Exciting times but John Caulfield plays cool

“I don’t look at the stats,” said a self-deprecating John Caulfield yesterday, when asked about clocking up — successfully — his 100th league game as Cork City boss with the 1-0 win against Finn Harps last weekend.

“You don’t look too far ahead in this job. You don’t get carried away because it’s a volatile position.”

He mightn’t be too bothered about how many games he has been in the City hot-seat, or looking too far ahead, but there are other numbers he is very clear on.
