion about independent regulatory body coming in to view all of them. I think the plea from him was that more money needs to come down from the Premier League from the big boys there to try and help out clubs at this level. Given that you've been at both ends of the spectrum now, do you see that point of view? Yeah, I can see in terms of, obviously if the money folds down to a greater extent then the safety of clubs at this level is hopefully in a better position and enhanced because the danger is if you lose league clubs from the centre of your community then it's a huge risk. And there's a danger if finances at the lower level are compromised then we've already seen examples of it. So if teams have been lost to their communities and to the wider area then I think that's real shame. So for me if they can filter it down and ensure that obviously the safety and the future of clubs at the lower level of the pyramid are more secure then that's going to be a good thing because it's a huge thing to lose your local football club from your community so anything that can be done to assure or maybe safeguard that it should be done. And that's probably underlined by the fact that we've just come out of the area of cowardlyd where a lot of those clubs were at risk still are at risk as a result? Yeah, yeah and it's, I mean there's a lot of people within these clubs doing marvellous work to just keep clubs going so clearly finances play a huge part of this level and any help that we can. The rewards at the top level are massive but television companies they want the big games at the top level that's why they pay the big books but FL is enough for everybody and you can make huge differences to a lot of people in lower clubs in the pyramid and I think there's discussions to be had certainly and yeah I'd like to say I haven't seen both sides of the coin I think it's something that should happen. As I said there's been a few players come in and there's a lot always made about integrating new players into a team. How do you go about that? How do you not unbalance society? Well you look at your needs and you look at what you feel will enhance the group and you do your homework obviously and whenever you bring a player and it's a slight risk because you're not quite sure how they will react to a new group but for the most part I think integrating somebody into a group is a lot easier if they're good players. Sometimes it causes a problem if you bring somebody in who isn't embraced because there's a slight doubt about their ability to make a difference and I think all the players I brought in will help us and enhance us so I don't anticipate they'll have a problem with the group. The group's open anyway and very welcoming. The good lads who want to see us successful and seeing good players shouldn't undermine players. They should take the view that actually they're coming to help us achieve what we want to achieve and if you have that attitude to it then maybe if you have any kind of doubt of new players coming into the group you should just console yourself with that. Adam said to us earlier that addressing them is quite loud and no one seems to be on the outside of anything. That's got to be a positive from your point of view. We like to think we involve everybody, it's known as if sometimes we have numbers on the training field that aren't ideal in terms that actually when everybody's fit there's probably one or too many for exactly what we do but because we've been doing it a long time and we've got good coaches and good understanding what's required no matter what number we're working with we can get good session and a good work into the guys. It doesn't mean that just because we want to do a certain thing that we've put a group in the corner on their own and they get a little bit disenfranchised and then that's when you have problems but we improve everybody we feel and we integrate everybody so I don't think we've ever pushed people away just because it suits our need on any given day because I think that leads to obviously players being upset with their situation. We include everybody and I think that's why the spirit is really good. Have you spoken to the ground staff that told you to help? No I mean listen we're talking about the weather it's beautiful out there at the moment but yeah I mean I think it's going to get warmer towards the weekend I think that's what we're expecting so I don't anticipate that the game will be in doubt but I'm sure the covers are on at the moment but coming to the weekend it should be okay. Mark, during the summer we know you're saying about bringing players in obviously you can freshen things up, freshen us in the squad I mean is that important also mid-season? Yeah I think there's a little bit of that thinking going on I think it's important. A lot of guys have, what happens is that they start everybody starts with great enthusiasm because they feel they'll be part of the first level. So I haven't been able to manage that on a regular basis so they've been really patient and haven't caused me any problems whatsoever but maybe it comes to a point where you've got to be fair to them and guys that feel that they're the one that have game time from out of the end of the season. A lot more favourably on because they've been so patient and been part and supportive of the guys in the first level they've given that support and they've trained correctly. On occasions I have to be fair with players and understand that they've played their part and maybe as a reward they need to go out and play but it will never be unless I feel we wouldn't be weakened, I feel we can do it favourably but if it's not possible I won't do it. Presumably new players coming in also keep the other ones on their toes. Yeah I think so. They may not know someone too well. Yeah whenever I was playing, whether or not you're interested in my story or not, but when I was playing at good clubs and almost without fail it would be centrefold that they'd be looking at. Every year there was always speculation but I always felt well you're going to have to work exceptionally hard to get me out of the team so I was always round and probably didn't make it easy for my managers if I'm honest because I probably thought I'd call it a day but I always viewed it as a challenge and I think the lad should view it that way and just see it as a challenge and an opportunity to back yourself and back your own ability against somebody there. Maybe it was played at a higher level but if that's the level then see if you can raise your own game to it and if you do then you're going to improve as well. Have you noticed that players perhaps sort of weren't very comfortable but they've sort of perhaps, you know, up the level a little bit because they're sort of seeing... I think that always happens. I think when a new face comes into the building I think that happens. I've certainly seen evidence of that so yeah that's the response you want. That's why you bring new blood in. What's he saying about the sort of change of shape since the Carlisle game? Obviously Andy Cooke's not started the last four games and inevitably this time of year everyone who's not at the team is clearly going here and everywhere. Andy Cooke's not going anywhere. I was going to say, have you had any inquiries or anyone to ask you about Andy Cooke at all? Well, if they did, they probably won just in passing but they get short drift from ourselves. We don't encourage any of it at all. People may question some moves and what I do in them at transfer and magma. Even I wouldn't transfer unless my top scorer. He's had a great first half of the season. I think I've had a conversation with him in terms of like he had a period last year where he had 10, 12 games wherever it was didn't score and he got really down because Andy's very much a confidence player. So I just said, listen, I just felt we didn't want to go down that road again. So if it means just going out of the team for a short period and refreshing you and you come back and you're back at your level, that's what we'll do. So he understood that. So from out to the end of the season Andy's going to be really important for us. Why? How is he at the moment? Is he at the moment? He's okay. He wants to play obviously and if you look at his experience I think he's played a part in every single game. So he's not doing bad in terms of minutes but he always wants to start games and sometimes you have to protect players for themselves. So if you see me the form just waning then take him out, let him have a fresh look at it from the outside in and then come back and be refreshed and be ready to go again. When he does get his comeback he might be coming in right or show this manager that he shouldn't have. I don't mind that at all. I'm sure that will be. Is that your hope at it? That's the point I was making earlier on. Come and prove me wrong. Am up with the changes in society particularly how up is fewer English speaking players. Is it harder to find those leaders like I don't know these? The answer is prevalent. I think dress rooms have changed clearly and certainly when I was managing at the top level, when I was playing and when I started managing predominantly they were British based and they were Irish, Scottish, Welsh, English players and that was the make up of the dressing. That's clearly not the case anymore. There's a lot of diversity in it and managing the same and reacting to poor players or whatever is a little bit dangerous. You've got different culture and a different make up of dressing because players from different countries and different attitudes take criticism in different ways. So you have to learn that and understand that and recognise that it could be a problem if you just bowled in and managed like maybe you did 15, 20 years ago. So it does change but there's still good leadership there. It's not necessarily just British based players that have that character. One of the best leaders that I was ever involved with at Vincent Company came to the shores and stray away from the first moment I was in his company. I realised he was a guy that was going to lead people. You never know. You have to work with them, you have to be around them to understand what they do. But if you have one, two, three, even more within your group then that's going to help you. I mean it just seems we're looking from the sidelines and that's all we do but players maybe talk less, maybe rely more on their coaches. Yeah I think that's true. I mean you've made it broad. It must be difficult to feel confident enough to speak your mind when you're in that situation. There's always ways and means to make yourself heard and I think there is more an honest on looking to the sideline rather than understanding what's happening in a game. It's quite difficult to recognise even the heat of a football match and to recognise what the opposition are doing to you when you're trying to just cope with what demands are being placed on you as an individual. It can be difficult and it takes a lot of talent and a lot of experience I think to recognise what's happening in a game as you are within the game. So probably things that's probably a point that you actually don't see a lot of players being able to understand what's required at any given time and it becomes probably more prevalent that coaches and managers on the sideline have to solve things out from afar. So yeah I can agree up to a point but you can improve that aspect of your team, you can make it better and hopefully players will step up and take up this slack. I mean is that something you'll be saying to your players? Just look at Richie Smallwood, just look at Alan Clayton, you can learn from that side of the game. Players will lead in different ways, Richie is a talker but he leads by example as well. I sense Adam from memory was always somebody who was quite vocal anyway and certainly has done as he's progressed in his career. And Harry we've already mentioned but we've got other leaders in the group as well, Gillie is great in that regard, leads by example another guy that does that. So we have got leadership within the group but if you can add to it along with the ability of the player then that's a good thing. And just in terms of Mattie Foles, is the message to him go out and have a really good half season and we'll keep an eye on you? Mattie's out play, he's coming back in the summer, he was the case, like I said he wanted to take up the opportunity, I was able to make it happen for him because of bringing Talagian. So it coincides obviously with him, back fit as well. If it had been some circumstances maybe three weeks before it wouldn't have happened but sometimes the timing of it just allows you to do that. And Mattie is still out play, he's going out to get games, he's had a good season, he's obviously never played a full season of league football so this is his opportunity to do that. So that's important for his development as well so I think probably that is something that was in the back of his mind that he wanted to achieve this year. And just in terms of obviously you know you brought 16 talk quite rightly at the start of the season when there were even more in about the need for patience, I mean how long do you think it's going to take these guys to bed in? Can you afford much of a bed in in period mid season? I don't think he'll take them very long at all, they're good players, I feel they'll enhance the group almost immediately. We've seen that in training straight away so that's the reason if I felt there was a real period that we had to wait until they were up to speed then it wouldn't have made sense to do it. Because obviously arguably we're on the home straight now, we're taking games off to the end of the season so we haven't got a window where we can allow them to develop and integrate slowly, we've got to get up to speed quick. OK guys, no problem, pleasure.
