Of course last Saturday Ellis Simms made his return, and whilst that was great to see Mowbray doesn’t think he’ll manage to get a full 90 minutes under his belt until after the World Cup break. On the bright side Ross Stewart is back in training too, albeit only with the physios.
SIMMS PLAYING TIME
"It's probably similar, maybe 10 minutes or so more on Wednesday night. Of course, the state of the game will dictate that as well. It's about him feeling more confident, he's still a young boy and we need to remember that. If he keeps working hard he'll start to feel more confident with it and his general fitness will keep getting back up as well, then he can get to where he can start thinking about starting a game, and then at half time he can feel that he's still got 20 minutes in him etc”
FIRST FULL 90?
"It'll be after the international break that he's ready to play 90 minutes in my mind, but he's got three games before then where can build it up. Hopefully he can get on the scoresheet and then go through that international break where he's really ready and raring to go come December 3rd."
STEWART
"We're getting there, Ross was on the training pitches today though with the physios, not with the team. It's good to see him with his boots on, kicking a ball, that tells me he's not too far away. Daniel Ballard has been out running for a while with the physios as well, so it's good to know that round the corner we're going to have these options, particularly when we go up against the big, physical teams."
