MOWBRAY ON DAJAKU


Tony Mowbray has admitted he is finding it hard to fit Leon Dajaku into the side - but insists the German has a part to play this season.


CONFIDENCE

"He's got some good attributes and he needs to get his confidence levels up. He needs to believe in himself. He has got a rocket in his right foot which he doesn't show anybody enough."


SHOOT!

"I watch him in training and he can take the net off the goals with the power in his right foot, and yet have you ever seen it? I keep saying 'when you get on your right foot, shoot!' I see it in training and it's amazing. If anything, he tries a bit too hard. And is he a central striker? Does he want to play wide?"


WINGER OR STRIKER?

"He's got some competition if he wants to play wide in this team. The opportunity was there to play him centre-forward but I'm not sure he is comfortable with his back to goal, he needs the ball in front of him chasing onto it."


INBETWEENER

"It's trying to see the players you've got and how you're going to put them into the team in the way we're going to play. I think he is just falling a little bit in between because he is not a back-to-goal centre-forward who can hold people off and bring people in, yet he probably hasn't got the blistering speed that you need to really threaten the space behind them."


AROUND THE SQUAD

"He's been around the squad and he's helped us. I took him off at half-time the other day [at Huddersfield] but he had worked hard enough, yet a proper centre-forward coming on you could see made the difference."
