three, of course disappointment, with the goal
disallowed of the first half. But Chris would got that
penalty in a second. How deserved you think the three
points were tonight. Yeah. I think we just about deserve it
was a tight game. Knew it was
going to be
really disappointed. See the first goal disallowed because
other was a really good team move and delighted for
Christopher to score in that moment. Obviously, it got taken
away from him, but he did really well with a penalty as
well. Under big pressure. I thought he kept his composure
and and that was a difference
and he came into this football club. You were 19.
Five Points from safety. There were many things that weren't
working. How did you come in and decide on what the things
that you're going to instill in training?
Well, I think we came in with a clear plan of what we needed to
do. We needed to first become hard to be. I think you've got
to get the basics, right? So we spent a lot of time working on
our shape and
drilling the players and certain aspects of play.
And I think you can see that today because wolves are really
difficult team to play against, they play with their system.
And you know, we didn't want to change ours so we had to find
a way to be solid in the
The pitch. I thought we did that the majority of the game and
you know, set plays and all the things that
are so important that sometimes neglected. We really focused on
you know, when any when you want to talk more about,
probably off the pitch, you inherited a team that was low
on confidence by nature of being down there. The bottom
when you came in,
did you feel like you have to do more than just train,
the team on the pitch was their stuff? You have to sort out off
as well.
Yeah, I think naturally we've got a way of working and we
wanted to try and build a culture that
Will
you know we won't deviate from that will be us and how we
work, and how we behave, and how we,
how we build relationships within the squad. So we've
spent a lot of time on that and
the players responded really well to it. So we've done a lot
of work on the psychology aspect, which we felt we needed
to do.
Yeah, we've only just started that process, really am looking
forward to it. You know, what the future can be good. Eddie,
where normally 3,000 miles across the other side of
the ocean on the east coast of the United States and we do try to
tell the premiere.
Fans in the United States a bit about this club and how special
it is. And we saw at the final whistle. Of course with, Hey,
Jude ringing out, and you guys doing a bit of a lap of honour.
They're just explain for our viewers in the US, just how
special
you Cassie. And I did, as our club is,
what it is, is incredible, because the whole city
is so passionate about their football club. It's right. The
stadium, he was right in the middle of the city. It is
the heartbeat of it
and Everywhere You Go, is is Newcastle. So,
you know, we have a serious responsibility here to try and
Build a winning team
and a team that represents the people here and that's
really hard working team a team that's dedicated to its
profession and the team that wants to win and
you know, not always going to achieve the results you want
but I think you can try and guarantee an attitude and
that's what we try to instill in the place. Well I ship with
players out every so important to players really intrigued me.
What you've got Joe Arlington,
you've turned from a sent forward to a
box-to-box midfielder player
and sent maximum just that your
T that he has, and what it's like to work with every day
and about those two,
yeah, I mean Joe Johnson,
as you say, we came in, we were slightly changed his position,
but from day one, I
felt an instant connection with them
really
great lad, you know, really wants to work and improve
very low maintenance in terms of away from the training
pitch, but somebody wants wants to do the work. So I really
really like and respect him and
I think he's going to credibly talented footballer
Maxie is.
Yeah. What. A talent. You could see today, some of the things
he does. You can't coach, you can't even begin to, you know,
how we contorts his body and the things that you can do with
the football
and I've enjoyed the
chance to build a relationship with Maxie. And I think he's
an incredible talent. And, you know, I want to try and take
his game even even further and even higher. And it's capable
of so much
broader humorous.
Brilliant Talent, big, big player, big money.
Can we expect more of those signs? Are you looking, is that
the type of sign you're looking to bring into Newcastle
Football Club? Yeah, I think you need a balance, you know,
Tim of lots of different types of player to build a successful
team. Now Bruner
has the technical ability that we want in a midfielder. He has
a great attitude, brilliant character, very determined to
achieve, and he's a really good age as well. So I think a grow
with us. So he ticked all the boxes and terms what we're
looking for
in that moment. But yeah, I mean, he would epitomize
the type of signing that we want to make.
