S.W.S.C: We would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome you back on behalf go the fans.
Lee: Thank you for having me back! It's nice to be back really. It was hard coming in here as an away player. Thank you for the warm welcome back.
S.W.S.C: Can you tell us a little bit about your decision to return to Swindon?
Lee: Things weren't going quite to plan in Slough. There was a lot of uncertainty. Being an older guy, for me it was do I travel 2000 miles a month to be uncertain on a team or to come home where I know everything inside out and, they know what they are getting from me and I know what I am getting from them.
S.W.S.C: So what was it like walking back into the changing room?
Lee: It was fine to be honest. There was only a couple of the guys that I didn't really know. They accommodated me really well. Most of the British guys I know and have played against many times over the years.
S.W.S.C: So you are playing in defence at the moment. Is that long or short term?
Lee: Not too sure to be honest. Obviously before Christmas there were so many injuries, it was all hands on deck. At the moment we have 12 forwards and 6 D. So for the moment I will play D and if anything happens I will move up forward but at the moment I'm happy to be here and playing really.
S.W.S.C: Is there an expectation that you will transition between the two?
Lee: When I came in, obviously the boys were playing well. So the likes of Floydy (Floyd Taylor) and with the surprise of Aaron (Nell) coming back in, he said 'No, you're playing on D to start with'. And that's fine by me. As long as I can be a part of the team and helping.
S.W.S.C: So is that something you find difficult, when you are playing out there with guys you used to be on a forward line with?
Lee: Em no, it's okay. I was always a bit more defencive as a forward anyway. For me it's not the biggest of issues. It's just a matter of improving every game personally and helping the team.
S.W.S.C: So is there any expectation on the table for you to bring any any points, in terms of goals.
Lee: No, we haven't really spoke about that. We have Aaron and some guys who are going to score so for us to win it is more important then for us to take care of our end and work as a unit rather than everyone trying to score.
S.W.S.C The defence are receiving a lot of stick in the press. Is the same being said in the changing room?
Lee: No, because we all know and are honest. When you win a game it's usually going to be down to team defence, not just those two guys. You're always going to have 3 on 2 if that's the case.
S.W.S.C: The team are still trying to find a degree of consistency...
Lee: It's going to be like that. The league is so competitive this year. You've got to ride it out sometimes and thankfully we've still got a few games up ahead so as long as it is like that there is no panic. It doesn't always go perfect but if you take a look at the last few games. It's there but it's just a matter of coming together as a team. Play both ways and we'll be fine.
S.W.S.C: Last season Bracknell were considered your nemesis. You were finding it difficult to get the win. It's not proven that way with them this season. So who would you consider your nemesis now?
Lee: For me I think it is definitely Manchester. A very very tough team to play. Especially in their own rink. Whereas last year it was Jonas (Hoog)/(Aaron) Nell scoring all the goals this year we should have 2 or 3 good scoring lines. That's hopefully where we'll win.
S.W.S.C: So Lee, what can we expect to see from Swindon over the next months?
Lee: We are a team that really raises our game for the big games. Like on Saturday, if we need to raise it, we raise it!
