Full of praise for Wilder and said it was like he just flipped a switch when he came into the place. Everyone was buzzing.
Talked about youngsters and said he was very surprised when DCL got his move to Everton. He reckons Brooksy will be a top, top player and the stuff he does in training is frightening.
Mentioned some players that he's surprised don't start more often, such as Carruthers. Samir is one of the more technical players and has bags of ability but, for some reason, Duffy just works better with him and Flecky. He reckons it's experience and Duffy's off the ball work that is the difference, but thinks Samir will deffo come good at some point.
I didn't manage to grab Billy for a word but Couttsy is a top lad and a nice bloke. I'm a fan.
