Rwy'n dechrau'n sefydig o'r dechrau, rydyn ni'n sylwedd yn dechrau phab glai. Efallai ydych chi'n mynd i gwybod nhw, dych chi'n wneud hynny, mynd i allu i'r perlwygrau ac a'r ddechrau yn y llai gyddyf Pokwydol. Am ei ddiwedau erioed lle ar y peth. Rwy'n credu iawn o'r clwp bod arall mwy o'ch bynnag ar y gyfnogol yw'r iawn. Fyddai'n dechrau fe'n cyffredig ar hynny, ac mae'n gwasanaent yn fywd â'r peth ar gyfer y lle.

Mae'r byw yw'r bod, mae'n meddwl i'r tyfu at y gweithgaredd, ond rwy'n meddwl o'r gweithgaredd. We thought we played reasonably well first half and had a reasonable control but didn't really have that correct ball or correct appreciation or pass to create really wide open chances that would have led to go. So, did he increase our ability in that regard? On the weekend, what are the conversations being like today now? You've had a couple of days to digest Saturday? Wel, we were disappointed with the game, but obviously because going back on level terms we should have been able to see the game out so that was a frustration. I think having watched it two, three times since as a self, the first half we did okay without having that quality of ball that we needed just to create those chances that lead to goals. Second half it became a little bit more mae hanesain i gael yn griffwyr y byddai hynau ac yn y defnyddio. Felly mae'n mynd i symud o'n fyw i'ch gweithio, felly mae'n gweithio ganlosio ddau i gael.

I think it's a competition that, yeah, take your point that maybe it certainly hasn't got the gudos of the FA Cup, never has, and in the early round I think it's been tinkered with and tempered a little bit in terms of its importance, but if you get to the quarter-final, semi-final, all of a sudden it starts to take on a lot more significance. Let's hope we're in that situation where it becomes very prominent in terms of our priorities, so it's still a good competition. At last stage there's very good competitions, this is what you want to be involved in, if you can. And this club, in its 10th anniversary of getting to the final, it almost epitomises that there is still magic in this competition, doesn't it? Yeah, I mean, if you go to Wembley final at the end of it, that's the prize, and why wouldn't you want to be part of that? There's only so many competitions that you take part in, and there's only a few of them that you have actually, any chance whatsoever of winning, so why not have a go at them all? All city, coming to town, they've had a reasonable start, winning a draw, they're going to be a great test for your side, aren't they? What have you made to them so far? Yeah, they're a good sight. I've looked at them obviously after the weekend and looked at the way they go about their business. A lot of good intelligent play, a lot of movement through the back, interchanging positions at the top end of the pitch, as you would imagine. Good teams do, so yeah, it'll be a big test for us, I'm not sure how strong they'll go, maybe they'll take a view on the game they have at the weekend, I think they've got Norwich, so it might be that they might prioritise that ahead of a game against us, but we'll have to win, so you never quite know until actually you see the team sheets on the line. And shots around for Lads, a striker like yourself, have a great time up at Rangers, you came across him a couple of times playing for your respective countries, what do you know of him and his style of play? Not a great deal, he's obviously a very knowledgeable football man, he's managed in a lot of countries and he's back here now and you want to do well. The ownership obviously is new and they want to make an impression clearly, all new ownership groups do, so they want to be successful quickly. So there'll be pressure for him, as there's pressure on all managers, so it'll be interesting to see how he does after all game. Best of luck for him. Obviously, as you said, there's a Wembley file at the end of this, and it's very rare, perhaps one of the only fourth tier club ever to have got to the final, and a lot's made of the financial implications of a cup run, what are the football implications, what are the benefits from it footballing wise? Well, I think in the early part of it, it's about being able to get some rhythm to your play, I think we're only two games in, so as I said before, some of the guys aren't at the level we know they're capable of yet, so it does take time, some guys can get up to speed quickly, others need three, four, five games, so this is another game very quickly after the weekend which will enable a lot of the guys just to up their levels to where we know they're capable of. So, you use it for the right reasons, you always want to progress. I've always tried to show respect to cup competitions, I'm very rarely, I think, early in my managerial career, I remember a Blackburn, one of the first games I had there, and I put out a sigh that was predominantly the guys that needed a game and got caught out, so I haven't done it since. So, don't you tend to do it again? Obviously, it's straight to penalties if it's level at 90 minutes, is that something you practice or is it something you just have to practice? We haven't on this occasion, I think it's that old adage, it's very difficult to replicate what you'll have in terms of adrenaline and the crowd as well and the significance of the shot you're about to take, so it is very difficult to do it. The less that normally take penalties, we'll practice them anyway and do that throughout their time as for popular, so there's not too much to it. I always think, from my point of view, it didn't take many penalties if I'm honest, I didn't like them, so I always felt well if you're taking a penalty at the end of the game after, usually after extra time, but after 90 minutes, I think it's always better to try and hit it as hard as you can because you're going to be tired after 90 minutes, you start side-fighting and trying to be cute, I think you lose a little bit of power and keepers can read you because the ball's not travelling as quick, so that's my theory anyway. Presumably, even worse than that, as a player being as a manager, there's nothing you can do. No, no, you pick the five or the ones that follow and that's about doing the influence you can have on it. You can encourage everybody to do their best and, gee, you go-keeper up, hopefully, he will play a part, but like I said, it's in the lap of the gods when you get to penalties. Both goals on Saturday obviously scored by substitutes, I mean that's obviously, we talk about the competition for places, that impact, I mean that's presumably what you want to see players coming out. Well yeah, that shows to me when lads are able to come on the pitch and have an impact, it shows to me that they're fully engaged in the game and they're understanding that when they do get a chance or if they get a chance, then they've got to understand what the requirement is when they come on. And clearly Cookie and Yungi came on to a really good effect, Jake obviously recognised that we wanted to get in behind and he's got great strength and he's got great speed as well once he gets the ball out of his feet. And Cookie will always have a chance in the box just because of his physical nature and he messes people around and things drop to him in the box. So yeah, for their part, exactly what I wanted from them, so it's a shame that introduction of the two subs kind of had a more positive end result, but pleased with their contribution obviously. I think we spoke, I think after the York gave about, so Vandy Cook and Ruth Fadain Oliver coming in about you sort of said that's the challenge for them to meet now and players coming in and making an impact like that off the bench show that they're not sort of perhaps sulking or sitting there thinking they're not going to get a chance. Well I haven't seen any of that, I think guys are backing themselves, they want to be part of obviously what we're doing or trying to do this year, so they want to be part of that and yeah everybody's fully engaged and that's how it needs to be, that's how it should be. And in terms of obviously, again Tim Odyssey, you said at the weekend he was fit enough to be in that squad, I mean is it, are you considering sort of for a game or is it a case you're going to have to introduce him slowly from the bench and perhaps? We'll look at it, I think it's probably important that we get in game time, it's more difficult to introduce centre halves gradually from the bench, you can do it with strikers and wingers and creative players but it's a little bit more problematic I think to do that with centre halves but he's got that ability to be able to do that if I ever think it's necessary. But it's more likely that when he does play a part he'll be from the stand. Presumably he's desperate a case. Yeah it's been really unfortunate that the pre-season he pretty much missed it all through illness and through injury and his close season work wasn't great because obviously he was trying to come to us and it became a bit difficult to get the training during that close season. So he has been a number of weeks behind so he's getting up to speed now though so that's good. Obviously Luke Henry was in the travelling party at the weekend so are you getting close now? Yeah and those have been fit for a couple of weeks now so he's like Timmy just lacking a little bit of game time so he's probably ready for the game himself. Mark it wasn't just the leak, your record personally was exceptional, does knockout football still give you a buzz? Oh yeah well as a player I used to love cup games, there was always that helmet of jeopardy if you didn't do your job right then you weren't going to progress and you missed out on an opportunity to win cups and that was for the most part what I enjoyed about my career was that for the most part almost every year I had a cup run or a chance to win a league title so that was always part of my playing careers. Clearly as a manager that's less so because I haven't been at similar stature clubs but I think you should always give your best shot. I see sometimes and don't get me wrong some circumstances for clubs don't allow them to go full strength but when I see maybe league two, league one clubs now playing their full compliment because maybe they've got a league game at the weekend, I'm not sure about that I think. The beauty of the cup is obviously your giant killing and the lower league teams going up against bigger teams and causing a shock so I like that idea. And just that mentality of playing those one-off games it just builds a winning mentality doesn't it which is what you need in your squad? Yeah I mean the format has changed from when I played obviously if you went away from only a battle for a draw then you're quite happy to bring the club back to your own place and try and beat them there but that's been taken out of the mix to a certain extent but I think we've got the benefit of being at home so let's make sure we take advantage of that. And we know the expectations on this club this season we know you're not shying away from them but do you think the fact that you're playing a championship club might provide a little bit of release for the squad in that you'll be judged more on performance than result perhaps? We'll always be judged on results because that's why we're in this business but performance levels is important because good performance levels lead to better results that's a given. So we've just got to keep on making sure that we improve step by step make sure that the game we've last played isn't the level that we're at when we play our next game. We've got to keep on improving, I sense that we will. We've got good talent, good group of players so we're working hard to make sure that we're successful this year. Setback of the weekend but not catastrophic, a lot of good elements to our play that we'll continue to implement and use but just got to be sharper and more clinical at the top end. And Scott Banks seems like very much a player will get fans off the seats given that your fan base is probably one of the big strengths of this club. Is it important that you have players and a style of play that will excite the fans to sort of get them there? Yeah, I think we've got a lot of players like that. Yeah, Scott's coming from obviously a Premier League club. He's played in big games as well so he's used to a big stage. That's the beauty of bringing him into this environment. He won't faze him so he's well thought of at Crystal Palace so they expect him to do good things here. They're pleased that he's coming to us because of the platform that we can provide him. So yeah, we're looking forward to seeing him play. And I know he went away with the first team in preseason. Where's he at physically in terms of being able to start? Yeah, we'll check on all that. Obviously I've spoken to him this morning but I'm going into this detail in terms of where he's at fitness-wise. I would imagine he's fine. Game time might be a little bit compromised but we'll see when we have that conversation.
