Press news in...
The boss will be joining us shortly to preview NCFC’s trip to SUFC 🟢🟡
------------------------------------------------------------
JHT on Marcelino Nunez: “It’s a hamstring injury. I think we are looking at three weeks, but maybe more depending on how aggressive we want to be. It could have been worse.”
JHT on midfield: “We are limited on options in midfield and the line-up tomorrow will show this. But it’s not realistic for us to add more options (in transfer window).”
JHT on team news: “They are both still out (Sorensen and Gibbs). Like Gabe (Forsyth) we can’t put a time on him (Gibbs). He is back running on the grass, but it’s about how he can adapt to this. I think he will be out three to four weeks with him.”
*Amankwah Forson is not available for the trip to Sheffield United. Callum Doyle is available.*
JHT: “It creates opportunities (for young players). It’s very easy to play with a young team, as we could select them every week. But it’s not always right to play them straight away. A few of them will be on the bench tomorrow for the first time.”
JHT on Grant Hanley: “He’s been a great part of the club and been here for so many years. He has everything it takes to be a club captain. He’s been a voice in our dressing room and in so many ways a top professional.”
JHT on Grant Hanley: “Everything will come to an end one day. Today it has for him, but we wish him all the best in his new adventure.”
JHT on Brad Hills: “The squad will look so much difference when we start again in the summer. Now Brad (Hills) can take that step. Now they will get some minutes, so we can see where they are.”
JHT on team captain: “We need someone to step up. We will have a club captain and a vice-captain. But we are also working on making a leadership group once the transfer window shuts.”
*JHT confirms that Kenny McLean will be the club captain for NCFC now 🏴*
JHT on Kaide Gordon: “I rate him as a player with a high potential. If he was a player here on a long contract, then I’d have loved to work with him. The problem is he was on loan and we didn’t get that performance straight away.”
JHT on Kaide Gordon: “He really loved to be here and I can speak on behalf of many of the players that he was a great friend. We wish him all the best.”
JHT on Matej Jurasek: “We have (tracked him for a long time). The obvious thing about him is his left foot. He can dribble, move and is technically a good player. The most important thing for us was to sign him before any other clubs came in.”
JHT on Matej Jurasek: “We had him in the building for a couple of days. We made a plan for him and a couple of our physical performance guys will travel to Prague to keep him in the best shape.”
JHT on the rest of the window: “Yes, we are (looking to add new players). You can never know what happens in a window and who wants your players. For now, there isn’t anything major for us leaving. But if a player was about to leave, then we need to add a new player”
JHT on Sheffield Utd: “We will and we have (used reverse game). They can do different things to what they done against us (last time). We are in a different phase of the league now though, so we have to put all that in the context.”
JHT: “It’s always exciting to play against the best teams in the league. Sheffield are one of those and Leeds will be next week. We can dominate in areas of the game where we want to be dominant. It’s about how much we dare to do.”
