At his pre-match press conference, Chris Hughton delivered the latest team news, his thoughts on Jake Forster-Caskey’s loan move to Milton Keynes Dons, keeping Albion’s unbeaten run going and the job that Neil Lennon has done at Bolton.
Team News: “Both Uwe Huenemeier and Sam Baldock are fine; both have trained this week and there have been no issues with them.
“Tomer has made good progress this week. We expect him to train today and be okay, but he hasn’t trained in the early part of the week, which was very much a precaution.
“But we’re very hopeful he’ll train today and if he does, then he’ll be fine for the weekend.”

Forster-Caskey’s loan move to MK Dons: “When it comes to a loan, it’s got to be beneficial for all the relevant parties.
*
“Jake is somebody that is used to playing a lot of football. He’s a good player, there’s no doubt about it, but has found it difficult to get the minutes that he wants here and every now and then there will be a possibility for somebody to go out on loan.
“What we have to do with that is look at is each individual case on its merits and ask whether it’s something that can benefit us.
"The deal that was done is over a short period of time that goes across that international break, so predominantly it was just to get him some game time.”

Possibility of remaining unbeaten in August and September: “There isn’t any manager or team in this division that doesn’t know how hard the games are week in, week out, particularly when you’ve got a Saturday and then a midweek game.
*
“For us in terms of where we were last season, it will be a wonderful achievement [to remain unbeaten in first two months of the season] and at this moment, the team are in good form and going into every game trying to get a result.
*
“It’s important that when things don’t go our way that we are able to bounce back and show the resilience that we have done so far.”
Neil Lennon’s job at Bolton: “It’s a different job for Neil, but he will have known that when he joined.
*
“He has come into a club that has had to change their outlook, as lots of teams in this division have had to. The teams that were Premier League clubs a few years ago, will have had to change in terms of finances and the way they go about signing the type of players they want.
*
“Bolton have some good players and he’s a very experienced manager. I’ve got no doubt that he will do a good job there.”
