RLB: REINILDO APOLOGISED

In the buildup to our trip to Nottingham Forest, Regis Le Bris has been answering a few questions about Reinildo and the gaffer has since cleared the whole situation, saying the full back knew he did wrong and apologised so it's all water under the bridge.

APOLOGISED

“He knew, exactly after the tackle, that it was really dangerous. He apologised and it was really clear so now, we move on.”

GREAT CHARACTER

“The squad showed great resilience after this event and defended really well, a strong block and even after the goal conceded, they showed the character to come back into the game.”

QUALITY IN DEPTH

“This was really positive. It was probably possible to try and chase three points before this red card but after this it was only one. And for the future, injuries and suspensions are part of the journey. So we know that we'll need 16,17,18 fully involved players across the season. For those who didn't play so far, they have an opportunity so far to show their quality.”

O'NIEN BACK

“Yeah, Luke is now connected with the the squad fully, so he's an option now.”

REINILDO REPLACEMENT

“Lucha [Geertruida] as well has played centre back, right back, left back, so he's an option. We have Arthur as well, so I think for the back line, we have different options. I think when we built the the squad with the recruitment structure, the sporting direction, we thought about different options and I think we have a player to cover this position [Arthur] and we have versatility as well to to create other options depending on the scenario, the opponent, the dynamic of the squad and so on.”
