Lee Johnson has spoken about Dan Neil's recent callup to England's under-20 squad...
ALWAYS IN THEIR SYSTEM
"Dan has always been in their system. I saw a lovely picture from Dan's dad of him playing in the U15s, before he had what was pretty much a two-year injury."
PROUD
"What an amazing, proud moment for Dan and his family. And all of the people at the club who've worked with Dan, to see him now involved in that on merit, from his performances at a League One club."
CREDIT
"Credit goes to Dan first and foremost, and credit goes to England for their scouting service that's got him into that squad."
EMOTIONS
"Dan is going to be going through a lot of emotions at the moment."
MAGNIFICENT
"He's been magnificent for us, then we've lost a couple of games, he gets a contract, and then an England call-up... we've got to keep him steady."
IMPROVING
"We want to use that confidence that comes from the gravitas of proving all the time he's a real player. At the same time, I've just shown him three positional mistakes from the Sheffield Wednesday game that have led to us conceding chances. That's not me digging him out in any way, it's about me trying to make him a better player and further our cause in the league as well. If you do that when they're flying, you can put your arm around them when they're not flying."
