Lee Johnson has revealed that both Callum Doyle and Nathan Broadhead have recall clauses in their contracts, as well as Frederik Alves...
EXPECT TO STAY
“There’ll always be clauses in these deals. But I expect both to stay (Doyle and Broadhead). The parent clubs will be looking at a few things – are they being well looked after, are they getting adequate minutes and are they developing in their career? I think if the answer is ‘yes, yes, yes’ to all those things, then I would expect us to be good in the second half of the season with those players.”
ALVES
"The scenario with Alves and West Ham might be slightly different,” Johnson admitted. “Yes, it might be the right club and he might be being well looked after, but he hasn’t had the minutes that he, we or West Ham would have wanted. So there might be a decision on that one that might be out of our hands, but like I say, we will have to see and have to contact them."
HAPPY WITH SQUAD
"But, as a general rule, we’re obviously happy with our squad and we want to add, we don’t necessarily want to lose players, we want to add to our squad and make sure we come out of it stronger.”
LOSSES
"Our big defeats have come at Rotherham where a) we were poor, b) we were down to ten men for a large portion of the game and c) we were on the back of a really tough run physically for individuals and playing a fresh Rotherham who are probably the best team in the league at the moment."
WINS
"But we’ve also performed outstandingly well against Cheltenham and Morecambe and obviously picked up big wins at home so there’s always context behind any performance and any game."
PLYMOUTH
“But this one [against Plymouth], we go into it, although slightly short of numbers, in good form as individuals and as a team.”
