Yeovil Town defender/midfielder (or quite frankly whatever/wherever you need him to be), Finn Cousin-Dawson says that the key to maintaining the recent success is to take things one step at a time.
Speaking to BBC Radio Somerset’s Jack Killah he said the team is feeling good following a busy spell;
“Obviously it’s really tough week or so with three games in I don’t know how many days, but yeah, recovered well. So, yeah, feeling good.”
“I think [the manager change] brought us really together as a group and I think you can see that in the results and the way we’re playing. You know, we’re fighting for each other, we’re running for each other and yeah, morale’s been good.
I just think work rate. I think if you go in every game working as hard as you can, working hard in the team, then you give yourself a good chance to win a game, and with the quality we’ve got in the the forwards of the team, then we’re always going to score goals.
[It has] just given the front lads a bit of freedom. I think, not that there wasn’t before. I think we’ve kind of I think we’ve just maybe clicked a bit more.”
With Boreham Wood visiting on Saturday, FC-D said that it’s important that Huish Park is loud to make it a tough place for any side to visit.
“They’ve obviously come up and uh done well this year, but it’s like every other team in this league. There’s no easy game. Nobody’s going to let you have three points. So it’s just like every other game going with a mindset of we’re going to win the game.
I think when the when the crowd come and they’re loud, then it’s a really hard place to come for away team.
Yeah, definitely. But for me, it’s just we just got to look at Saturday, you know, look at the next game, try to win that. If not, you go again the week after. But you just got to take it game by game.”
On his own role in the side, he said that adapting to midfield responsibilities hasn’t been easy, but that so long as he’s in the side, he’ll give everything for the cause.
“I just enjoy playing, probably more comfortable as a centre half, you know, I’m still learning obviously, I’m learning on a job in midfield, but wherever I’m asked to play, I’m going to give 100%. So, it doesn’t change that.
[I’ve played in midfield] maybe a couple times, maybe two, three times. Yeah, that’s it. Obviously started last season um just kind of in there to break a lot of play up and try to keep it simple.
Obviously this year being a bit in and out, probably found it a bit harder at the start, but no, I enjoy both.
I’d probably say we’re all quite different in a way. Obviously Macca, Brett, Coops, whoever’s been in there, all really good players, so yeah, it’s good. It’s good healthy competition. So I think whoever’s in there have done a good job this season and we’re all working hard for each other. “
