Danny Batth who was the captain against Fulham has been hyping up Joe Gelhardt as well as the other attacking options up top. He even said he sometimes dreads training against them and I don’t blame him.
TEASED BY AMAD AND ROBERTS
"Some days I go into training and think 'oh it's going to be a long day’. Attack vs defence and I have Amad and Patrick playing one-twos and teasing me. But it's good practice at the end of the day because it's not too often you come up against players of that level.”
GELHARDT
“He's sharp, he can pose a threat in behind. He's different to what we've had in Ross, but good players don't take too long to get used to playing with each other. I've got no doubt that all those boys up-front can start sliding balls in for him. He can be a pest in the box and get across a defender, he can hold the ball up, he's strong, so I hope we see the best of him."
GOOD GROUP
"It's a privilege to be part of. We have a team that's dynamic, hungry, aggressive. You see the press and the way we move the ball. I think the fans love the way we're playing. Don't get me wrong, we're not going to get it right every week, but there's definitely a will to win there and a determination about the group."
ALL TO PLAY FOR
"You look at the table and we're in a decent position. We're not up there with Burnley and Sheffield United but we're not down the bottom. In my eyes it's all to play for. If you put a good week together, you're going to be thinking this, that and the other. If you have a bad week you're going to be looking over your shoulder, so it's all about taking it one step at a time. Let's just try and win the next game."
FULHAM
"Obviously we've lost the game but we have to realise how far we've come. You're playing against top players, international players and players who are getting results against Chelsea and these teams. The margins are very fine, but yeah I think we really enjoyed the cup run. Now we can focus on the league and see how we go until the end of the season."
