Darnell's chatting to us at the moment. Kieran on at 2.30. On Town TV, so may not be quite so lengthy on the thread, others can add if they're watching. |  | | |  |

So Darnell scampered through his spiel in twenty minutes leaving dead air for the remaining ten ? Perhaps Furlong doesn't go that extra mile... |  |

That's good. This jaunty music is a bit mind-bending after a while. |  |

Last week's result boost to the training ground and squad, but was before the game. We're good at that, keeping things level and positive. Had that feeling since the international break that the group was in the right mindset. Result like that gives everyone a boost. Been a good week here, conscious it was one good game, one good result. Good way to start the next chapter, but only one game. | | | |

Azor, great guy, really settled in, team guy, club man, wants best for the team, really good human qualities. Good pre-season, admitted the first game was tough, but can see progress game on game. All moving in positive direction. Early days, only five games in, some levels to go, but bringing good things. | | | |

Strong in a few different depts now, where we want to be. Challenges in this division so varying, need that. Lots of players trying to establish themselves here, or like Azor in English football, Humphreys in seniro football.
Marcelino has played as a 10, Jens did the same for Napoli. But 46 games, so not got any concerns about those players having chances to contribute. Will start, will have appearances from bench, Taylor and Humphreys as well. Physical league, we want to be a strong and physical team. | | | |

Training level this week has been excellent, right where we want to to be. If it stays like that then we'll make the progress we need. Challenge is then to come together as a group for the match and only 11 can start. To be where we want to be we need a strong bench and will be good players who aren't involved. Spoke to players about that, have almost everyone other than Wes fit, but we know over the course of the season we'll have injuries and suspensions. Over course of year, pitch will look different. | | | |

Going to be tough, won't be any exceptions. Different to when we went there last time. Lots of players from different backgrounds. Showed their quality in some games, Hull, 3-0 win. Every team competitive so we know it's tough to win back-to-back. | | | |

Players have done a few different things off the pitch, did things on Saturday, leadership group has come together. Players aren't rushing off after training, which is always a good sign. Enjoying competing against one another. Important to carry that on into the weekend.
Won't say who the leadership group is, three or four join the captain. A lot of those who have previously been in aren't here, so that's new as well. Having that finalised helps with some situations.
Where did they go on the Saturday? Ask Wes Burns! | | | |

Everyone wants to start, they compete to start, which is fine, but these days, since five subs rule, the impact of subs is massive. Shown players the stats on that. Highest goals off the bench in Europe during League One and Champ seasons. Teams that did well in the PL last year similarly. We've already seen that this season. Felt Friday squad was in a really strong place. Starting to feel what the messaging is, that if you don't start, you'll get a goal or assist against a tiring defence. Won't be the same team every week and we have different profiles in different areas. If you want to be the top team, having strength in depth is really important. | | | |

Spoke to Darnell re Ishmael, Conor Chaplin from his time at Barnsley. I faced him with United when he was at LASK. Man to man pressure, direct, more zonal defending than his earlier teams. You prepare for the team you're going to face, but we know teams will change over the season. Sheffield United were different last week to how they had been earlier in the season. Versatile. | | | |

Is Orange his favorite flavour ? |  |

Forgot to add injury stuff, which is now on the frontpage and also a bit about squad change we've had this summer and Blackburn not uncommon for the Championship these days. | | | |

I think Matusiwa is going to be one of the standout signings of the summer. I know it's hard to tell from the upper tier of the Sir Alf stand but he looks like he's got the personal qualities we need. And the massive thighs.
You see it in little things from the highlights videos etc. |  | | |
