 Well we are here with Mark Travers now it's been a brilliant season for the Ireland international we're going to look through some of his top saves now Travers I know you're very humble and I know you're not going to want to big yourself up too much but we're going to go through them you're going to talk us through them and it's going to be exciting to look back over the season so far so if you want to hit play on there then we'll start with QPR at home earlier in the season obviously talk us through it from from your point of view yeah as you say earlier early game in the season it was you know a really really big game you felt against well now it looks like two obviously people trying to get promoted so looking back it was an important game and yeah remember to save was it was late on in the game and I think the pressure come the last 10 15 minutes so yeah it was nice to to make some saves and definitely made the most of the second save with that one it was obviously a double save as you say how important is it to you know stay on the ball and stay on it stay focused so late on in the game yeah definitely I think that's part of being a goalkeeper you have to sort of stay focused and be ready for your moments when they come because there's been a lot of tight games this year so a lot of the pressure has come late on so yeah just try to stay focused and always expect unexpected definitely absolutely if you want to hit play I think we've got another one from this game coming up so as the ball's over on that right hand side it's coming across what's going through your head do you expect them to take that shot as early as they did there not really to be fair I think Lloyd you just got a touch on it but yeah work with the work we do and training we always sort of try and give ourselves depth in the goal and give ourselves as much reaction time as possible so I think just leading into that getting into the right position gives you that chance to sort of make a save if you're needed definitely talking of sort of training and reaction times obviously you don't know what's going to face you in the game you don't know what reactions you're going to need to make how can you prepare yourself for that match situation yeah definitely it's always tough to because in a game you only get that one chance where in training you probably have a lot more shots to do it but that's why the standard of coaching we have with Bertie and guys really helps us you know to sort of train those moments within the session and so it's really important the work we do on the training pitch day in day out people probably don't recognize the amount of stuff we do to for when their moments come we can be as prepared as possible now full of my way a huge game it's one that supporters will have you know had an eye on from the start of the season it was a big game just to sort of have a look at this clip and you know talk us through this save it was point-blank range yeah you know as you can you felt the atmosphere in this game was a really massive game for for both teams really and I think this one here it's one of them you sort of to stay front foot and his torch sort of allowed me to gain a few yards and I was able to just close them down and get get close to the ball and you know make myself as big as possible and lucky I came came off my leg now this one the ball comes across it's Harry Wilson we know him very well yeah that's a save you know with your big right hand there it obviously falls quite kindly to full and but they missed that one just talk us through it the ball comes across yeah it's a header down you know how are you preparing for that moment yeah definitely as you said we know that the quality obviously Wilson has been here and obviously Mitrovich is such a aerial threat so yeah similar to the first one just tried to once you know you can come from the cross you try and drop off and give yourself as much depth as possible in time to react so yeah look as I was able to get set and keep out Mitrovich has been in unbelievable form this year so that was always a nice moment to look back on definitely it was a powerful header it must have needed a strong right hand to you know palm it away from goal as you did there yeah definitely I think it's probably the weak leading up to that as well we we would have done a lot of work on the training pitch trying to prepare ourselves for you know I think they'd the most crosses in the league at that time so we have to sort of you know keep keep working on that and prepare for that come coming that game day definitely now another big game blackburn at home it didn't quite go the way we would have liked but this save one-on-one with Ben Barrett and Diaz you know one-on-ones the strikers always favor but you managed to get down and and save that one yeah as you say it was it was a disappointing result on the day but yeah these ones are always difficult because you know he's in on goal and you have a lot of time to think about it but yeah I just tried to drop off give myself time and once he took that big touch just sort of gave myself a chance to to try and get as close to them as possible and narrow down the angle with one-on-ones is there anything in particular that you do to prepare for them because as you say you know you have a bit more time to think about them generally and they're you know racing down on goal and it's just you facing them what what goes through your mind in that situation yeah I think you have to be you know as relaxed as possible I think you know we work on giving ourselves time to react so we drop off initially unless you can't affect it the first ball and then depending on the strikers touch you react off that if it's a big touch maybe you could take a few yards and and get as close as possible or if it's quite close to them you can just stay in the position yeah and try and make him you know put it in the in the side net and definitely now Barnsley away this was another big game it had come sort of you know after a few results that again didn't didn't go the way we wanted but we knew how important it was it was a tough place to go tough conditions that that saved there the balls coming across he gets there before the defender just tell us how it was from your point of view you must have seen that one quite late yeah yeah I think I think it was this point the first off is wasn't wasn't the best kick sort of invited the press on they would nick the end and got it so yeah I think sort of putting that disappointment behind you nice and quick and just focus on the next next action which I try to do and yeah it was just a low cross sort of in behind there back for and yes similar to the previous one just tried to make myself as big as possible and narrow the angle and yeah as I say look at it rebounded off me and was able to make the save again this is a different one it comes from a free kick it's in that that near post you must have had a good angle of it the shot comes in and and what's going through your head you know how are you reacting to that situation a free kick that doesn't quite get cleared at the first opportunity yeah definitely I think with the first initial cross you're trying to be as positive as you can and try and come and catch it first of all and then once you know you can get near it as I spoke about before just trying to get that depth drop off a few yards to give yourself some time to react and yeah and lucky it was close enough to me which was out to get a parry on it as well so yeah quite similar to most of safe just dropping off give yourself some time to react and yeah thank those out to make the save obviously when a free kick comes into the box from that distance you're probably expecting it to come in and someone will try and get a head on the ball but that one came in low and it was a shot with the foot were you expecting that at the time or do you have to just prepare yourself for every possible situation that could happen yeah definitely I think I just say just prepare for sort of any action I think yeah normally you'd expect it to be into the box you expect headers and second balls but it's unusual to see obviously a ball played in and to be shot with the foot so yeah just trying to expect expect anything and always be ready for for what's to come now Birmingham at home this game was quite recent I'm sure a lot of supporters will remember it was here at Vitality Stadium now this save came 2-1 up and down to 10 men now if that goes in it could be a completely different game but the ball comes across he gets the shot on target but you're there again making yourself big yeah I think as you say it was a it was a tough game last week but it was a big moment in the game obviously down to 10 men and they just scored a goal so I think with this this save I just try to stay as balanced as possible not trying to gamble or lean one way or the other so just try to stand still as I could and get prepared for the shot luckily it was yeah just my right hand side I was able to get a hand to it so yeah just trying to as I say stay calm and relaxed in that situation and to be as balanced as possible and something that this season I've we've worked really hard on in the training ground trying to stay up as long as you can and not gambling or dropping to one side too early so I'm trying to put the pressure back on the striker and when you're at full stretch like that and you get your fingertips to it you must get such a buzz afterwards especially when you can hear the crowd going in the roar from the crowd yeah definitely I'd say it's it's similar to well as close as we can get a score on a goal so yeah it is great to obviously make saves and and contribute to winning to win in the game and you do get a great buzz from that from the fans as well so it's always nice to experience that as well now Blackpool away I just want to start by talking about the conditions here because for a goalkeeper that must have been absolutely horrible to play it must have been an absolute nightmare yeah I think I sort of loved it in a way because it brings you back to playing as a kid when you used to be filthy full of muck diving everywhere so as you say was pouring down with rain I think everyone was full of muck but I don't think Duncan the kit man would be too happy with us but yeah as you say it's just one of them one of them things you have to stay concentrated on and you know if you have to punch it or catch you have to make good decisions in those conditions so yeah with that save as well as similar to what we spoke about just trying to stay as still as possible and not lean to any side and and be as reactive as I as I can be and yeah lucky I was able to to get two hands to it and push it away for that one there obviously it's been played back he's almost got a free shot at goal he's not very far out what what's going through your head you know you know you're gonna have to make some kind of save it's probably gonna go on target again how are you preparing what's going through your head in that split second yeah course I think as you say it comes back to sort of constant concentration and just sort of maybe you know believe in yourself in that minute and trying to stay stay as patient as you can and trying to not like everything you work on and train and try and just take it into the game and sort of trust the work you've put in on the training ground that will come off on a match day and that's sort of my mindset that I've been putting in is just sort of yeah trust in what you know and trying to deliver on a match day. We'll come on to this one here I don't even know where to start with it I think it was a fantastic save fans were raving about it on the social media just talk us through it from your point of view you made yourself so big there and it was sort of Schmeichel-esque shall we say I've seen a few fans compare it to to Peter Schmeichel just talk us through I'm sure a lot of fans will be keen to hear hear your point of view. Thanks yeah I think yeah it's just one of those see the ball going past me and I see the big striker coming in to make contact with and as you say just try to probably yeah take a little bit from different goalkeepers as well as you say Schmeichel does that sort of big save a lot so just sort of trying to be as reactive as I can and try to narrow down the goal as much as I could I thought that was the best way to do it was just step into it and make myself as big as possible and you know luckily it came off my right arm so I think sometimes just got a sort of go-off feels natural as well and I think that was definitely the scenario where I felt like I could just go at him and make myself as big as possible. Now for that game obviously we won it in the last minute it was absolutely fantastic we saw you run up the other end of the pitch and celebrate with the lads that must have been a lovely moment after your contribution earlier in the game. Yeah definitely it was a great feeling I think sort of being the other end of a disease and a few times conceding goals late on so I think it was a great sort of momentum boost for the squad and it definitely brings everyone closer together and that feeling of winning late on and yeah I ended up was nearly run over to the fans and I had to change direction over to the to the Benz to join in everyone so I was just yeah just a great buzz as the first one sort of of the season we got a last minute winner so yeah I felt I had to join in and enjoy the celebration. Now with the Barnsley game and and with that one against Blackpool obviously particularly that one you know we'd scored a last-minute winner we'd had a couple of debuts but you still came away with the MSP Capital Muller the match does that for you that must be a really nice moment you know when you see it's been voted for by the fans and and they've recognized that given how much else has gone on during the game. Yeah definitely I think as you say it's great that the fans you know voted for me there could have been a lot of other players that got it but obviously grateful to the fans for for picking me and it definitely gives you a lot of confidence and that I take into it to the next few weeks as well it's always nice to get that on top of a great result. And just finally we've got to ask you how are you feeling at this point in the season you know we're over halfway the finish line is in sight we're not there yet there's still a lot of games to play and a lot of hard work to be done but how are you feeling your confidence must be at a good level and the mood in the camp seems very good. Yeah I think everyone's definitely really confident and positive about the about the run-in but I think the manager and all the players we just we keep saying to the focus on each game as it comes trying not to you know be looking at everyone else's results just just focus on what we can do and if we keep performing like we did at the weekend showing that togetherness and fighting to the end I think we can put ourselves in a great position come May but yeah just have to keep game by game and see where it takes us definitely. Well Traves thank you for sitting down with us it's been brilliant to look over the season so far and hopefully we'll be able to do this again in the summer with a few more big saves and maybe a medal round on it. Yeah definitely thank you.
