00:00You said after Sheffield United, Jack, that you will win the fans back and get them back onside.
00:04How do you feel like they're with you really now?
00:05Yes, personally, on Saturday, it wasn't the best game,
00:10but as a group, it was exactly what we're about as a football club.
00:16Hard to beat, just horrible, really.
00:18And that's exactly what, not what we want to go out and be,
00:21but we want to add that football inside to it.
00:24And I think against Middlesbrough, that was definitely shown.
00:28And I think, not that we wasn't that against Sheffield United,
00:32but we wasn't at the standards that we set ourselves.
00:36And I think on Saturday, that's the targets that we set and the standards that we set.
00:40And we can build on that massively.
00:43You said not the best day for yourself, but second half,
00:45do you feel like you really stood up to it and showed what you're about?
00:49Yes, I just think it's...
00:51I played the first game of the season and then the Harrogate game,
00:54and then I've been out and it's just training.
00:57It's hard to get back into the swing of things when it's been like that.
01:00But, you know, you push yourself, you test yourself daily.
01:02And some days, for 45 minutes, an hour, it might not work.
01:06And then it does.
01:07That's part and parcel of our job.
01:09Everyone in their own job role will have a tough day or whatever.
01:12And that was one-on-one and I'm confident enough
01:16and big enough to take it on the chin and move on.
01:18Is it a bit of a challenge?
01:20Are you asking the defence to play a bit higher than they were?
01:22Yes, it is tougher and it's different to adapt,
01:27but that's one that I've just got to get used to if I want to be playing for a football club.
01:32Overall, what are the biggest differences you've noted so far under the new manager?
01:37Is he off the ball?
01:38Is he asking for a bit more?
01:40Not off the ball, he's not on the ball.
01:42He's playing more and being brave on the ball.
01:46Not that the old manager didn't do that,
01:48but it's just imprinted a bit more to do that now.
01:52And for me, that's something that's good for me.
01:55It's just getting used to it again.
01:57Do you feel like we've seen the best of you here yet?
01:59Or do you think it's still to come there and you're not returning to show that?
02:03Yes, no, I'm the first one to criticise myself.
02:06And yes, far from the best of what I'm capable of and it will come.
02:13I don't think you've had a real run, have you, in midfield last season?
02:17Are you praising for that, really?
02:18No, I think so far my pressing career has been a bit
02:21of a stop-start in different positions, down to bad form injuries.
02:27And, you know, hopefully at some point I can kick on
02:30and then show the rest of the club what I can.
