We recently sat down with midfielderEuan Andersonto speak to him about his thoughts on the season so far, his personal performances, and the strong bond within the squad. With the team picking up momentum, Euan reflected on what’s been working on and off the pitch.Squad Progress and Steady ImprovementEuan has been part of the Saltcoats Victoria setup for some time now and has witnessed the club’s steady progress. Speaking about his experience so far, he was full of optimism.”It’s been good so far, especially seeing the progress we’re making as a squad and as a club. Everything is moving in the right direction, and we’re improving all the time. There’s a real belief in what we’re doing.”Overcoming Challenges and Hitting FormThe season has had its share of highs and lows, but Euan believes the team has turned a corner in recent weeks.”We had a promising start before hitting a bit of a bumpy patch in the middle, but we’ve steadied things now and are putting in strong performances with results to match. For me personally, it’s been decent, but I know I’m capable of more, so I just need to keep making sure I’m doing the right things.”With the squad regaining consistency, there’s a renewed sense of confidence heading into the latter stages of the season.Dressing Room Spirit and Key CharactersA strong team spirit is crucial to any squad, and Saltcoats Victoria’s dressing room is no exception. Euan gave us an insight into the atmosphere behind the scenes.”The atmosphere has been good among the lads. Even when things weren’t going our way, we’ve kept positive, and it’s paying off now. Everyone plays their part in the dressing room, but I think Kieran Hollis would be annoyed if I didn’t give him a shout as the biggest character!”The Gaffer’s InfluenceEvery successful team needs strong leadership, and Euan had high praise for managerStevie Wilsonand his coaching team.”Stevie’s been great—he doesn’t mess about, and all the boys respect that. A lot of managers at this level can get bogged down in the details, but he makes sure we’re always working harder than the opposition and doing the basics properly. It wouldn’t be fair not to mention the whole coaching team because they all play a big part in preparing us every week.”A Midfielder on the ScoresheetOne of the standout aspects of Euan’s recent form has been his eye for goal, and he had a light-hearted response when asked about his newfound scoring touch.”It’s got to be the bright boots—must be blinding the defenders!”However, he was quick to highlight the importance of his strike partnerRossin his recent success.”A big part of this is down to the partnership I’ve got with big Ross. Since switching to two up front, we’ve both clicked at the same time and have been putting the ball in the net. Hopefully, we can keep this going until the end of the season—it’d be great to see one of us up there in the race for the Golden Boot.”Looking AheadWith the team hitting form at the right time, Euan is keen to build on recent performances and finish the season strong.”The focus now is to keep improving and keep putting points on the board. We’ve got a great squad here, and if we keep working the way we have been, we can achieve something special.”- Thank you Euan for taking the time to speak to us.View
