Summary of Rusks’ presser

Simon Rusk prezzer……
Different for him now, than the two game period he had before.
Knows he has longer this time.
Wants to re establish identity and style, but mostly confidence.
Still looking to get results.
Wants to make the team difficult to beat.
Feels lucky to have Adam L to help given his experience.
Feels Villa will be organised and athletic.
Injuries - apart from Taylor it’s fairly good.
No players looking to step-out of the team for the rest of the season following relegation.
Dibling still young, has had an awesome season, wants him to train hard, play hard “enjoy footie”.
There may be some lineup changes if players can earn the shirt.
Expects to keep high levels of professionalism.
Wants to start building momentum for next season.
Wants to have moments of enjoyment for fans over the next seven games.
Values Adam L’s knowledge and experience.
Rusk generally came across well given the situation.

All other premier league fans will have Aston Villa in there Accas and I will have a single on a Saints win. The bookies will make lots of money but not from me.

Oh hold on I just checked with ladbrokes and it’s 5 gajillion to 1 that Stewart makes it to full time.
