Radio Stoke lots to talk about tonight starting at Stoke City Nathan Jones has been giving his press conference today and inevitably faced questions about whether he thought he would still be in the job ahead of the game against Fullam tomorrow he's not been surprised by the scrutiny on imply I fully expect to be into that because at the minute he should results this business if it involved in. A very strong position this football club manager John ascii says his team will go back to basics for this weekend's game with Steven it's the markets filled result disappointing for him but ascii says being at home will give them all a lift every home game know we are confident we've got as good a record as anybody at home so we've got to go on to Saturday's game thinking you know got a good chance but we've got to do what we've been doing and working really hard to get the crowd behind us and then hopefully get in the 3 points we'll hear from the Vale striker Jordan on top of League 2 crew were home to Swindon and manager David r. Tell says his team worried about being the target everyone is aiming at this grid is great for the fans group and good for the players who do that mean anything if you're not there after 4 or 6 games so you know we've long way to go and keep growing.

Radio show. Good evening 8 minutes past 6 here on b.b.c. Radio Stoke praise and grumble for a Friday night with me if. Through until 7 on the way in the next few minutes or so we're going to be talking to the Stoke City Manager Nathan Jones quite interesting his press conference today particularly his body language if you'd noticed in a few of the videos that you may have seen on social media or on the t.v. Over the last few weeks when he's kind of sat there and he's been he's been light arms folded never seen today much more confident and much more open and much calmer as well I think it was fair to say from speaking to him we're going to hear him from him about the scrutiny on his job as well that he's admitted openly faced over the last couple of weeks we'll hear from him in the next few minutes or so also going to be talking to the port Bell striker Jordan Archer about him coming back from his shoulder injury and also David r. Tell as well about all the Lancashire and what his team have to do to stay top of the league while we're on the subject to crew a do want to hear from some crew funds tonight because I've got a little bit of a chat with one or 2 crew fans on social media today who said Oh well then you never do any crew on praising Well I'll be honest with you not ringing so if you don't ring we can't get you on it's going to be more than those who said to me you only get 5 minutes anyway it will be 5 minutes if you're not ringing is so if you want to come on and talk about Crewe Alexander being top of the league you want to talk about the shares that will go and on so you want to talk about the supporters' meeting tonight then come on I am more than happy to talk to you but that goes for a supporter any club in our area as well we're going to talk to none to each town later on as well about that f.a. Cup weekend as I say we want to hear from Stoke fans Vale fans and crew funds tonight let's just talk about football that is what this program is about so let's see if from you know 801-2188 the number to call you can text is as well 81 trouble to start your message with the word stroke or you can get in touch with us on social media it's at b.b.c. . Radio Stoke We've also got a question for you tonight in the Friday mind boggler and this one I'm particularly fond of because as many people will know I am a quite frankly terrible goalkeeper so this one is about goalkeepers quite fittingly so tonight if you want to go this one which goalkeeper has the most assists in Premier League history that's which goalkeeper has the most assists in Premier League history our 801-2188 the number to call if you were want to have a go at that or as I said you want to get in touch with us as well via text which is 81 trouble 3 Start your message with the word Stoke 1st of all though let's hear from Stoke City's manager Nathan Jones who told b.b.c. Radio Stoke he feels he was under the spotlight over his future in the job during the last 2 weeks he wanted 1st league game of the season at Swansea a fortnight ago brick or stone played since then due to the international break but he's acutely aware that his role has been under focus from all sides of course and it would have probably been minimally and. At least under forecasts but expect that as of Monday did just as my previous club I knew that it was absolute and a North forecastle scrutiny whatsoever apart from something different moving on for the right reason or for the different reason. I fully expect to be into that because at the minute it's a results business if it results when involved in Trust me I've been a very strong position this football club. Results are very important and that's one thing that we haven't quite got yet we have got one now and people say don't use good as your last game so we're actually quite a good side at the moment so let's hope we can build up he spoke to the chairman and the owner of regarding the future Italy of course aspect to speak to them. All the time and there's an honesty that I have with both John and Peter that the true freshman but look at. Not fear about losing my job but more fear about what I fear is it's not sticking to my beliefs and not doing the job that I believe so hard for and I speak openly to them and if there ever comes a point where they feel that I'm not the right man then they will make. Their feelings known and respected decision totally what we are at the minute I really see massive shoots of what we've been trying to do you know it's not just the result last week but over the last month really train in the way we've had of it we've gone into games the way we've played in games. This is gives us a real good team in now and it's up to me and my staff to get out of That's Nathan Jones talking at his press conference out of the game against Poland earlier on today a brain is a stoke supporter been listening to not going to even bring me when I'm going on right not too bad you Yes Well thank you you have got good what have you made one thing Jones is just not decided on said he did he doesn't favor his job at this stage you know what. I don't think he I think it should say Freeze Diaz and I'll tell you why because I don't think anybody wants to say so in my honest opinion if I'm being brutally honest with you. I think I don't think for one minute the Stoke City board have just sat around the top $23.00 inches the way to see it's gone the way some folded and I think we've tried to obviously feel managers out or speak to managers and try to get replacements for Jones I genuinely believe and I mean 'd as the managers who briefed might have spoken to potential He spoke to don't want to come I don't think they want to come to Stoke City and I'll tell you why I think the way the obviously the lumber situation unfolded with Sanchez Flores the way that that happened and then Lambert got obviously she will again and then you know it is a lot of hard work and try to clear a lot of stuff that was going on and he then obviously. They didn't change services and for whatever reason and then obviously we made an appointment with didn't ek made and then that didn't go well and that didn't work out so then he left and then obviously we fought Jones in this new great motivational manager this obviously hasn't worked out clearly it's not worked out and I think a lot I think football and the way football works the way people know people and talk to people I genuinely think people just don't listen you know it's not worth going in that so we're stuck on a no go zone for money just then I believe. So at the moment yes I absolutely do believe so because I can counsel she was the fall in on actually say the eyes and the soap city and the old as if you're sat there and watched the scope I think they would have replaced it but nobody wants the job at this moment in time nothing Chris you said you didn't want to jump in and didn't come out and say that all really. Believe it was it was kind of to do with he was having linked with it but he refused to conduct comment on the speculation so I think there was the there was that as well the thing that kind of interests me about his position brain you know you are Eve just come through an international break and he's won his last game they obviously the board the directors they obviously seem to want to give him a chance to to build what he's been building and from what I'm told the performance Swanzy was much much better than it has been so they seem to have patience with him and it isn't kind of patience something that is sorely lacking in the game that if you gave Nathan Jones a bit more of a chance he could come good for you he saying that accurate from a supporters' perspective. He's very well Paul I mean I can't argue with what you say and I can only say that I think Stoke City is a replacement they've been regular somebody's been willing to call me I think that maybe change I think that the fact that nobody's committed so the job means that it looks like they've given him time Orbach you need because it's in his what I've got to say is that if you look at his you look at sales sorry you look at 1000 Jonesy press conferences pre one was a yes no there was no exuberance there was no real passion there was no real you know fighting spirit and getting beyond it was practically resigned with the natural just enough to do what is the old days and I remember that yeah yeah and I was and I meant well and I looked just as he is he was a little while when I was walking away from the job I. Certainly ask yourself that question. And then obviously we've got to stop Simon or Gates was a nice old systems go again question out of luck because it's the money attorneys at the club and I think it's Listen is it coming good we've been playing football we've got to tell you I don't think we can also by a means I think we have seen a look there and a lot of days of keeping that put you know so long and so much taken but I can say I'm very passionate and I wanted to change yes I would also from being on the sleep with the stats and the way that we've gone on these great speeches I would have liked to change is not how can we go 8 full size by the way still I think we'll get a result against them I don't I don't have a generally don't. Take him out because that's what I was I was going to ask you. Time school with this brain we've got to move on but very quickly in terms of school line what do you think tomorrow. I think so little circles over to you know to watch for more and I hate that I don't like saying I hope I'm wrong I'd love to be proved wrong but I think also as old as some are no doubt Ok Thanks very much for the call that brain. Is in Congress and he's a stock fan as well he's he's been listening to what brings got to say Bob. Do you feel kind of the same way that should should have gone while they had the chance in a bit depressed enough to listen to that. I think my opinion I think is very it should worry about a job if I was a virus and because Let's just fast answers the day he said that might be a few days even now he said now if he's going to case that team up to this one to be still it is because if you to change the team tomorrow and get beat than is a real one but i'm because you accept it when it's done to you a whole and mellow way of going which is never easy no well obviously. I just think I don't know and I still think he's going to claim back and outside of our and I don't know why he was kind of asked directly about in the press conference and he came out while he watched it for their benefit the people who haven't talked about James McClain I've been doing very well at fullback since he was converted but Bruno Martins indeed be more solid and then he talked to Stephen Ward as well as you know getting up to the level that required And really the problem. Is that you've got 3 people that he could play left only one of them you would consider to be an actual Let's back of all the players he's he's bought in Ohio he's only got really got warm that resonate not a concern. You had I'll submit to gallop back in. May and he didn't do it and he. Played And let's get it right Jane MacLean cannot play full back it can't be done in a way what's going on around him. Maybe on the way I mean I don't like it on the one guy that say but then he said then it's best Gonzales always said is. Always play with 2 up front he said Yeah Tom Edsall want to get others feel it and tell me it's one play not talk with the dragon so the field. I mean it's got it this is it says things that aren't true that's why I can see things we have got. To preach things a bit a bit differently from from a different people say what would you start with to more about it play to it from last week for the 1000000 for the 1st time you play and I accept the Darby a many play whole going to Gregory together. If you stick to that system without back 4 and maybe it is going to make a change it may be may be tempted Paul going in with Gregory Itzin or Campbell but I wouldn't change the midfield set up diamond if you want to call it a dime with no thought about. Joe on the tape Harvey and T.-Bone clickers right and left it so that couldn't. So it be iffy thinkers without Now it's like he's prone to though isn't it that's the thing is primed to want to show it will tend to without side to mother and they'll come up with some excuse to do no and I was troublesome so no tired sorry the a man is go with him and he'll play for Liverpool on Sunday so it doesn't wash with me about that was no chance I think he's got to stick to that system and that side Bob we've got to move on what do you reckon for tomorrow well if I think of you sex with a Sabers one just then we get a can go easily and phone to my well I think we can change who you know what I'm thinking Di human the geography changes outside tomorrow Ok Bob thanks for your call that's Bob Stokes fun in Congress I'm going to be hearing from the stone from the pork barrel strike a roll that Jordan Archer in just a sec plenty more to come on the way to we're going to be talking to Brian who's a viral fan as well and also recap the Friday mind boggling for you too next.

Be surprised when I tell you it's wrong Peter Schmeichel it's not. Kevin this is a great text Kevin is on holiday at the moment in in the lake in my own mall or than in brackets Burma as you probably know it but he still managed to text in tonight and have a go at the quiz but he's got it wrong Bruce Grobbelaar Kevin whatever you do in my in more of a novel they go because it's not Bruce Grobbelaar and this text doesn't have a name on if you're going to text is to put your name David Seaman that's wrong as well one person who has it right so far is John in Alva Stoke text as well.

Well see because my shoulder. To the ground when it 1st came in. Was good for me but the nose of the shoulder just sent me back so. I trained in and sit back and once a squad so. You come from how did you feel when you when you found out that was and you knew you going to be out for that it was there was a no because I thought I was going to be out for a lot longer than I was to especially the. Form I didn't want to do that and could rehab it is and that's what the. Stronger of every day so I'm just hoping it's the this isn't it's about making an impression isn't it and you. Barry as well so I can understand why you went keen to 34 into the city. For. The squad and help the team to progress but you've got to be patient though you've got players who are in the side at the minute it would been scoring goals like Richie Bennett and Tom you've got you've got to be a bit patient place in your position. Because I'm going to be is for me just to just walk into this. Club has been planned well what we learned from some of the other forward see if you added anything to your game. Games more behind plan the shoulder. Popey and Bennell bring present. The physical in there and. More That's Monica him so much in them and try and see what they do see what. From their game and that's my game and you don't help through those managers keen on bringing in food you've got you've got different qualities you've set the people in the crowd seeing the best of you yet and what you can do in the best. From there and what can do and and say Help see. The strike at talking to me a bit earlier today lightly he'll be in the squad tomorrow for the game against Stephen he can hear the life on b.b.c. Radio Woodley Blackman and Ray Williams kick off game 3 quite interesting what John asked to say as well about the way in which Stephen h. Have changed the way they play not the big physical team and also wasting a lot of time that you might remember from the games that you've seen of them in the past few years very different side now on the mark some sense. Not only from John ascii but also from Leon like in the build up to tomorrow's game to where he's talking about the need to keep clean sheets Let's talk vile fun now Brian's an old Lee Good evening Brian Rainey What do you want to say tonight well it's about life and the game oh yeah go on I gone through. The aspects of used to go when Bell Shankly risk the money to Liverpool. They are the by really by. And coming back from the much bigger coach he pulled in the pool a report he went the interview this is what he said the push pull the pulled until appalled and he said and he said he bought more drinks and there's only one couple and not Paul besides all the Webber pool players. That you will not name play another much why are we lived up to really really bad. And they didn't and they won the tile lot here and I take it that's what you want for the vile today but perhaps not with the stopping off at the pub and having a pint but. I struck the ground look at themselves in America and say we're not mean do that and that is it waste time trying to blame any one player they were. Really to blame and they've got to look at themselves and say we not been doing well I know from talking to John today. Kind of feels personally responsible for the for the defeat because he's quite open about the fact that you know he called take into account individual mistakes that players will make but he obviously takes responsibility for the way the team is a sexual ball I mean as you say this isn't a matter of the you know they went back to 51 with a but they did they did play poorly and when you've got a crowd like that behind you do you think that they thought they felt that responsibility to the supporters in the crowd Well they they don't feel very responsible for the hour they played. This angle and the players well they will know all this Bob is one and all that and they've got to come by the suite and not through today and I want to say Cheney I mean put the bodies on the line our goal the away matches I'm very much easier course. They got to put the bodies on the line I've seen them play really bad. A lot less week and if they win the game it's just a matter of no. Understand when is this loss we came from. It's got to be put under the table now and say we're not doing that again what do you think he should do with his team selection tomorrow Meenie explained the formation he played Michael Steele is wanting to get to strike as a front but the obviously the tried and tested that's done him so well this year it's for $33.00 would you want personally to seemed about to not. Yes I was wrong good attacking players I mean. The bench I have seen ought to play and that he is absolutely. Goes out to. I'm not saying the ball in the chat but he's got the sea to go out to him and the task and he's quick with it and I put him in as an impact so. Educated take propre off friend of his He's been a brilliant to Port Vale i.o.p. Still is a brilliant for Port Vale but if one on one of the forwards is timing down it's 15 you think of you've got to. Watch your on and take the other one off would you still go with 2 approach or would you go back to the full 33. Go with 433. And. Presumably put a new back in. I would. Just go with well if your best attacking side is what you reckon tomorrow we want and it's Ask what you reckon some more of Brian we've got we've got to move on but what do you think a lot of tomorrow's state needs very different than what they will Last year I don't give a shit. Gautam going to force you know that I was so no there was somebody in the background there was somebody in the background who said games as well ask them see what they think back to why. She would say what she reckons. You know when they might win. She lost me Mome she thought you know much about the Shanahan yeah while your own yeah family. The rocket you blow they are really you we coming back for match it was that week. They came in the come over to wrist they are approachable they go around. Saying all that they are absolutely the sort of the and I can't say I love the 3 as they are brilliant or are more Thank you Brian and I was a carol and Kevin listen to the show and you've heard from from Brian the pair of you and you know I think it's symptomatic of what you've tried to do let's talk a little bit more now about Stoke City under you to stoke fan he says he's on the line even Andrew Green you know if I'm not too bad not too bad what would you like to say tonight yeah I was just I just rung afterwards in the brain thinking I wasn't there was an agreement with a really come. Up in one of James's biggest backers really because I think he's just had a bit of bad luck you just need to change what you merely hopefully lost the swans again was the turning point. It was I mean to our west that's the enough trees Prescott it's not the if there's a man resigning. I think it's because he where he often is leaving me in the reaction of thinking you know I don't know all the talent it isn't going right but then other than I was most of the thought the board made on something once with so just need maybe just a change of fortune change the manager to get change unfortunately but I think they are I think they decided they were they were silent let's wait until Swanzy syrup and then we go to a break and we can leave that I don't think stroke of luck to run for a manager no I don't think so I think the we've known now they're loyal both I mean stuck with money manager for a long time they will say far too long in the past but then I listened to him before the last of all because once again when there were no crikey this can be a tough task comes and I was really impressed with I mean. He came across as a man who wasn't going to give up that after dragging on kicking and screaming and he really did and he inspired me not so not sure where Bremer say the sun it's down before Swansea totally opposite I think he was he was there cannot fight and of course once again when I think be then. From that place tech support I think because you saw that game when Swanzy to a much everybody on the pitch played poorly to the point where but do you run across the whole like the pitch to picking up in the air we've got the winner I mean I think our thoughts are questionable to still game with the players winning but once again that was definitely seems to me the players are where the man. Did the right most to get results for him and to the old stock of the bodies and sorts the ball when it get results for the sake of it that it's interesting you say that we don't and if you with Lee Gregory this week which he can hear on sports on Saturday tomorrow when my son goes in the build up to the to the show and one of the things that Lee Gregory said and it's an it's an interesting turn of phrase where he says you know now that the manager's Ga backing now that the money she's got backing and that to me and I'm not you know I'm just taking this at face value that to me says that the players are now thinking to ourselves right well now isn't Jones is as good as a when we we need to we need to get beyond him now they are I think I think some of the players are now more aware of the gravity of the situation than perhaps they had been and that I think came out in the Swans a game as well I think you've also been taking responsibility as well I think players very it's more easy what we because I was talking about you know they want is a great individual in the car it's a now. My just. Got they haven't got the respect in many years ago where you know they were playing for they were Cari you know they run through a bit more for and I don't think that really exists now in modern football now that they are lots of body and they've got their issues with a mind to go and hear that everywhere and taking about that situation I think what is going to do is I think the players seem so then take responsibility for that the reason why we have it's individual mistakes I've been watching state for years. Isn't years and I've just been such a fan of the Thomas on I've never seen a scenario like we have now because I think it's played some very good football think of the way for slogans for East some silly areas across the go across the goals we play well against are we played well against. And just haven't got results and individual areas of cost and. It's bizarre when is the think where we are traditionally if you thought there'd been boos and jeers around the grounds of the forest game that was not the massive. We were at the end of the game when we lost the game thinking Crikey what more can we do. Do you think countries but do you think that now is going to be a watershed because the danger is that it was a one off and if you lose against Fulham tomorrow then you back to square one on the end that there is the real danger here isn't it you're right another to come of it was it was what was are they self or something else that it is so simple as saying this may have been actually the worst result force because it means my delay the result of them being such Well it could also be as you said a warship where things start to change course why not look at the positive side I mean you're right if things go wrong tomorrow or the same things will come up again but. It wasn't just the result against once it was the performance and the performance of the old days where yes I mean some of the the luck where we just point to bodies and put the ball in the last tackling or the great thing this week we were playing very well and I think Swansea departure they had their 5 or 6 corners in the space of 5 minutes and they come on this is where we've got to show the result now and they did it thinking I was thinking about it and then to get results that they are even better and I want to watch tomorrow thank you thank you if he was me at all because the Kumble the last couple weeks I see him play you think elusive other players are playing. But are now the to know him Ania However I think Hogan would be good with a quotable Greggory That's the change I'd make the only change it is made is made to change the past because yes you need yes yes we want to result. Is this is a really crucial week and I think James went there. With Sheffield Wednesday and then Millwall to come in the next 7 days going to kind of define it for him. And just we could do with if we get 4 points in the next 2 games we were on the right side I think I'm just saying this cross there we go Ok Andrew thanks very much for your call that Sandra Stokes with a start and praising grumbled back 20 minutes. So the show left some crew families have wronged you will be on the show before 7 o'clock I am very very pleased but before we get to you let's talk to Erica about the travels. D.c.u.

This text from Chris Malkin says Pat to check that wrong and also somebody text then I can put the name on it and it's put Patrick check. Your thoughts is what I think may well be so yeah keep your answers coming in for that if you want to talk to us tonight our 801 c 188 now craze manager David r. Tell says they're being patient with defender only Lancashire as he recovers from an Achilles injury missed Saturday's 42 win over Carlisle And he's also me also likely to miss out tomorrow against his former club Swindon and our Tel told b.b.c. Radio Lancaster needs to be carefully managed is a bit of a crystal ball time with him in terms of pushing now so he's fairly close these 2 games out for 6 weeks or do we. Give him 6 weeks off now or 3 weeks off you know that kind of thing is trying to muscle Arjun through an injury so. It was a miss a large part of the season in 4 to 6 weeks and then the same time I meet him so it's because of come we get him through that kind of thing so you understand as we've got a chart going to an individual program for the next 3 weeks and we'll try and. Last week and next 2 weeks in which we're going to try and see where is and then if it does need a lie off for 3 or 4 weeks then so be it but we're trying this way forward 1st. Though the traffic your way day for years to top of the table the place that you want to be. Well said last week one of all that said we've got to come with replies about often and bad performances always bad performances and sad it was not if. We had a real Whose have real port 20 minutes but we had just a 20 minute spell where we stop doing what I'm really successful so the previous. Be free this half and then suddenly become good again. And in the end won the game completely which is what we deserved to do but you know we can have them self-inflicted purchasing games and beer is you know is easy is that easy to play against when we're doing all right so there is always room for improvement so it was no different. You know we'll go into this trying on them oh David I'll tell talking to Graeme McGarry the risk full coverage of crease game again Swindon Town tomorrow afternoon here on b.b.c. Radio Stoke build up starting with Sound Off from 2 o'clock Graeme Morris going to be your team in South Cheshire for that one pizza place from which he has a crew fun evening pizza evening what would you like to say tonight well from space we're doing so well and also the back room situation has come good this week Dario's retirement baby that awaits him forward so lot of things happening to occur the moment the most important thing is a mystery around the club the families trusting that I was able to go to Carlisle But listen to Graham's brilliant commentary last week and heard all the singing in the background at that stage I was unaware of the towns that have been behind the park. Like they did sound like the old Lee Malvo. I think it's a great for things to come together and for us to have the opportunity because things go up and things go down and it's only up across the road and how much do you think that the off the field. Sheriff is going to make to the success on the field when the you've talked about the feel good vibe that both will that filter through to the players and the atmosphere filtered through to them would you hope. Certainly having listened to what some of the poll with Shanahan's that's great. Supporters that actually are owning the club but where obviously spreading it a little bit more friendly I'm not able to go to the meetings and I have a couple of nights they're all faded back to make tomorrow the March and I think that if more fans are going to become involved with owning the club it's got to be a good thing because we've seen the situation at Oldham where the purchaser has got control and things have gone wrong the managers haven't stayed we've got everything lined up at the moment where we've got directors behind the club we've got supporters that come by and so it we've got a manager who is maturing into his job daily and it's got to be a good thing just talk to me a bit about David our tells influencing all this because he's been building this team now for about 4 or 5 years as me and now he's bearing the fruits of as patients but also the patients from the border point when things were going well could have decided well we'll go for an easy fix. And both the color been rewarded for it's patients in in developing both him and the players. Definitely we all remember with Alex Ferguson in his 1st year at the club things don't go too well but the main crew don't have a knee jerk reaction to get rid of the manager when things aren't going so well David or tell us mature into his position because obviously as you say these difficult times on and off the failed the players of mature old with him and he's brought this amazing blend of experience that we needed to add the stale to the skill and I think that at the moment he's got the confidence of his players and the psychological approach that he actually uses both in its interviews with Graham and with the players and also when we go on to the open evenings club the humor is. Based on in select sound knowledge. Appointing x. Players doesn't always work out think most clubs would tell you that but he's obviously got a bit of affinity for Curry when it's just think help that he's obviously cares about the club having played for them. Definitely he was a great leader he was a strong center halls he's got a good history so that obviously he's able to pass that on to the players he's at an age group that actually still links with more mature players but also with the younger players there's. A generation that for him and all those things I say you know being very important in his maturity and where we are at the moment do you think he can carry it on against against Swindon sponsor to Fox They've got some decent players on Sonny Grant's playing for him as well but you know there's a bit of a litmus test for crew now they've gone top they need to study that down the well they do but I just like to say that Anthony Grant said to check your career since he left the club and there was influences in the dressing room that were too good at the time were not worried about Anthony Grant coming back Swinton play football play good football I've enjoyed their visits in the past so we're looking forward to seeing no difference. To my season ticket tomorrow I've got my make coming over from we're going to have a male and a full and I've got a lot of supporters feel like maybe they can't wait to get the roads and more brilliant Peter thank you very much for your call it's been great to talk to you that's Peter a crew fine hopefully squeeze know the fans and before the end of the show as well I want to be a bit more about the supporters meeting tonight if you go into the arts which And I was starting same then tell me what the plan is for that's not what you want to get out of that back to the phones now and bone is the editor of the doc funds in stock fund Good evening out how you look good you are not too bad tell thank you very much take even a little bit of well maybe not all of what Nathan Jones just had to say today where he felt that the new jobs not been known to threaten the economy feels now that now is the time to kick on from from your perspective in the people you speak to is that you will of the same hymn sheet now will they still got a bit of convincing today. Results show these are very convincing though to be honest and open up in the back so what a sad journey from ignorance reveries jobs under threat we're not in the know and never really want to be in the know but it is jobs not only on the threat of own just under consideration even despite Swanzy then obviously the you know I'm worried. Because of because of results you know Sean just fantastic you know I don't know if anybody was absolutely overjoyed don't know anybody who doesn't want us to to actually hammer for them tomorrow and go on a roll on books you know the proof of the putting the results and you know you can talk about statistics and one more time ever in weather where we should be in the league at the end of the year it seems you go on looking in the teams you go down on to look you know the best in the worst team so we've got to start you know shall we what we're about we're you know we're still a little bit adrift at the bottom so tomorrow or tomorrow Well the next week is massive He talked in his press conference today and also in the interviews that he did off to the side with the radio media and the Sentinel and he talked about his philosophy and that he even going to change that he's not going to change to a much change the line of but he won't change the way you approach each game and and playing football and that kind of swans they did do you think he each got the players though for when they do need to dig in and when games can become a scrap as he got in there as well as the the footballing ability. We have been telling for the last few years that's we still I don't know what his philosophy is that's the problem and I think that's the worry it's not the 1st time it's been any in there and you know when you know what you know we thank you very proud of you know it changes on a weekly basis. You know I always think when you're near the bottom you need to do what it. Takes to reform as an attorney. And go and go. If you gave a very interesting because they seem selections Well it's not the big the next big kind of talking point is that having played that well Swanzy and Scott Hogan coming in as well and and bring them all to. You know Augie play more solid last got some selection headache now and he talked a lot about the left back issue and he's sticking by James MacLean at least when he's talking in the press but having seen the way that the team lined up and how they were a bit more defensively sound Eve got you've got to think the bring them all things and he's going to start having you really yeah he sees the best like back in the club and he's not the last back there kind of says it all about recruitment to be honest. Yeah. Some of the title so I'm very very solid at the very few opportunities. Not wanting to not James became smaller but he just was. My will reach some our way and I think the best sign in the summer in our league not cars from drawings of solemn Yeah nothing in Webbers off against him Tamara. You know they need to play well if we don't play him while some of the loose because he's a quality player we should really never be playing in the jump and just how do you how do you view the next week until you know the they're all some very difficult games and then they've got you know Sheffield Wednesday on full into March and the ones that used to Millwall next Saturday and then West Brom So there is a kind of Michael bright feeling about laces and yes definitely I mean I went to this table tonight for the 1st time in 2 weeks and you know I mean tomorrow is a tough day for the well it's been our top 3 was also early playoffs last year when I was about you know you look at the table the 14 points in front of us that I've spoke to so we're going to go there and. You know just simply not rock or look at it we don't we simply can't that kind of we won't. Points in fundamental hoola nothing that comes in Millwall of the School of the lives. Would be really down the bottom it's been there on 10 huge occasion that's laid back attitude we have got it capable of going on the kind of game we didn't survive. That was a few jewels and that. Those are the relative heights of 17 things kind of angle. Tomorrow's massive I think the point would you know about the result tomorrow. And benefit you got to win one of the away games West Brom at home at West Brom or a cool or do you look at him you think well they ran a bigger mess than organ the Premier League when we came down and thank you if you go through money your new school one can complete together we can't you know it's a very. Tricky spot on thanks very much for you call tonight not bone who gets the fun scene will be on sale going tomorrow against Fullam Let's squeeze in pull who is a crew fun evening pull how you could even when you're not too bad not to about what you want to say tonight I just want to say from the very top of the bar on include all sports is that everybody's on board to create this season we're definitely going places if you isolate this year's results allowed I think we're not a massive win in session going forward if if things improve there's no reason why we can't go at all or Portsmouth sickly in my opinion the season is that the keep going back to the sheriff saying now it's not just the latest step the crew are a real big starting point toward changing the club towards where you want to be or is it just the latest in the in the line of changes that might. I think is probably focus and more towards a family club because then today one child can only have and I have the entire club that means it's going to be a shadow around the single person can become the dominant holder to me that's a good idea because it means that you know if there's any borrowings from from the club or anything like that are all that money go it. Gets pumped into the club that sponsor clubs from different sources and I think that's always a good thing it makes it makes the club less liable in the day is any problems in the future so I think it's a very. Yeah the way the crew are approaching games this season they're obviously very hardy confident has that helped the younger team because in essence there isn't any fear in the side at the moment is that they shouldn't fear anybody in the league when the top absolutely younger players I think are doing remarkably well but that let's not forget that we've got veterans and it's like Nicky Hahn Polgreen . Portrait front dart obviously you know lending that experience to the job and I think it's rubbing off on these players and they're improving all the time so I think we've got the pounds right between experience and young players come in and you can obviously improve and take us on the next level which hopefully will believe well next season and just finally then if you can squeeze it in in 30 seconds how do you reckon you'll get on tomorrow I think to rob. You have got a bit longer than you've got another 20 if you want to if you want to expand. I think still defensively naive times so we do 'd unfortunately because I have been letting go of the stance against hope that will happen tomorrow and I think we will score goals tomorrow. Swindon are about to. Score even actually time's up bang gone brilliant Alan Partridge you know I'm sitting here watching the clock and I have to laugh up to the news poll thank you very much for you call tonight just time to wrap up the Friday night quiz the mind boggling which was which Premier League goalkeeper has the most assists loads and loads or wrong answers but only to write John an obvious token chocolate cake candy plus a few of you as well in the text you just recently got in touch correctly identified Paul Robinson who got 5 assists during his Premier League career thank you very much for being with me tonight my last praising grumble so I'll be with you all hopefully at some point in the future but I've really enjoyed having you with me for the road for the last few months as well as back in sport on Saturday tomorrow and the news of Vicky is next. To. Each. Piece of Radio Stoke. And with the 7 o'clock news is taking on Barry still misses made a new appeal to one piece to support his bricks that deal in tomorrow's Commons vote it looks like he'll need the support of several labor and he thought the withdrawal agreement to be passed here is the prime minister what matters is M.P.'s coming together across the House tomorrow to get this thing done and I just kind of invite everybody to imagine what it could be like tomorrow evening if we have. And we have respected the will of the people because we will have a chance to. Stuff it is police and fire commissioners denying community groups have been asked to leave all community fire stations and stuff it's up to councillors in the mall and discuss claims about the potential removal of groups from leaks fire station Alice says the only exception is in Handley only one thing happening with one of the community fire stations which is handily and that is made quite clear that we are going to remove the community's possibilities from that one because 'd there's a good opportunity to co-locate policing in with the fire service because it's an enormous station. Series Council is going to write to the government urging it to strengthen the law around spring.
