“It’s fantastic, I love it. I’ve always loved it," the Pool boss said.

“It’s game after game after game and you can’t beat it. We could be working for a living, couldn’t we? But we’re doing this, so we’re very lucky.

“I think the players like it as well.

“It’s all about rest and recovery. It probably means we have less days at Squires, so that’s not the worst news.

“It’s just games and I think the squad will get used, so it’s up to them to take the chance.”
