Well, [Applause] Kevin, first of all, welcome to Rodale. Just tell us a bit about the last 24, 48 hours. Thank you. Um, it was a weird one. first game you just come in and you’re flying a day before a game and it just doesn’t really take take it out of you but it’s like stoping waiting for a flight and then coming in just a long long journey in it. So, but the boys the boys done well today and yeah we move on to next week. How did it all come about in that time period? Did you have much chance to sort of speak to the gaffer and a few of the lads before you came in? Yeah, I spoke to um the Gaffa this week um just talking about how he sees me in the team, how he wants to play and stuff like that and how I fit and um I know a few of the boys as well. So experienced them before I came. Does that make it a bit easier knowing a few of the lads? Yeah, knowing a handful of the boys, helps you challenge the squad a little bit more. So yeah, it’s good. What was the feeling like coming off the bench as well? Getting sort of thrown straight into it. one was tough to come on to and but just about like keeping our shape and coming in. Obviously, I came on the wing back just keeping my shape helping the the back three and um obviously the back line to just keep our shape and uh just not to concede till the final whistle. So, yeah, it’s a tough situation as well cuz they just throwing everything at it, weren’t they with the win, wins, corners, and they’re big side as well. So, they don’t know to compete and clean sheet. So, yeah, three points as well. So, not too bad. you got you here till uh January um at the earliest just how much you looking forward to that now? Yeah, I’m looking forward to great team obviously win with a game in hand top of the table play some good football as well and then yeah just coming to take my opportunity at any cost and then just try and get to the side. Yeah. [Applause]
