A bit shorter version this time as little was said..
Injuries / Dan Burn
Dan Burn has reacted well and will hopefully be training on Friday and should be available for the game (there's also a chance he wont be but I wont tell you). No other fresh problems. No fresh injuries aside from that.
Sanchez call-up
Good job by Ben Roberts and Casper and the academy, pleased for Rob who got everything you need to be a top goalkeeper.
Child abuse in football
Is bad.
Aaron Connolly. Any action taken?
Made a mistake (its not the end of the world but I'll condemn it because that makes my life easier and yours more difficult). Its been dealt with internally. Reporter wants to know if he was fined but GP doesnt want to comment on how they dealt with it (internally! bro..). He is a human being and we have to move on.
Newcastle the most important game of all time nothing else matters life begins and ends on Saturday?
One in ten games but sure it adds extra importance if you look at the table. Three points would be very very nice. It is what it is (it is exactly that: what it is).
Want to keep the momentum going from the Saints game?
Of course (duh).
Veltman
Great football intelligence, surprised with his skills in the final third.
Connolly in the matchday squad?
To be decided tomorrow (Friday).
Ben Roberts, Sanchez "second father"
Special qualities of Ben Roberts is that he cares about the players as humans and is indeed a bit of a father figure, kicking them in the back when needed and putting an arm around them when needed. Tough love and loving feedback, good mix.
Importance of captain Dunk
Really important and he is getting better and better, really. Its his second season as captain and he leads by example, and he's been the best player since GP came to the club. So he leads in that regard, but he is also developing how to lead as a man and as a person off and on the pitch.
