Reiss, Joe, Josh and I train together a lot and Iāve developed a real understanding with them. Itās always fun to play with them and theyāre great players, so itās easier for me.

Itās great to get to work with the first team so often, I feel better, sharper technically and I feel like I read the game better, so every time I go over there it helps me when I come back to the under-23s.
on still focusing on under-23s despite his first-team opportunitiesā¦
Wherever Iām asked to play I will always work hard, train hard and play hard so that Iām impressing people. Iām just being patient and waiting for my chances, Iām confident I can take it when I get it.

It was a great performance, I thought all the players did well. Defensively we were solid and going forward we were always a threat, so it was a really good performance from the team.

on Konstantinos Mavropanosā¦
He was great today, heās very strong, good in the air and looks confident on the ball, so heās a great addition to the team and helped us get the three points tonight.

Heās good, heās got a good battle in him, heās so strong and itās nice to train against players like him as it only improves you.
