Ahead of Saturday’s match against Doncaster Rovers, Ryan Wintle spoke to the press at CCS.
Reflecting on recent form in League One, the midfielder shared his thoughts on City’s most recent outing, when they took three points in a hard-fought away clash against Stevenage during the week.
“We go game by game, and thankfully we’ve won the last four, so let’s keep it going,” Ryan began. “I think the other night at Stevenage, people would say that it’s a tough place and it wasn’t a pretty game.
“We dug in well and then the quality showed at the end when Callum [Robinson] came on and scored with a great finish.
“The belief is there that as long as we do the hard stuff and the dirty stuff that teams are going to try, then our football will show and we’ll win the game.
“Everyone is going to have their own way of playing. We’ve got to play the way that’s going to get the best out of our players and that’s the way we’re playing at the minute.
“I’m loving it, with the manager everyone has to be ready. We’ve got players even if you go out of the team – look at Robbo not playing and scoring goals even when he does come on.
“Everyone wants to play, it’s our job and it’s just about not getting too down when you’re not playing, but when you are really enjoy it and make sure that you give it everything so that you can enjoy it and keep playing every week.”
Having donned the captain’s armband for the Bluebirds, Ryan discussed the character within the side, with leaders emerging in the group as the season progresses and fixtures come thick and fast throughout the month.
“I was vice skipper to Joe Ralls before so I’ve had the role of wearing the armband,” he continued. “This season we all voted for who got the captaincy, but whoever gets it we’d all like to think we’re leaders, so it doesn’t matter so much when we stick together as a team.
“There are eleven of us out there and we all do our best. Every game we’re going into hoping to get the win.”
