One of the negatives of last night was seeing our mini Messi, Patrick Roberts, limp off the pitch early on. Head coach Michael Beale has provided an update on the winger and others.
MIGHT BE LUCKY
“He said he felt it being tight, so we’ll obviously get it looked at, but he doesn’t feel as though he’s popped it so we might be lucky there.”
BUSY SCHEDULE
"That’s the schedule that we’ve had. It’s been a whirlwind ten days with the three games, and we had two days where we couldn’t really train because of the high winds. There’s not been a lot of time so I’m getting to know this group on the go."
PEMBELE
“I haven’t had a chance to see a lot of Timothée. We’ve only had two or three sessions, so I’m learning a lot about him.”
OTHERS
“Jenson hadn’t played 90 minutes for a long while, and he did fantastic at Hull, I thought he was one of the picks of our players. We knew that going 60 or 70 minutes (at Rotherham), we’d have to rotate that. The game was asking for it as well. I haven’t seen much of Timothee, but we’ve got him, Aji is now fit and Dennis is back in training as well. Losing Niall Huggins was a blow, but I think we’re blessed in the full-back positions. I think we’ve got three or four outstanding young full-backs."
