Just a brief summary of the main points (paraphrasing).

- Tom Davies is available, will play a part tomorrow, need to be careful with him

- Blaster back in training!

- Gus out of his brace now, def be back game after international break, possibly before

- The Tom Davies "position" - Jairo's showed what he's about, Soumare's taken steps forward which we're delighted with

- Tyrese's match fitness, - prefer 65 mins of him at his best than 90 not, though would obviously prefer if he could go longer than 65m - maybe that's not achievable

- Preston game - some of it was bad luck, we have talked about better game management. We didn't cave in , team mentality is good - didn't get battered

- Derby game - always edgy games, always enjoy them. It's a big game against a big club. Brewster will get the reception he gets. Gave me everything, a good pro, a good lad shame, about the injuries

- Was asked at the end about O'Hare given he already has half the goals+assists he got all last season - big player for us, he has stepped up, leads from the front

Should have started in the play off final Wilder!
 
Heard it all now, a professional footballer can’t do 90 minutes, literally paid thousands of pounds a week to do this
How do you make it up to the elite level, which Championship is relative to the millions of people that play, without being able to play 90mins? And that's with dedicated training staff, facilities that are presumably available whenever he wants, probably a dedicated chef preparing his meals. Unbelievable really

Because, as always, it's not relative to millions of people. It's relative to the opposition who are also elite level athletes.
 
If Campbell could play at his 60 minute level for 90 minutes he wouldn't be here. That's the trade off.

It's not that different from Mousset (brain and belly). Or Baldock (attacking). Or Bogle (defending). Or any number of other players.

If they were the complete package then they wouldn't be here.

We're shopping for slight seconds.
 

Last night Wrexham and Cov were phyiscal, athletic and entertaining, both teams looked to get forward fast and get the ball in the box early from a variety of angles …

We are the polar opposite to all the above 👆

Strikers will always struggle moving forward because our build up play is so slow and therefore space so limited

Really, where would he then? When fit he's a top end championship striker at what should be a top end championship club.
There's quite a few other champ strikers as good, if not better than him.
