Awoniyi Getting Ready For New Season
Awoniyi highlighted the importance of building a winning mentality in the group ahead of the start of the season.

“It was hot but, as I said, pre-season is all about getting fitness and getting the minutes. We all know this and the goal is to be ready for the first game, so we need to keep it going.
“The games we want during the season start now, this is where you get all the bits done, because when the season starts you will have less time to do the running. This is where your winning mentality starts. If we’re going to achieve anything it starts from here.
“It’s been great to be back with everyone again and getting an understanding of everyone again.
“Sunday is about getting the minutes in the body again and being ready for the season.”
