A lot of my game is running off the ball, getting some good crosses and taking people on. You have to be a better player when you have better players around you.

I got the chance to play. I wasn't any different last year than to this year. I know we both speak English, but it's two different cultures. There was a little adjustment period. Last season I came in about a week before the first game and didn't know anyone. This year, I knew everyone and felt comfortable and it's gone well.

If people could get permits here, I'm sure that more Americans would be over here. There's 10 or 11 of us over here now, and it's been really, really good.

You never want to get ahead of yourself. People are looking at promotion and saying how easy it's going to be for us, but obviously you are just going to jinx yourself if you go too far ahead. There's no point in talking about it until it actually happens.

I don't think anyone expected it. I don't think anyone expected us to not lose since the first game of the season.

We had a lot of guys out today, and we had other guys who stepped in straight away and did really, really well. I think we have so many guys with experience that it doesn't really matter who's in there.
