Me as much as anyone else," he said. "I have been playing football a long time and am used to playing.[LNB]"I understand the game is changing, with squads, rotations and stuff but everyone wants to play and there are 30 players on the training field saying the same thing.[LNB]"My whole time has been frustrating here, in that I haven't played as much as I would have wanted. But my starts to goals ratio isn't bad and I will keep plugging away and for as long as I am here, I will keep doing what I can."[LNB]
