Press news in...

We're in position at Colney for today's pre-match presser. Plenty for the Boss to chat about today, after City's latest victory last week over Rotherham. Expect injury news and some Manager of the Month award talk to come shortly.

----------------------------------------------------------------

DF: I appreciate to win the MOTM award. I have full respect to it and to the managers who win it. I'm not a big believer in individual awards. It's more an award for the name of my players and staff.

DF: It was a bit of surprise to win the award as I've been nominated quite a few times and not won! It's a big compliment to the players and staff because they've been excellent over the last month.

DF: Each and every situation is difficult. At night I'm always thinking about what next to do as a manager. It doesn't matter where you are in the league.
I prefer to have the pressure at the top of the table, rather than the bottom.

DF: Sadly we can't involve Moritz Leitner tomorrow. It's quite a surprise because he still has some problems with his calf. We have some good news with Onel Hernandez. He's trained the last two days and is available for tomorrow.

DF: We have some slight knocks from the last game but all the other lads are okay.

DF: Bolton has a pretty experienced squad, they are used to fighting against relegation. They won't be nervous, despite their form. I'm pretty sure they will get back to winning ways soon, but hopefully it isn't tomorrow.

DF: Our home form has been good. We've been down in a few games but we've shown we shouldn't be concerned when we go behind because we can come back. We know we have to be respectful and disciplined in every game. As long as we are successful, I don't mind how we win.

*The Boss have just delivered a Pirates of Carribbean story when comparing the apparent curse of the Manager of the Month award. He hopes to beat the curse!*

DF: Hopefully Kenny will train with the Under-23s tomorrow. He could play against Wolfsburg next Thursday.
Louis is doing some running stuff but he will need a few more weeks.

DF: There are some difficults calls to be made tomorrow. It's not easy to get back into the squad but the competition is good. I'm looking forward to have Kenny, Mo and Louis back.
It makes my job difficult but I do look forward to the competition.

DF: It will be a very difficult game tomorrow. We are full of respect for Bolton. It will be very competitive.

DF: When they come here to the league leaders, they won't play with any pressure. They are very experienced and work with a good manager in Phil Parkinson. They'll be compact and solid.

DF: Last season at Carrow Road v Bolton, the first 45 minutes was one of best throughout the season. We got frustrated in the second-half. Hopefully we can show our improvements tomorrow. We have come a long way. Patience is a big word from me.

DF: We are really pleased with Tim's [Krul] performances. He was a bit rusty at the start but that was normal as he hasn't played a lot over recent seasons. He has played some really good games recently. He has high standards and was self-critical about the goal last week. But he is of high-class.

That's all from Daniel Farke. Much more reaction to come on our channels over the next 24 hours. Stay tuned!
