Similarities between Samy and Dara as captains. Both driven, but different backgrounds, so own traits they bring to the role. |
Sad to lose Omari and Delap but should be seen as success stories, went for record-breaking fees and will go on to have big careers. | | | |

I've just asked a load of questions, forget all the answers, confirmed no break for Szmodics, was fear of a fracture. Akpom, I forget what he said. Will come back to that. |

what could we do though?
we gave him a new, improved deal less than a year ago, we can't give him a guaranteed starting spot |
I think its all pretty natural, if difficult for everyone concerned. He's proven that he's a capable pro and wants to play every week to give himself the best chance of progressing. Right now, we're not going to offer him that so he has to decide to stick or twist. |  | | |

Agrees with Will Still, waiting to see the window close to see what the squad looks like. Always looked to build around strengths of players. At the moment we've got players in roles they've not done as much and with partners they've not played with as much. That's a challenge for a lot of managers, especially if you've been relegated. Up to us to make the best of it. Try and pick up points in the interim and have a lot of work in the autumn to pull squad together. Everyone has a role in that, staff, players, fans as well, making players feel welcome, as they did last week. | | | |

Reality is last few days of transfer window important but my focus can't be on that. And can't focus too much on one player, they might not come in, might get injured. What's brought us success is culture, the day to day. Need talent and depth over 46 games, but at the end of the day, if we bring in one player or four players over the next week, it's about culture. | | | |

Can you check if the owners have lost interest and pocketing all the money? |  |

Don’t beat yourself up, journalism is tricky. Give it another 30 years, you’ll get there Phil.  |  |

Perhaps he's taken up the dictaphone offer and is now finding it hard. | |

That’s Woolfy off then. Doesn’t sound like we are moving heaven and earth to keep him. |
What exactly can we do? He got a new contract in January. I imagine he wants to play, but I don't see many calling for O'Shea to be dropped so that Woolf can start more games and I can't see us permanently changing shape so that we can play both O'Shea and Woolf, and nor should we. I'll be gutted when he goes as I'm a big fan, and personally I wouldn't have been in a rush to replace him last year, but given where we are at, I don't really see what we can do to make him want to stay when it's clear he wants to be playing regularly. |  |

The only thing would be to play him on the left ahead of Greaves. I can imagine some fans being happier with that solution. He has experience there from Lambert's League One days though never looked completely comfortable, albeit he didn't have as much experience then. McKenna tried, and generally succeeded, in selling the importance of the squad last season but it won't fly with as many players at a lower level. | |

Akpom: “He’s trained with the group now for the last couple of days, so that’s the first really he’s trained full throttle with the group, so that’s a positive step forward. All being well, he’ll be with us for Preston.” | | | |

Ah, prepping for possible disappointment. Which is understandable, as I bet they have no clue themselves if they’re going to be able to get some of these deals done. |  |
