"We’ve got a good enough squad and a big enough squad to cope with the quick turnaround of matches," he admitted.

"I was speaking to Gus [Mafuta] about how Salford struggled at the start of last season and before that Tranmere struggled. A lot of teams beat each other in this league and everyone takes points of everyone."
