fit gets himself next shut signed since sure
He hasn't been right since he signed in January. So we'll shut him down and make sure he gets himself fit for next season.
against although everybody given looked players quite recent sharp turn weeks
He has looked quite sharp in training, although everybody has to be fair. The players in recent weeks have given me everything to turn things around ? and that's something that wouldn't go amiss against Chelsea.
believe december gain gary happen played reserves sure until
He has come here to gain experience, and nothing can happen until December anyway. I believe Gary Neville has played in the reserves this week, so I am sure he will be back soon, and someone else will go over the other side.
bit difficult far games local perhaps
He is a local ref and perhaps it is something we have to look at. He is not far from us and perhaps when they come into games refereeing their local teams, it is a bit difficult for them.

again chasing defenders ended finish four game goal goals great past players point run second
Once again we ended up chasing the game - but their first goal infuriated me. Their second goal was a great run and finish - but from our point of view, you can't let players go past four defenders like that. The two goals we conceded were avoidable.
great performance played result
Not only have we got the result but we've played ever so well, that was a great performance,
amount clean drawn front fruitful games goal helped scoring sheets start
If you look at the amount of games we have drawn then it's about average, but they've just all come at the same time. The clean sheets have helped us back on track. Now that we've tightened up I want us to get back to being more fruitful in front of goal and start scoring some more.
care happens player
He's their player and they'll take care of the operation. We'll have to see what happens after he's had the surgery.
confidence football hopefully playing
Hopefully we will get back to playing some of our football once the confidence returns.
change difficult everybody game head mistake quality
(Chelsea) is powerful, disciplined, well-organized and they have got so many match-winners. If you don't make a mistake like we did for the first goal, they have so much quality that can change a game on its head which is difficult for everybody else.
force four looking love luke season three weeks
I'd love to have Luke back before the end of the season so he can force his way into that squad, but he's looking at three to four weeks out.
