Gareth Ainsworth/Kilburn Times
In some ways, the language barrier between the players and our new coach has been a blessing in disguise.
It's meant that everyone starts with a clean slate, whereas sometimes you get a new man coming in with one or two preconceptions.
Also, it's back to basics in terms of trying to play a passing game and I think that's opened up a few of the lads' eyes - maybe we didn't realise just how important it is to retain possession and keep the ball on the floor.
But I think the lads did that against Hull and the fans seemed to enjoy what they saw. If the gaffer can take it on from what Mick Harford put in place, we can become a force to be reckoned with.
It's fairly well known that continental managers are expert at closing out a game when they're winning and the lads adapted well to a change of formation.
And well done to big Marc Nygaard, not just for his efforts on the pitch, but also for acting as the gaffer's translator. I don't think it's all that easy concentrating on your own game when you're also trying to get someone else's point across every day.
I was glad to get a run-out for five minutes. I'd rather be starting, but being in the 16 feels good and hopefully I'll show the gaffer what I can do.
Unfortunately, by half-time on Tuesday, I knew I wasn't going to be playing any part against Coventry as we'd had to use up all our substitutes.
I felt we were unlucky to lose to that killer blow at the end, but our main concern is for the lads who were injured, especially Martin Cranie.
Having to change personnel three times took its toll - but we showed plenty of character and that was one of the positives.
It was also good to see Akos Buzsaky score his first goal for the club - he's hit a few of those in training and now we know he can do it on the pitch as well!
But now we need to bounce back at Crystal Palace. It's a massive surprise to me that Palace are so near the bottom of the table - but, if anyone can lift them out of trouble, Neil Warnock's the man.
They haven't won for a while, so they're a bit like a wounded animal and, sooner or later, someone's going to take the backlash.
We can't underestimate Palace - they've got some good players and, apart from anything, we want to keep our away form going. Charlton was a great experience and it'd be nice to do it again just down the road.Kilburn Times
