 James, preces yn well under way now, have you found it so far? Yeah it's been tough but really good, we've done some really good work over the last week and the lads are getting into the ball work now so the lads are always finding that more enjoyable. Yeah obviously you're one of our new players, we're our new signings. How much have you enjoyed coming in and getting to know the lads and getting to know Gary and his staff obviously as well? It's been really good, I've really enjoyed my first week. There's been a lot of emphasis on team spirit and you can see the lads coming together already and you know, going full 12 for the rest of the season I think. Gary spoke a lot about very physically demanding preces and a lot of intense work, can you echo that how tough have you found it, how much have you enjoyed it? Yeah it's been really tough, we've done a lot of different things and working really hard so it's been good. You spoke a lot personally about wanting to bring a lot of character to the side, how much has that been apparent in the training both from what Gary's demanding of you and what you're demanding of yourself as well, have you tried putting yourself about there and be a leader for the SC team mates a little bit? Yeah definitely, I mean I'm definitely one of the older heads now so it's a case of helping the lads get through it, you know, we've all been helping each other out, you can see when the lads are doing the running, we're all cheering each other on and getting through it so it's been a really good first week and you know, we just need to stick together and get through the rest of the work and then it should be good. And obviously like we say, you're one of the new signings, there's a lot of new signings, older new signings as well that are in there as well, how much have you helped them even though you're a new signing yourself to sort of settling as well as a few trial lists in there as well where you'll be helping them and again like we say, hoping to be a leader on the pitch and helping them settling. Yeah definitely, I enjoy that side of things, helping the younger lads and getting through it but it's a case of we all need to stick together, you know, it's going to be a long season and we need a lot of team spirit and like I say, we've emphasised that a lot this season so far and we want to take that forward. Yeah and finally, a first friendly against Gaisley just around the corner, can we expecting to see the training sort of build up towards that and the intensity go up but as the week goes on is it a case of preparing for that game, preparing for the rest of the friendlies do you think? Yeah definitely, I think you know the balls will be introduced a lot more this week, a lot more football based training, a lot of hard running last week so I'm hoping that we do a little bit more football but you know the games are important but it's still pre-season so we've got to get our working and take it going into the season. And how much are you looking forward to the friendlies then obviously they say that there's no training like match training, you can do all the running in the world but it must be good to get back on the pitch and have that feeling back in you. Yeah that's what we all train for, we train for the matches and although it's a pre-season game you know we want to start on the right foot and get a positive result and take that forward.
