Transcript

00:00Obviously, Hector Dale-Laurel and Delacroix all involved last night in a great win for the Under-23s.

00:05That's going to be quite the selection headache going forward into Christmas.

00:08So is that something, obviously, it's a good thing, all these players coming back?

00:10Good thing, yeah.

00:11Look, they're the demands of the job and the chair that I sit in,

00:14and certainly the headache's what you want as a coach, really.

00:18You never want people on the injured table.

00:21And we've got three centre-halves that have played last night coming back from injury.

00:25One pleased that all of them got some minutes yesterday

00:29and they're all moving in the right direction, really.

00:31So I'm pleased for that.

00:32And that headache is down to me to obviously manage,

00:35but it gives us that opportunity.

00:36It gives us a real opportunity to use them players when need be, really.

00:42Is there any news on other absentees like Lyle, Manuel and Aaron?

00:47Aaron and Lyle are both moving in the right direction, so is Benny.

00:50Benny's on the grass now.

00:52Same with Lyle.

00:54All of them are probably a few weeks away.

00:59Benny and Aaron are probably a little bit longer than that,

01:02but moving in the right way.
