confident fit good pleased powerful quite run seems
He is back fit now, which I am pleased about. He is a powerful lad, who seems confident after a good run in the team, and quite right too.
best certainly chance leaving players return
There is no chance of AJ leaving during the window. If we want to return to The Premiership we have to keep our best players here - and AJ is certainly one of those.
blatant dive injury player
If there is a blatant dive and a player is feigning injury when there is no contact, they should be fined.
good lean relieved spell tried
Clinton's relieved to be back scoring. It's been a lean spell for him but he's a good striker and I've tried to be encouraging.
cent per
If I was to say where we were, I'd say we were at about 80-85 per cent where we can be.
fantastic front gets outside pass result sat
It was a fantastic pass with the outside of his boot, AJ said it just sat up in front for him, you know the result when he gets there.
real four sometimes
There are some real positives for Wales. Their back four's not bad, sometimes.
runaway
That was totally against the runaway
tired sick enough
I did enough algebra when I was at university, so I am sick and tired of that.
jumping england driving
I'm not jumping on the Andy Johnson for England bandwagon - I'm driving it!
thinking ethos training
I think he likes it. He fits in with our ethos. He's a good worker and is an excellent pro. Thank goodness he likes his training or else he wouldn't settle here.
strong goal brave
Andy Johnson is quick, brave and strong and he will get goals,
eye writing interesting
I thought a bit of poetry might be interesting - I even write a few lines myself. I composed a short poem for my mum's 70th birthday recently. When I recited it I saw the glint of a tear in her eye...although I guess it wasn't the quality of the poetry was that making her cry!
friday player night
I monitor the food my players eat on a Friday night. It's no good if they've had two vindaloos and a kebab.
