Press news in...

Today's press conference starts at 4️⃣.3️⃣0️⃣pm!
-----------------------------------------------------

DW: “Onel has improved, but I can’t see him being involved in the next couple of games. Placheta is back in contention for the squad. Everybody else came through the last game okay.”

DW on Lima: “This is an academy signing. I will look at him when the time is right but I don’t like to speak about it.”

DW on McLean and Sara: "Both have started at a very high level, they set the standard in training. Especially Gabby, having a difficult off-season and pre-season due to his surgery, it's good to see they have been on a high."

DW: “Good players can play together and they are good players (Kenny and Gabby). They are both smart and football intelligent. People doubted Kenny McLean playing in the six-role, but he has done great. He is a proper leader.”

DW on Fassnacht: “You cannot ask for much more since he arrived. He has scored a goal already. He has space to improve, but his wife will come over in October. This will make a huge difference for him as he’s alone at the moment.”

DW on Fassnacht: “He has twice experienced the Champions League group stages. England and English football in the Championship was a challenge he wanted. At his age, not many opportunities like this will arise again.”

DW on Rowe: “We don’t have discuss his wonderful start. Four goals in four games is incredible for such a young lad, so credit to him. But it’s important about how we move forward. He must keep focused to continue what he has done.”

DW on Rowe: “He has massive room for improvement as he hasn’t finished one game yet. All the work load he has invested after 60 minutes means he cannot continue on the same level.”

DW on potential of Rowe getting a England U21 call-up: “If you ask me, I know England have some top players. He can only continue in the way he is.”

DW on transfers: “You know how it is, while the window is open I cannot rule anything out. I’m happy with the squad.”

DW: “We are not financially the big guns in the league. We have been smart with our free transfers. I feel fully supported by the board in the window.”

DW on the mood: “The results affect the atmosphere and this is the truth. But the last results are in the past, we focus on Huddersfield.”

DW: "Results influence atmosphere, it's a place you like to be, in this environment doing something that you love. One of the strengths of this group is that they respect that what they have done is good, but it's in the past."

DW on Huddersfield: “They have a decent experienced Championship squad. Hogg in midfield was my player. But we focus on ourselves.”

DW: “I always love to go back to Huddersfield. I have great memories from my four years there. It is one of the fixtures I look for first.”

***Neil Warnock on Norwich: “David's got them flying and Narcis will be telling them everything about how we do things. I hope they go up because they're a good club and David's a good bloke.”***

DW: “We take it game-by-game. We like to be successful and win, and to do this we have to invest a lot. We must be strong in set-pieces. We must fight and show this again on Saturday.”

That's all from the boss, cycling home to make a Coolknee salad.
