This is promising but is it words or deeds?
Implies less Chuckle Brothers from goal kicks et al
This segment does not mention using wingers not players stood on the wing but out of position like Brooks and Barry

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,209
It's the first time we've had
the chance to speak to you
2
00:00:02,210 --> 00:00:06,540
since the close of the transfer
window came and passed.
3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:10,002
So, when the bell tolled,
how satisfied were you
4
00:00:10,003 --> 00:00:12,701
with the volume of players
that were brought in?
5
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:17,160
Well, I think it has been a big turnaround
for the club, especially in the last week,
6
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:19,569
having six players in the
last seven days, I think
7
00:00:19,570 --> 00:00:22,580
it's eight in total in the
last ten days of the window.
8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:29,121
Also with some players going out, so we are
satisfied in the way that the window went.
9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,932
Obviously, we discussed
during the summer that we want to
10
00:00:32,933 --> 00:00:35,661
be able to do it a little bit
earlier, but it is what it is.
11
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:42,140
We are satisfied with the end,
but also we know the business and then a
12
00:00:42,141 --> 00:00:45,420
good transfer window is going to be
dictated by what we do from now.
13
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:49,240
Because of those frustrations that you
discussed earlier in the summer,
14
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:52,525
in the end, maybe did
you get more players in
15
00:00:52,526 --> 00:00:55,781
terms of number than
you were expecting to get?
16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,960
I don't know if it's because of that or
not.
17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,755
I think at the end there
were a couple of situations
18
00:01:01,756 --> 00:01:04,560
in the market that we
thought were good for the club.
19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,640
And we were able to manage to bring some
players with experience in the division or
20
00:01:09,641 --> 00:01:14,160
even above, and some of the young,
talented players that we want to develop.
21
00:01:14,860 --> 00:01:19,320
So I will not put one thing as a
consequence of the other one.
22
00:01:19,660 --> 00:01:21,504
I think we knew that
we needed to make a
23
00:01:21,505 --> 00:01:25,101
movement in the market
and that's what we did.
24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,980
Do you feel now that the squad is capable
of getting itself, well clearly from where
25
00:01:29,981 --> 00:01:32,640
it is, into a position to challenge for
promotion?
26
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:35,060
Well, I think we need to go step by step.
27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,960
I think the squad is capable to go on
Friday and try to beat our opponent and
28
00:01:38,961 --> 00:01:41,236
then make a good performance and then win
taking from that.
29
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:44,140
I think we managed to
have a good group of players
30
00:01:44,141 --> 00:01:47,081
that we know our challenge
is to become a team.
31
00:01:47,820 --> 00:01:53,720
This may seem like a fairly obvious
question or an academic one, but Ogbenay
32
00:01:53,721 --> 00:01:58,600
are a very attack minded player,
but McGuinness, me and Matsos are very
33
00:01:58,601 --> 00:02:00,980
defensively minded players or defenders
themselves.
34
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:05,340
Why did you feel that that was the key
priority for the latter stages of the window?
35
00:02:06,020 --> 00:02:11,565
Well, we talk about
reinforcing the back four or the
36
00:02:11,566 --> 00:02:15,440
back five for the line that
we decided to put there.
37
00:02:15,580 --> 00:02:19,180
And then we make a completely new
restructuration in that line.
38
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:26,440
As I say, Ben is an experienced player in
the level that can add tons of that
39
00:02:26,441 --> 00:02:29,900
experience, but also how to solve
different situations in the game.
40
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:33,540
I think Mark McGuinness is a well-proved
centre-back for the category.
41
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,656
And I think Alex Matos, when we talk about
to reinforce the centre of the pitch,
42
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,040
is a different midfielder of what we
already have in the building.
43
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,910
One that can balance and
equilibrate the team from
44
00:02:45,911 --> 00:02:48,020
different positions in
that centre of the pitch.
45
00:02:48,021 --> 00:02:54,940
And I think we talk about being more
competitive and being better structured
46
00:02:54,941 --> 00:02:57,860
and with different personnel in the back
line, in the midfielder.
47
00:02:57,900 --> 00:02:59,840
And that's why we call those players.
48
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:04,760
Because of the recruitment, this is only
for fans wondering, whether over the
49
00:03:04,761 --> 00:03:08,940
course of the international break and
moving forward, whether you've thought
50
00:03:08,941 --> 00:03:13,400
about changing the formation or having a
first choice change to the formation?
51
00:03:14,220 --> 00:03:18,860
Well, obviously, the first thing that we
did after the last game finished was to
52
00:03:18,861 --> 00:03:23,300
analyse, deeply analyse our performances
in the first four games.
53
00:03:24,580 --> 00:03:27,425
In terms of the games and
what has been going in the
54
00:03:27,426 --> 00:03:30,240
direction that we want
and what has not, obviously.
55
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:33,040
But also in terms of statistics and clips.
56
00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:37,843
After that deep analyse,
we went to a conclusion
57
00:03:37,844 --> 00:03:40,960
that we need to adjust
and adapt what we do.
58
00:03:40,980 --> 00:03:43,440
Not only to the next opponent,
also for the future.
59
00:03:45,660 --> 00:03:48,289
If the transformation
is a change of formation
60
00:03:48,301 --> 00:03:50,540
or not, we will see
it on Friday night.
