Teammates: Jake Bidwell

Best mate at the club?

I’ve
not been at the club for very long at all as I only signed in the summer, so
that’s a difficult one to
answer to be honest.

I’d
probably have to say Grimesy (Matt Grimes) – he’s obviously the captain and
he’s helped me settle in really well, which has helped me a lot.

Last to buy dinner?

Again
this is tough as I’ve not been here long. From what I’ve heard though, Connor
Roberts isn’t always the first to put his hand in his pocket! I’ve not seen
that for myself just yet though.

Worst dressed?

I’ve
seen George Byers walking around in some highly questionable tracksuits. Some
of them have been extremely lairy and rather questionable to say the least!

The pre-match dressing room DJ?

There’s
a couple for this to be fair – George Byers is one who’s really into his house
music so he’s a definite contender.

Connor
Roberts also has a few tasty mixes which always go down well in the dressing room.

Late for training?

I
think the lads are generally pretty good to be honest!

Everyone
normally arrives on time and I’ve not yet seen anyone turn up late since I’ve
been here.

If
I had to say someone though it would be Andre Ayew – he’s always turning up at
29 minutes past the hour just before we start, so if I was a betting man I’d
say him.

Teacher’s pet?

That’s
probably the captain – Grimesy again. I guess he is the captain so it’s his job
to be the teacher’s pet. It’s one of those things that’s got to happen, I
guess.

First on the dance floor?

Nathan
Dyer is
always throwing a few shapes, so it’s got to be him.

Most likely to disgrace themselves at the Christmas party?

This
is a really tough one! From what I’ve seen so far I think we’ve got a pretty
sensible bunch of lads.

I
would have said Oli Mac (McBurnie) but he’s obviously left for Sheffield
United, so it’s probably going to have to be George Byers again. He’s a
confident lad and always looking to do something.

The Fifa king?

I’m
really not much of a gamer to be honest, and most of the lads who do play are
more into Fortnite
at the
moment, but that might change.

I’ve
not actually seen anyone play FIFA since I’ve come here so I’ve got no idea,
I’m afraid.

The worst tattoo?

You
see so many of them these days you don’t even look at them any more! The chef’s
got a good Jack Army one on his arm, which is probably the best I’ve seen.

Going to make the best manager?

I’d
have to go for Grimesy again – he works really hard at his game and I think he
understands the game well.

He’s a total football man, and I think if
he was a manager he’d look to play the way we like to play and want his team to
get on the ball. I can see him being a good manager.
