00:00You know, you've got to have that big slice of luck as well, just hoping that he goes

00:03your way and you can get your hand on it. I think the one at Bristol Sea I went the

00:07right way, couldn't save it, which I was a bit disappointed about. So, this time to

00:12go the right way, get your hand on it, keep it out. Yeah, obviously once you get it done

00:17it feels great, but as soon as you see the ref blow to give it, it's a horrendous feeling.

00:23When you spoke to us for the first time, if we'd have said many weeks later you still

00:28wouldn't have conceded a goal at Bramall Lane in your Sheffield United career, what would

00:32you have thought? It's just, yeah, mental. The way everything's gone. But like I said

00:39out there, there's a lot more that goes into a clean sheet apart from the goalie and the

00:42back four. It's the whole team, the whole set-up from the staff. So, it's a huge group

00:48effort, joint effort so far and hopefully it can continue because it's given us a good

00:54base to go get some good results. Players, centre-halves, goalkeepers talk about relationships,

00:59sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, yet you've come into this defence with new

01:03players as well and it seems to have clicked very quickly, why? I don't really, I can't

01:09really tell you. I've come here, Anel and Robert have been here a while, obviously Soos

01:15has just come in as well. I think things have just clicked on the pitch, I can't really explain.
