Moving Forward
The player stated that the dressing room atmosphere remained positive. “He was his usual self, his demeanour was positive and it was business as usual,” Jones added.
The midfielder also noted that a player's desire to start is preferable. “I understand there are specific approaches you can handle situations,” he said. “However, if a player is content to just not start, then I think that’s a bigger problem.”
