MUNDLE'S MONDAY

Romaine Mundle was happy to kick pre-season off with a neat finish in our 4-0 win over South Shields and had this to say afterwards…

“It’s been a really good week. You always look forward to coming back in, seeing the lads, getting the boots back on. There’s a great energy already — the new boys have fitted in well and everyone’s come back in the right mindset. That’s what these matches are for. It’s all about getting going again, building sharpness, and working on a few things as a team. The result’s great, but the main thing is just being back out there, enjoying the football again.”

“It’s always nice to get off the mark — even in pre-season. Habib set me up, and you can see straight away the kind of quality he’s got. He’s sharp, he sees things early, and he’s going to be a great addition to the squad. It was a proper good occasion, to be fair. These games are important — not just for us, but for the local clubs as well. It’s great to get out and support places like South Shields and just see everyone again after Wembley. There’s been a bit of a buzz around the fans since then and you could feel that”
