" We demonstrated that a lot last season."The togetherness within it, especially when you're looking at the two ties we've just played there. We started the same side in both games. You've naturally got players that are disappointed they're not playing."A lot of players who were all massive contributors last season, the ones that were here last season, will all be disappointed if they weren't playing in this game. How do you deal with that? They deal with it by coming on and trying to affect the game in a positive way."We were so good at that last season. That collectiveness and the togetherness came from subs impacting games. I say it every week, the team that starts will never finish."Everybody needs to be ready to play. Everybody is good enough to play, which is why they're in the squad. That's why we've developed such a squad that is capable of fighting on two fronts, hopefully."
