Tony Mowbray has spoken about French starlet Edouard Michut, who has suffered with injuries since signing and was sent off in a recent Under-21 game.
HARSH RED
"He needs some encouragement and the opportunity to play. I think he was very harshly dealt with in the U21s game, to be honest, if you saw some of the tackles that went on in that match."
NATURAL TALENT
"He's only a young boy but he is very, very talented, he is very focused. He feels ready to play and I hope that when his opportunity comes, the fans see this player who has two lovely feet, great balance, and who looks forward with his passes. He's a player that I like."
PHYSICALITY
"Is he ready for the physicality of the league? Is he ready that the ref doesn't blow his whistle if someone grabs him round the throat and drags him back, and play goes on instead? There was a bit of that going on the other night in the U21s."
ACCLIMATISE
"It was an eye-opener for him, but he will acclimatise to it because he is a bright kid and you'll see his talent come out on top in the end, whether that is short-term or long-term, because he is a very good player."
