Nigel, are the entire squad reporting back today (Monday) or will they come back in stages?
We've got one or two who will be joining us at the weekend but, for the most part, it's a chance for all the players to come back in and we get the training programme up and running. It's always a day in which you get to see how the players are, physically and as importantly how refreshed they are mentally too, so it's always an interesting day from a manager's perspective.
It's quite a quiet week, the first week, because it's more about observing and catching up with players, as much as anything. But it's important we set the scene this week because this first week will be very much about seeing exactly where they are, with quite a bit of testing, and of course we have our pre-season trip which is again, a training camp with no games.
