The Dragons have had a very difficult season so far. Today they travelled to Nottingham to face Phoenix. We started slow and played with low confidence throughout the first half, we were second to the ball, gave too much space and made errors and we came in at half time 2-1 down after only having the one chance, one shot on goal. Half time team talk was tough, confidence was low. I told them they were giving them too much respect and they have got to pick their confidence up,

A beautiful morning away at Ruddington with the sun shining, great to be back out on the pitch. We started strongly, going 1–0 up inside the first 10 minutes and playing some really good football, especially with the long ball over the top. Ruddington responded to make it 2–1, but Bosworth showed great character to pull it back to 2–2. A tough refereeing decision just before half-time saw us go in 3–2 down, but the lads kept battling. In the second half, playing downhill, we

They really were superb and by far the best they have been all season. The work rate from all of them was fantastic and I really couldn't have asked for more. Finished 4 - 1 but at th

I was really happy with the lads today. This game wasn’t about the scoreline or the result — it was a friendly designed to give me the chance to try different things and assess commitment, performance, and attitude across the team. Individually, every single player was brilliant. Each one gave exactly what I asked of them, and their effort and focus were outstanding. As a team, it didn’t quite click at times, but that’s completely fine — I experimented with new formations and
