On the present state of the primary-staff squad
We want as many match gamers as we will by the season. It’s evident we’ve bought just a few gamers out injured, however the gamers who’ve are available and who’re performing are doing nicely. We have a ‘no-excuse’ tradition on the soccer membership. Whoever performs will probably be prepared.
On the professionalism of the gamers in opposition to Sheffield Wednesday
If you take a look at Sheffield Wednesday’s staff, their beginning XI, there are nonetheless some actually good gamers there.
They had been taking part in with freedom; they have nothing to lose. If they do lose video games, they’re dropping by the odd aim, so it was at all times going to be a really troublesome recreation, and I used to be delighted to get the three factors.
On the tip-of-season run-in
I feel we’re in actually good condition.

I feel we’re forward of schedule for certain, however that first ten video games, after we did not actually have the squad collectively, and we had been nonetheless looking for our approach, it is taken us ten video games to get that understanding. We’re most likely slightly bit forward of schedule, however let’s benefit from the final ten video games as a lot as we will.
On the problem of Millwall
They’re a wonderful staff. I feel within the final three or 4 years, they’ve at all times completed within the prime 10, very near the play-offs.
That staff’s been collectively for 3 or 4 years, in order that they’ve added a little bit of high quality to it. They’ve bought a incredible supervisor there as nicely, in order that’s a staff that is been rising over time. They’re a superb staff, and we’re actually trying ahead to the problem forward.
