 Ben pre-season taken to the next stage, how have we found it so far? It's been really good. We've been really quite surprised at how fit the boys have been, how they've come back. Obviously it was a little bit of a step into the unknown with the amount of time that we've been off, which has never happened before. So we've been really impressed with the way the lads have handled themselves in the off-season. They've come back in really, really good condition, which has surprised us. A robit leave have done really well. In terms of strength work they're a little bit down because they've had a lack of facilities and a lack of available gyms and things over this period. But we've been really, really impressed with the players, they've come back in really good condition. Just give us an idea quickly of what the week, the first week, the first few days of pre-season have consisted of, obviously up until recently we've not been able to enter contact training, has it been a lot of fitness based? It's been good because we've had to do the social distancing, which the lads have been good and endearing to. It's been really a case of trying to find where they're at, so doing the testing with them so we know how much more work we need to do before we can introduce a football. We're happy with the fitness work that they've done in the off-season. It's now a case of gradually introducing a football and just building it up slowly. What we don't want to do is overload them with a football because it would be too much after such a long period of not being able to do contact training, football training. So the first week was just gentle or more steady state passing drills, aerobic base work, strength work to try and build us a base that hopefully now we're into this phase two of contact training. We can take that base and improve on it really. You mentioned the work the lads have been doing while they've been at home, while we've been on lockdown. Has that been much of an impact on the work they've been able to do or not been able to do once we're back to training? It helps us out a lot because obviously we now have a squad that we're happy with their fitness levels. It's just now conditioning their bodies to football the accelerations, decelerations, the things that they might not have been able to do on their own. So it's just a case of being cautious with that. We don't want to be in a situation where we think, well, they're fit enough now, we can now just let them play. We have to build it up gradually and that's the challenge. Obviously the challenge as well is hopefully being able to get pre-season friendlies before the kickoff on the 12th. So it's just taking it to the next level now, but baseline we're happy with where they're at. You were obviously here last season as well for pre-season, it's a very different picture here, both at the club and in the world with everything that's gone on with the pandemic. Do we feel the standards are still there and we're looking at where we are at a similar place to where we were last season? I think aerobics will be that the boys are fitter than they were last season. Probably because they haven't been away on holiday, they've just been trying to tick over. Obviously there was that period of uncertainty where we didn't know if a season was going to be completed last year so they were maintaining their fitness for quite a while until we knew the season was curtailed. Obviously we allowed them to have a break, but then they've been very self-motivated and keeping themselves on top of their fitness. A lot of them have been really finding different ways of training. It's been quite encouraging hearing what they've been doing in the last four months and how they've managed to keep themselves mentally and physically fit. Do you, as coach, feel the correct planning has gone in to make sure that the training is stepped up properly over the course of the next few weeks and months until we start the season? Definitely. That's the important thing now, making sure we're stimulating them in terms of the adaptations for the training but also not overloading them too much too quickly, but the players have been really good. The first couple of weeks have been really positive, there's a really good feeling about the place. Everybody's just really happy to be back. Everyone's obviously a period of uncertainty and the horrible things that are happening around the world but it's good to hopefully put that behind us now and focus on the things that we enjoy doing being on the pitch for the players.
