 Ben pre-season well underway now, how have you found it so far? It's been really good. We're into a second week. It's been difficult. We've been double sessions. We've tried to test the players mentally and physically. A lot of team building exercises because we've had a lot of new players in. But they've looked really fit, they've looked really strong. They've responded really well to everything we've done. A lot of the sessions we've done in the gym in the afternoon, we're just trying to get good habits that we want to work for out of the season so we're setting the standards now, making sure that in the afternoon on a Monday they're going to be doing yoga, which is something we've brought in this year because we think it will help with the recovery. Tuesdays and Thursdays they do sessions in the gym with me and the lads have responded really well and we're really happy with where they are at the moment. Gary's spoken about a very physically demanding pre-season campaign. We're going to be playing a very physical league next season. Do you think the training has mirrored that and how do you think the boys have coped with it? I think they've coped really well and it has been challenging. The first two weeks is more of a general approach. We try and overload them in different ways, whereas after the second week we're going to more football-specific and position-specific work, but the first two weeks we have been challenging them and they have responded really, really well. The attitude and the morale has been really, really good. The teams are jelling really well as well, which is really, really encouraging. We've tried to make the most of this time to work on different things, looking at the nutrition of the players, recovery and spending a little bit of time on things that you might not get as much time in the season to do. We, like I say, the first couple of weeks have been really, really positive. Obviously, you're new here as well. How much have you enjoyed coming in, spending time with the players, getting to know them and obviously working with Gary and the rest of the staff as well? It's been brilliant. Obviously, Martin and Gary plan every sessions to really, really find detail so we know exactly what we're doing every day. The schedule has been planned weeks in advance. We know the loads that we're going to be getting into players. We can adapt them just if we need to, but that's been really, really good. It's good for me to come in right at the beginning of pre-season, so we can set the standards how we want it from day one, and I've been really happy with that. So that's been really, really good. You spoke very well of the training facilities here at the training ground when you first came in. Can that be reinforced now where you were accustomed to your surroundings, impressed with everything? Yes, brilliant. For example, we had last week one day where we felt the energy levels were a little bit low, so we got the boys into the pool in the afternoon. We had a plan to do on the grass, but we made the use of the facilities, and having that here is brilliant. We've got an amazing pool, an amazing gym, and we're using that to the maximum, really. We're running track behind me, which the players might not enjoy tomorrow, but it's going to be good for them in the long run, and it's been a fantastic facility for us. Finally, the friends will be coming up thick and fast now. Obviously, training will be due to changing terms of more ball work and things like that we're thinking, but obviously, the fitness is still important and how much of a precedent you think that will set over the course of the season will we continue to be training the physicality as well? Obviously, once the season starts, we'll be looking, monitoring loads more carefully with a view to making sure that we're peaking for the games. At the minute, the games are a little bit of a fitness exercise. Obviously, it's important for the management staff to get their tactical input and what they want to do in games as well, so that's really, really important, but we will be training harder than we would do in a normal weekend in the season, leading into friendly games, but we've got a really good mix of friendly games coming up against different opposition, so it'll be a good test for the boys, and we're just really looking forward to starting.
