Long B.B.C. Radio Sheffield. Yes good afternoon and welcome to the riverside a sunny Riverside a little chilly but not too cold whatsoever we were at 12 John New some with us this afternoon as he's not too well today so get well soon John will bring the full much life from the Riverside of Middlesbrough against Sheffield Wednesday in very shortly just out of interest coast to changes to date for chef you was a whole chinks in abundance in for on him and tell you pesky that means Westwood and Will Johnson start together in the 1st team the 1st time they see. Eason but when was the last time that they both started together will tell you a half possible let's go 2 weeks isn't football have a we'll put it on social media as well the last time that someone cheats and Keira Westwood started in the Shane same Sheffield Wednesday side all sorts at the other side of Sheffield though City May 6th off the 23 game Sheffield United a half way to achieving a play off place but Chris Well The knows will need to take to take the next step for a shot at the Premier League not shortly but 1st ahead of today's home much against Abi county how proud is the blades boss about how far he's taken the same over the last couple of years and he surely proper out of love working for the football club I want to thank you for that said all along and vision is to use to work in the Premier League personally and with Sheffield United so I. So I will keep going and keep and keep working and keep improving. But as I said it's not he's each win games it's not easy to engage consistently it's not easy to be at the top of the division. But we've we've obviously changed changed a lot of things are the last 2 and off he is and I'm OK looking to drive it forward as I said you know it sometimes disappoints me and for strikes me that maybe people look look at look. Look at it and different Why. Maybe look what we've last few people down I don't see that way it's all I think we've given a lot of people some some some decent memories and decent moments and we're looking to get to do that you know the players of of come a very very long way in a short period of time and and we'll keep trying to keep trying to go forward in and drive it forward does this how similar a record you've got to Dalby into the league next week for the title show how far away that Geoff Wood Johnson of call the you all are in and around the things only 4 points behind West Brom. Yeah and that of a few other clubs and beyond a couple of other clubs as well so after 23 games you know that Darby trying to find a lot of change obviously through the summer with the manager coming in and the players coming in and I think I've done extremely well as well. That they've obviously been in and around this division for a long time and and been in the Premier League and you know been in player finals and class semifinals you know it's a really powerful football club but they'll be saying the same things you know just because of the name and and what you've got doesn't guarantee results and they've got to officially not for their results. The game down there was it was it was a great game of football we're disappointed that we we didn't get results. But as I keep saying it is just a really competitive lakes you know Darby County and I'm sure will will be in and around the end of the season but think they'll be saying exactly the same things as what's worse I think you got some unfinished business from that game a proper park and how it panned out in the end it was it was it was a little bit frustrating because we we obviously got off to a terrible start. No surprise that sells off the canvas and car self back into the guy for we dominate the 1st half and I've got to say they they they they dominate the 2nd half and maybe when you look bike. That's one of the things that we definitely need to improve in the 2nd part of season is when we're on top and teams to bad and when teams have that little bit of pressure on us that we stand for and get something from the game because you know obviously it was a way for Darby County. Fail on the balance apply possibly a draw mob in a fair result but you know you have to credit them for. A win in a tight game and maybe that's what we need we need to do a little bit more than we have to be specially recently come a little bit extra come from within the group you've got or is not going to be dependent on what happens in January while keep pushing the growth keep pushing the group keep giving them opportunities and keep driving them forward and said you know they've got enough int to be ashamed off there you know that that is. Disappointed in the recent results as is possibly anybody else's because they care and. They want to do well for themselves as well as just a football club saw you know that they'll keep the keep working odd and they're really good group to work with but there's no doubt if we do do money to watch I don't little bit of color into the group we will be stronger in its 2nd part the season in these There's no reason why we can't replicate our performances and better all results in the 2nd part the season and as you said cystic like you know that if we don't then we will go close to again in the playoffs which or even bad you don't know what's around the corner you know you can look at look at it from all different angles you know from below where teams are you look at those. From last year and where following where and where Millwall to where they ended up and swear at the clubs and it up and I think can happen in this division I think that's why I said about it being so to call any of the games and you have to do a lot of things right so in games of football is division. The top of the Championship table at the end of. A possible 24. Performances not least in the want to draw. Goals are considered. Really disappointing goals and we're having to work or play really good stuff to get goals and. Keep going. To the halfway stage of them all needful tally 2 points. Lower than we want her to 4 points after you know before Christmas. Which set in that we need to just keep going and make sure we don't do what we did last season drop off and of course off in a good position to. Keep going in 2nd offices or not trusting her about this group that tells you that. I think. Once we. Wish. We could. Make sure we stay as long as we can and our aim to to be in the mix and. Chris was. Along. Really well today without getting a free points. We'll look back and say again which. We haven't got 3 points. Position. At this stage to be where you are right now given the complexity of the Championship and just how many big teams are in it. Big teams and people probably. A little bit disrespectful to the boys and the dresser and I think we're more than capable of. You know being where we are now. We can. Achieve. Additions ingenue could be the. Pleasure we bring in John you have to because you are going to apply because. There were the ones who made a little bit of a difference to make sure we got to pass next up then a game where I get away from him I didn't get what you wanted from it's how he turned things around on Boxing Day and over again what we're after you know. Which our place to stand and make sure we can do and make sure we get the result it's time to slice out games on you know where we've got a chance to beat teams around us we haven't quite done it so it's about time we we've put one of them performances in and get 3 points to Michael on the festive period but I guess it is just something that she's decided she's a little bit different little bit easier. This. Is just. Festive Ganesh I can. That we're all going to be in West Covina. Allowed to live a little bit on Aman and it's time to go to work again against boxing or do you feel a Boxing Day game a little back. Well I plan. On going away. So much that it could be more. Of working at 3 points and enjoy Christmas. For the last time poems leave it he said where they produce the best performance of the season in a full deal with now the Reds a posh city and 6 on 5th respectively with both keen not to lose any more ground on the automatic promotion places his Reds manager Daniel started on his own game and . Is a good team to act directly Congo and from us and we want to and I imagine pizza brew will remember what happened when you played the milli this year for nil when they're placed How much do you have to be wary of and and beyond you know be being good Goodfellow. I think this is a new game start known and. Fall for both teams. I think what the game and. Review showed last week and also district did really. We have. Again every week better performance and I hope we can. Change. Them present to of all support us and. That we've been discussing. Please how you do on last couple of weeks because this is a tough road against 5 teams. To get a points against Portsmouth one against the 3 against Blackpool. Give you lots of confidence going into the pizza beginning. This is as you also when we not win the games. Especially. Him but the other games to be played also good but in the end. We need points we want to. Keep our goal and this is. We want in the top 6 in this leak and yeah and we have to chance of a home game against the home game against child and and Newton and years and new year I think we have all in all a hand and we're going to play a. Very similar to the last games to be we can win this games bit different back in Germany isn't it you know we get a break back home whereas here this is just football football football it's very different today. Germany newspaper German newspaper and a lot of good that we have who asked us so tired of the player and. Say OK yeah yeah ma ma games and I'm happy. That I am joint and you know. It's new but for me it is it's good you're looking for is a. Really really looking for did the situation to be. Celebrated Christmas Day And and then we play on the Boxing Day and we play days later. It's. Been my team can play just as good and just ask about the out of contract this week we are pleased to sign him for a couple more years. Yeah this is I think this is a good decision for. The club. Telling player of the. He can. Develop in a next months and to start. He played to the 1st time in 1st team and scored and then it's normal to have a. Lot of empty. Struggles but in the last week she come we every training was better and he's. More new to it too to fester them. Daniel stunnel plays out the Riverside Stadium nicely filling up of course as you would expect for a Boxing Day fixture old the team used to recap coming shortly 1st of all the Reds to find a lead of Lindsey was restored to the sorts of policies one no one at Blackpool and the games against top sides continue conflict and foster Lindsey agrees matches against the likes of pizza are a good test of where they always a team yes it. Could be good for a moment. But yeah everyone seems to find the plane so I. Know of a tough few couple a few games and. Test ourselves in what we go how important was it to get back to winning ways a Blackpool yeah course most of conditions when. We've got the free points and it's job done really. Yeah I think I'm going to say that the clean sheets are always important for you guys in particular on a day when pitch was called so you know there are lots of balls into the box even defended well as a team Yeah yeah but for brilliant of all of it to everyone was a bit different from the front office and the size and have done. You know just kept going on but going back to our guys but with him in the wood and so. You know get to it and she must've been good feels good to get back into the. Players want to play every week the squad is really healthy at the moment as there were lots of options oh yeah everyone can step and push anyone so. Good photos competition for places Snoopy top your game in there and you have to go back and. Get a clean sheet how much are you guys in enjoying things on the Daniel this season it's been a bit of a different style lots of press in lots of work right but it seems like the team really is moving in the right direction yeah. Different different to most More any of us have really played passion from even from the front. And yet been different but I think of a dot. Each every day. And what I just. Like you can see in results that we didn't just maybe vary but more concise about it that's just fine to feed and them. The season for us to feel like that consistency is coming the more the more and more you get so now that the style the
