He actually reads and writes it better than he speaks it which suggests to me it won't be long before he picks up the language. |
He could be out for four to six weeks. |
He has a fracture in his ankle so you're talking about a minimum of six weeks out. |
He's got a very left foot and good ball playing ability that could give us options but his English isn't exactly fantastic, |
I honestly don't think the players knew what they were doing, it was something that was in the heat of the moment and I'm sure they regret their actions. |
I wouldn't say that was his best strike for us but it must have been pretty close. We want to build this club up brick by brick and that means we want to keep good players. |
I'm delighted with the victory, |
I've spoken to Kevin and his agent and said from my point of view the best thing is if he goes now. |
Leon doesn't feel he can carry on the way he is. He's an explosive player and he needs that to be at his most effective. |
My reasoning is that the alternative date is 25 October and that would have left us with three away games in seven days, |
Steve is a quality player. He is strong in the air and in the tackle. In fact, his all-round game is very strong. |
That was as well as we've played this year - particularly the first 45 minutes. The performance was excellent. |
The good thing is we're not beaten easily, but the difference between one and three points is considerable when you're at the top of the table. |
There are options. Will he leave? I don't know. It depends who comes in with a firm offer. We'll just have to wait and see. |
There won't be the type of wholesale changes that you saw at Oldham. There won't be a lot of differences because I want to try and bed down a side. |
