Lee Johnson has spoken about Bailey Wright, the defender's form and how he was "rock solid" on keeping him over the summer...
GOOD FOOTBALLER
"Bailey is a really good footballer. I've always said that when Bailey's body is at its most fluid, you've got a really good footballer there."
GOOD SHAPE
"He's in top shape at the moment and moving well. He's got a really good footballing brain. He might not have the silk if you like but if you look at his decisions based on about 500 passes, they're very good ones."
FORM
"We've said before that it's about Bailey producing that type of form over the season, simple as that. His form has been good of late. For me, it's all about his body as I say. He has that brain, the warrior spirit and his culture setting is really important to us."
RETAINING WRIGHT
"I was rock solid on that one throughout the summer in not wanting him to leave, and trust me there is no one happier than me that he's playing well.
TECHNICAL DIRECTOR COURSE
"I hope that he's my assistant manager one day. He's actually doing a technical director course, so maybe I can be his Head Coach."
CONTRACTS
"As you move in to November/December, you start to think about that [contracts] even more. Of course budgets come into it as well. If the boys are doing well, it's simple."
AGE
"Look at Aiden McGeady. Age doesn't really come into it when you produce to the level he did last season."
COMPETITION
"It's no different for the likes of Flanno, Bailey, whoever. I've been really pleased with Flanno and Bailey, and of course with Callum Doyle and Frederik Alves we've got really strong competition in that position."
