00:00What sort of stuff was Jefferson doing?
00:02Just some gym work and he just rocked his ankle.
00:04Like I said, a total accident, he just rocked his ankle.
00:07So, a couple of weeks, I think.
00:09Was it late because he saw him walking around at Thursday?
00:13Yeah, yeah.
00:14He can walk, but he can't play swelling.
00:16So, yeah, this week's LSA just thrown us.
00:20And like I said, my problem with it, I'm looking,
00:24I know Cooper have had their injuries in pre-season,
00:27but you can see what they're bringing on off the bench.
00:30And that is why we signed these players.
00:33And I'm talking about wanting more.
00:34And I'm going to Peter and Craig and wanting more players,
00:37wanting more and more.
00:37Yeah, we've got players getting injured, doing things that,
00:41not they shouldn't, that's wrong.
00:42And I'm not going to go to Jebo, like I said,
00:44it's a growing thing and I get that.
00:46My anger is with these people.
00:48I had it with Marley Watkins when that superior striker was coming through,
00:53posting all along when Marley scored superior striker.
00:57Clare and Marley Watkins scores for Barley, Barley.
00:59Not posting when he puts him out for a month when he tears his thigh working with him.
01:02You know what I mean? When he shouldn't have been.
01:04That is my problem with it all.
01:06That's my problem with it.
01:07You know the player well, Paul, having had him a shot at United when he looked like a player.
01:13So, he sustained an injury in a social media section, did you say?
01:18No, working with their own personal trainers.
01:21Yeah, but these personal trainers promote their own business,
01:24but they don't put it out on the injured players, do they?
01:26He's not said, oh, I've ruined Daniel Jebberson's start to the season at Preston.
01:29He's not advertising that, so like I said, I'll do it for him.
01:32Are you just going to say to the player, you know, for that?
01:36Yeah, I don't have it.
01:38It depends on stretching, recovery, it's all a big part of it.
01:42The funny thing is, and listen, I did it when I played, when I couldn't get back fit,
01:46and when I was a young lad, I went and saw a sports doctor, but we didn't have the resources.
01:50We've got good resources, and I'm not bothered going, I want, but if they signed a piece of paper
01:56saying they'd cover his wages if they injured him, they could go with him every day.
01:59If they signed a piece of paper saying, yeah, we've got insurance that covers this,
02:02or we'll get you a new striker, no problem, work with them as much as you want.
02:04But they're not, they have no, no accountability.
02:07And he's over for a month, did you say?
02:09A few weeks.
02:09A few weeks, because for you, it's a quiet issue for the staff in terms of the threat.
02:16And there's Mike, obviously, there's a difference there.
02:19There's a quick point from the news, and Dan.
02:22Yeah, we need him, we're small anyway, we've not got big numbers, so we need him, we need him fit.
02:27Yeah, and with the goal, I mean, as Mike somehow managed to position himself well,
02:33so even three defenders, and then I've faced him.
02:34He just ran, yeah, he just ran for the space, and Dan's pass is fantastic,
02:38and then the keeper gets caught in between, and Millies finishes first class.
02:42Is it good that Alfie's had three longs and he came last season after three, four years as well?
02:47Yeah, yeah, because he's been about a bit getting first-team minutes, 15-16.
02:52Yeah, but like I said, just saw, he's played different,
02:58he's been a deep-line midfielder getting on the ball, he's got good technique,
03:02he's been a box-to-box player, he played predominantly as a ten-fielder last season,
03:08and showed a lot of aggression against the ball, and a good understanding.
03:12But I think you can see on the ball, he's comfortable, so wherever I use him,
03:16he's really good, and he's got the hunger and the drive, like I said,
03:19without the ball to fit into what we want to do.
03:21Pottsy and Keefe, do you have an update on that?
03:23Keefe got injured against Bolton, if you remember, he was on the bench and warming up half-time,
03:30just felt his calf, so we scanned him, and he has got a little bit of damage there,
03:34so he's not trained since that, he's missed the last two weeks pre-season,
03:38he'll not be available this week.
03:41Pottsy, similar time, just felt something in training two weeks ago,
03:48so he's two weeks better off, but I would have thought he'll be another couple of weeks,
03:51he's off running again, and it's just one of those with Pottsy in particular,
03:56where it's the hamstring that he did, so we're not taking any chances, you know.
04:02Was Odell a tough decision to leave him out, you obviously invested in him?
04:04Yeah.
04:05Did you start his experience on the opening day you went before?
04:07Yeah, and like I said, listen, Jordan's done great for us,
04:12but the big one was how we want to play, how aggressive we want to be in the press,
04:16which weren't great first half, it takes a lot of voice communications from the outside player,
04:23yeah, like I said, with having Thierry just in front of him,
04:26I went with someone who could help Thierry out as well, so,
04:30but I've been, like I said, I'm really excited about working with Odell,
04:34it's our job to get him in the team, that's it, it's our job to get him in the team.
04:37Yeah, Thierry's going to need a bit of time, there's loads of buzz the next time around,
04:40he'll be young, he's playing this league for the first time.
04:43Yeah, yeah, and again, but yes, he's got, you could see moments in him today,
04:46definitely, I thought he looked a bit nervous, said that to him at half-time,
04:49just go and play, but he's, yeah, he is a great, great character, you'll get to know him,
04:55and I just want him to express himself on the pitch and he'll be fine, good moments.
04:59I said, I know there was a buzz about when he came in, and straight up thinking,
05:03yeah, if he was that player everyone's saying, he wouldn't be here, do you know what I mean?
05:06But we see a lot in him, we love his personality, we love how he approaches training, games,
05:16and we want to get more of those real top moments out of him.
