🎙️ We await the boss for his thoughts ahead of #NCFC’s trip to SWFC tomorrow evening 👋
--------------------------------------------------------------

DW on mood after ITFC result: “It’s an environment that’s enjoyable to be in. We built this, especially the players over recent months. Saturday and this game, the performance, and result against your biggest rival. Lots of passion and intensity we wanted to deliver.”

DW on quick turnaround: “It’s a challenge for everyone. You’ve seen our team sheet in recent weeks, we have a small squad and are missing lots of players. The decision in the winter was to go in with a smaller squad, but the players have dealt with this well.”

DW: “The games start to get bigger when you play for something. There are not so many games or points to collect left. We need to get the balance right and prepare well.”

DW on fresh look to the squad: “This is possible. Not due to performance but freshness. We need to keep the energy level of the squad on the highest level. But we have the same players available as Saturday.”

DW on Jon Rowe: “He worked very hard, so credit to him throughout his rehab. The medical team have helped bring him back quicker than expected. But whenever he will be back we can’t expect him to be on his level before (will take time).”

DW: “In this period of good results, we have had setbacks. But we have bounced back like after Leeds, Boro and Leicester. This squad showed this against Ipswich at home. This squad takes challenges on board and show what they are capable of.”

DW: “This was on another planet what I experienced on Saturday. Let’s hope we can have more moments like that coming up. This was outstanding and it was not because of the ITFC supporters.”

DW on SWFC: “I’m super confident about tomorrow. On Sunday morning, I went into the canteen and spoke to two senior pros. They said now we need to backup what we done against Ipswich. This is a great mindset.”

DW: “I think what he has done at SWFC is remarkable. If you take out the first games before he came, they wouldn’t be where they are. They play a certain style with a lot of intensity. We know everything we have to know.”

DW on celebrations after Saturday: “I went home and a friend of mine from Germany is here. We went for a bear, but I was home early by 9:30pm, so I can focus on the game. I enjoyed my night even if I didn't have 400 bears.”

**Big credit to the NCFC fans from David Wagner, who says they’ve almost sold out. 2000 travelling fans expected**

That’s it from David Wagner for today at Colney 🤝
