display fireworks plenty
There were plenty of fireworks on the pitch, but the only flares on display were those on Nigel's suit.
run special
It will have to be a special run but I have always been the optimist.
brought built few good including marc reputation
They've brought in a few players, including Marc Nygaard, who built up a good reputation in Italy,
good lean relieved spell tried
Clinton's relieved to be back scoring. It's been a lean spell for him but he's a good striker and I've tried to be encouraging.
blatant dive injury player
If there is a blatant dive and a player is feigning injury when there is no contact, they should be fined.
battle due question respect
With all due respect to everyone, there is no question that if AJ is fit, he starts. That is where we are. It is up to everyone else to battle it out.
bring few hopefully
We are working on a few fronts and will hopefully bring in one or two.
bit concerned
We were a little bit concerned that we hadn't got more of a lead.
five four goals outside rate terrific top
Outside of the top four strikers in the Premiership, I rate him up there as one of the best. He's got five goals for us now and he is doing a terrific job.
certainly game treated
I was disappointed. You'd always think the FA Cup's a big game - that's certainly how I treated it.
environment running week
I think that in a week to 10 days, he could be back in the running environment.
ball gives hardly hopefully kicked missed option problem towards
Hopefully we are getting towards the end of the problem because we've missed Danny. He gives us a different option and it's very frustrating because he's hardly kicked a ball for us this year.
confident fit good pleased powerful quite run seems
He is back fit now, which I am pleased about. He is a powerful lad, who seems confident after a good run in the team, and quite right too.
best certainly chance leaving players return
There is no chance of AJ leaving during the window. If we want to return to The Premiership we have to keep our best players here - and AJ is certainly one of those.
