Josh Gowling Q And A

 

Hereford interim manager Josh Gowling took part in a Question and Answer session with supporters on Hereford FC's Twitter yesterday afternoon.

Here are a few of the questions and answers:

Q: How does Josh juggle his life given a family in the North and a business in Coventry

A: Preperation and planning. I have been lucky enough to have had a long career so travelling around the country is very normal for me. 

Q: Will Steve Burr be here next season

A: Steve has come in to help me and the club and if i stay, Steve will be right there with me

Q: What are your memories of your first spell here 11 years ago

A: I came to hereford at a bad time in my career and it really turned my career and love for football around. I remember we had a strength and conditioning coach called (Tony) Ford and he got me in the gym lifting all kinds of weights, he was in his 60's I think, he put me to shame. 

Q: Do you think the National League system should be cancelled for this season

A: It's all about economic. If the clubs cannot afford to see the season out, if games are played behind closed doors then it should be stopped. If it's stopped, we have played 80% or more of the season. It is not fair on teams to just wiped that away, there's got to be a better way. 

Q: How are you keeping the players fit

A: All the players have been given a programme that they have to adhere to. It is very important that we keep a structure and the players stay disciplined. They have all committed to times when they can complete their training and we are tracking their progress. 

Q: How easy was it for you to deduce that the awful hoofball played by previous regimes

A: Well as I'm sure some of you are aware, I spent some time in the stands watching and listening to players. Which gave me a great understanding of what needed to change. Each manager has their own style and I can never criticise someone with the amount of experiences Russell has. 

Q: Your best goal against Chorley

A: Yes I would say that was my best goal. I mainly score headers so was nice to get the left peg out. 

Q: What are the chances of signing John-Lewis for next season 

A: Lennel has been fantastic since he's come in. I've told him if he doesnt sign I know where he lives but i dont think he was to bothered about that. He has enjoyed his time here and I know him personally and I think that's a big thing for him at this stage in his career, I'm hopeful.
