“The manager has been great with me, while Gerry Francis and Ben Garner have also helped. I can’t speak highly enough of the coaching staff. They have just spent a little bit of time with me talking about my game and what I need to be working on. They’ve put on some extra sessions too. Just all-round helping me. It’s both physical and mental. We work a lot on our finishing, shooting, and crossing, so it all helps.”
And Phillips will be looking to continue his impressive run of form, and help his side consolidate their position in the top half of the table during the second half of the season.
