Seems insane now, can't believe we've sunk so low after 30 odd games........
What will be your brand of football?
Woodgate: Firstly, I want to pass the ball.
Pass the ball, keep the ball, I want players to run with the ball, it's important that when you lose the ball you win it back as quickly as possible.
Obviously don't go gung-ho, there are times to press and to know when to press.
That's my philosophy, that's what I want to do. I want to win games scoring goals. If you look at this league now, you go up by scoring goals.
If you don't, you won't go up.
If you look at my backroom team: Leo, Danny and Robbie, we'll have that in abundance, especially with Robbie by my side.
Q: Speaking to fans this morning, the one concern is the perception of that lack of experience. Do you understand that, and what would you say to allay their fears?
SG: Well, there’s a lot of people with experience, you’ve got to have the ability to use it. A lot of people can have experience, and not have the ability to use it. What I’ve got from this bunch is enthusiasm and unbelievable experience. Look at his experience, and his, and his. Football is quite a basic game, but it becomes complex because we make it complex. I’m just very happy to have these four here, supplemented by Neil and Adrian. It feels right. I’ve got a hunch about this, I hope.
Q: Will being here already help with the transition?
JW: “I know every single player from U-12s to first team, I know the club inside out.
“I know what needs to change, I know what needs to keep going in the right direction.”
