Q: What have you made of your team’s start to the season?
A: Fantastic season. Delighted to be heading back to the Championship.
Q: What are your opinions on your manager?
A: A bit one-dimensional at times. Has one game plan and he sticks to it. But I can’t complain about promotion. Needs to adapt to the Championship quickly next season though.
