Hello and welcome to Flint Off Savage and the ping pong guy, that's me Matthew Syde,

another set of meaty topics. How hard is it to break into the first team when you're

in a youth team setup? What does body shape got to do with coaching and new challenges that each of us still want to achieve?

Remember you can use the hashtag FredSatSide to suggest future topics but before we get going let's talk about what we always talk about which is what we've been up to over the previous week. Fred, do you want to kick off?

I've been at my musical and my friends in musicals. What's that this week?

Oh my God. I've been in Leeds all week and I've been on a CVIT. It's gone up a notch.

It's getting closer and closer so this week was a bit more about the music and they had this thing called six with the band.

I had no idea what it was and it's a German word for sit down or something.

Sit, sit, sit. So you walk into the room, you've got the band and you've got four microphones at the front.

I'll post a picture of what it looks like and then you sit on the side with the rest of the cast waiting for your song to come on and then sing out well with the band.

It was like the extractor, six-chair challenge and I'll be honest with you, I want to go to chair.

I walked up and there's something about walking up towards the microphone which is quite nerve-racking and then to start singing my songs.

And then looked loved it like and then last night I was in Leeds again in the theatre singing on stage with the band and it's all come a little bit real now.

So you're already?

Nearly, tomorrow we've got two run-throughs which are crucial before Tuesday.

But the other thing you walk around Leeds and there's such a buzz about it because every bus that goes past,

there's adversaries, pictures on buses, pictures on all the billboards, everyone's talking about it.

It's hard, my word.

Do you think the pressure thread will be different when there's an actual live paying audience?

I don't want to ratchet up the pressure on you but do you think there'll be a different feel when you're approaching the microphone if you're starting to sing on that first night?

It'll be brilliant.

I probably should be at this point a little bit more nervous than what I am but I reckon just before I go out there and choose there I'll be ticking.
