Sesko’s record in the first half of the season is completely different to his record in the last few weeks, how much of his revival is down to giving him a bit of self-belief and how much is you playing to his strengths and creating chances where his attributes can be useful?
“Building that relationship and that trust is important when you’re trying to help players and the team. That’s on Ben, he’s put the work in, he’s stayed positive, he knows how he wants to improve, he’s pretty clear on that, but he’s a good player, that’s why he’s here. He’s got some great strengths. He’s such a real threat. I’m really excited about where he can get to, without getting too carried away. He’s got huge potential, he's so young, it’s still early days but he’s doing fantastic at the moment.”
What did you make of Matheus Cunha’s performance today?
“I think it’s about getting the balance about when to play inside and when to play outside, when to make runs in behind. Matheus thinks a lot about the game, he’s really good in terms of wanting to know certain things. He’s conscious of where the space is and knows when to attack certain spaces. Sometimes it's wide. I thought particularly second half at times, he looked dangerous going 1v1. And then he’s inside the pitch a bit more to create the moment for the penalty."
This club is synonymous with great goals. Does it matter to you that some of the goals you are scoring are so good?
“It’s nice to score good goals. We all come to games to see goals at the end of the day, to see that excitement and see that level of entertainment from top players. We all know what the boys are capable of, it’s definitely not getting carried away. I don’t think we’ve got all the answers yet but we certainly know that the boys have got big moments in them in different ways. Whether that’s through balls, whether that's a little bit of combination play, whether that's 1v1, whether that’s headers. We do feel we have got a good balance to that. It’s really positive to see. There’s going to be games when it might not quite happen. It doesn’t mean it’s a disaster. The two away games it was a little bit harder to come by but that’s football. To put the run together that we’ve had, we’ve had to do it in different ways. That’s more encouragement for me, that we’ve had to do it in different ways. It’s something to look forward to and build on.”
