00:00Is that a strong side of what you're about? Sort of coming inside and releasing a curling shot like that?
00:04Yeah, I think that's what I've always practiced that from young and I've always loved to do that.
00:08So I think, yeah, it's when I get my opportunity to get onto that right foot, I will take that,
00:14but I've got to mix up my game as well. I go left or right, but yeah, like I said,
00:17when I get my chance to get on my right foot like that, I will. I will shoot.
00:21You have to be patient. Is this week going to be about putting your hand up and saying,
00:24you know, I've got my goal off the bench now, I'm going to get my first start?
00:26No, no, it's whatever the gaffer wants. I think it goes game to game. I think depending on
00:31who we verse or how we want to line up, I think I've got to just listen to whatever the gaffer
00:36wants and I'll put my best foot forward in training and I always keep doing that. I always
00:41keep working on those sort of shots or hopefully score a couple more, but I think, yeah, whatever
00:47the gaffer wants, I'll put my best foot forward and yeah, that's it.
00:50Yeah, gaffer's gone from a stretch position where he's looking for people to put their hands up
00:53to play on the wings because the shorter numbers tell you a good competition. Is he enjoying that?
00:57Has he spoken to you about that?
00:59I think there's a, it's created a different variety in training. I think I can play out
01:06wide or I can play out wide and come inside as well with the ball and I think it just creates
01:11competition in the squad and that's important going forward to push each and everyone forward
01:19and ultimately it makes the team better. So that's the goal and yeah, we're just going to
01:25keep pushing forward.
01:26You've got a taste of a goal, you've got a taste of what it's like to score in front of the
01:30Blackpool fans as well. So has that made you hungry for more?
01:33Oh, for sure. I think, yeah, scoring's been a long time coming for me, like I said, and
01:38especially to do it in front of the fans like that, that's even more better and more special.
01:43So again, I'm grateful for that and hopefully more to come in front of them.
