 Welcome to Toffy TV, we are still at the DW Stadium to do the preview for this weekend's Opal Cup Tournament in Mines, where we'll be playing 60 minutes against Mines and 60 minutes against Seville. Interest on this because the squad doesn't look too deep. Do you imagine that on Saturday we might put out first team 11 and then maybe for the first game and play a whole 60 minutes? And then the second game maybe play a younger side or do you think they'll mix it up so that everyone gets the most out of it and we play two competitive games? It's a tough one because you don't know how they're going to approach it. We've seen tonight that we've basically done that tonight haven't we both? You know 45 minutes with our strongest 11 and then the rest played the second 45 minutes. There was interest and there was no umanias. Yeah, Leighton Baines was obviously in the stands. Bessage played. Do you think you can be tempted to play Bessage this weekend just with the numbers that are needed? Yeah I mean see Michael Key go off with an injury, well a head injury should be fine obviously it was a cut so we got a couple of days to sort that out. Well it'd be interesting obviously you own a slasher and you own a pickford shit, well pickford done what an hour and the slasher got half an hour and imagine they'll both play 60 minutes at the weekend. So it's going to be interesting to see how we split the teams, whether he goes for a mixture of half of that team that started tonight with some younger kids and like you say try to make it competitive. I mean how would you choose which game to make competitive? Well that's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying about having both of them competitive, having a good mix of players for both of them, 60 minute games. I don't think there'll be too many subs and what we've seen is that we know that the squad isn't strong enough to say oh well you're going to get seven or eight first teamers in one game, seven or eight in another. I mean you probably will do that but then you're going to have Gomez, Snidlin, Tom Davis, McCarthy, Delf, it's difficult isn't it? And then you've got the centre forward situation, you know we'll Towson be available, I don't think Towson's anywhere near back yet but then you've got Dom and Carmel doing and then you've got Fraser Homby and you've got Neas somewhere so again how do you do that, how do you make that split? I mean with two weeks till the season to start and should we be seeing a little bit more competitiveness as we stand right now? Yeah it's difficult to centre forward positions cos obviously we are so thin, obviously ideally we'd have Britialison available, we'd have Jeng Towson available and then you could mix it up and play two good cover one game and two the other over have you but we haven't got that. We may have three out of push which is Dom and Carmel doing, Uman i Ash and Fraser Homby unless he tries to play Thale through the middle but then we've got no one on the right so it'll be interesting to see what kind of squad he takes over to Germany. I just think you look at it purely for me, two weeks of the season to go, is it a fitness exercise or are we, should we start to be looking at this season or does that not matter, does that get done on the training pitch? And these games are still all about fitness because last season to be fair at this stage we were still all about trying to get fitness and the players didn't come until late and there was a lot of worry saying that we were defending and then come day one it's almost like well it's day one, it's time to be professional, we're switched on. So we have to look at Saturday the same and just be like well it's a fitness exercise, it goes up a level, don't get me wrong the fitness goes up a level and the intensity goes up. So I'm open and I'm looking at it from that point of view and thinking, I mean do you think that there might be players who play in both games and again the fitness level goes up again? What I think is there might be subs so that everyone does and I think it's difficult when you're playing any kind of tournament at any level isn't it, the minute you finish the game to then go back again an hour later and get the intensity back up. I think it's really really difficult to do that, I think you're okay playing a full hour and I think that's what we need. You know we've seen Mason Holgate played and probably 50 odd, 55 minutes tonight because Michael Keeman often did he came on. Other players we saw Lewis Gibson playing 90, you know we've seen players playing 90 minutes in Monaco, Lucadine and stuff. So I think what we may see is team one playing hour and team two playing hour and drag it up and then by the time we go to Werther Brem and the following Saturday you've got your team and hopefully a few more players. Well the Charleston's back isn't it so I expect that even if he's on for the last 20, 25 you'll be involved but you're going to be, listen let's hope by the time we go to Bremum we've got a couple of new additions in as well. But I think Saturday you'll be about trying to get an hour out of most players and I think if most players play an hour at the weekend regardless of how the teams are made up. I think as long as we come through with no injuries and players have got an hour under the belts I think the man has the other thing, right we step it up again back to Finch Farm on Monday and we step it up again with that way to Bremum. By the time we go to Bremum I'd expect half of the lads who were involved tonight not to be anywhere near the squad then either so that's how we have to look at it. I honestly thought a lot of the players we've seen against Wigan would have been already out of the squad but it just shows that. I mean of course there's a fitness element isn't there so it's going to be, but Saturday you just change that all up again doesn't it of course. All's had to say is it's a conundrum isn't it because we've talked about how can you carry a smaller squad but then if you carry in a smaller squad you can't complain if it's thin because we're not at a level where we've got 20 players who are all at the same level so we might be able to get 15, 16. That's the ideal, that are all at a good level. You're going to have some players who are just a bit below that and if you're playing at tournaments like we are at the weekend you're always going to have younger players involved as well. I've seen other clubs with friends, Liverpool and Arsenal and teams like that have had kids in their teams so far because they haven't got everyone back and you're trying to balance it out. But I mean listen, I'd love to come to the DW stadium whilst we're in 3-0. We play great and you're all excited. It's going to be great for the fans, the fans are going to have a laugh over there. It's going to be brilliant over in Germany watching a couple of games enjoying themselves. It's 12 o'clock midday in Germany so 11 o'clock in the UK. You'll be alright if you go and be great as long as there's no long coach tips. Sorry it's a little bit of a shorter preview but we're getting stuck into this stadium situation and it's going to take up a little bit of our time so we thought we'd get this done today and be ready for the stadium and everything that comes with that. Let us know your thoughts on the tournaments over the weekend, how are you looking at it? Do you think it's time we start taking it a bit more serious or is it just simply still a fitness exercise?
