 Hi Gary, have you come through the game okay? Yeah, everyone was fine, a few bumps and bruises but yeah, we're all settled down now so yeah, don't foresee any real issues with the squad for tomorrow. Marcus Tavaneer, how close is he to a start now? Yeah, I mean, he's closer, he's had two decent sub-appearances so yeah, we'll see how he's feeling in the morning and hopefully we can get him in the starting 11 soon. Do you feel that it's safer to err on the side of caution because of his past, even though he could be such a key player for your running? Yeah, we have people at the club that are specialised in that area so of course I'll listen to the advice and speak to Tavaneer himself and find out how he's feeling and try and make a real good decision on it that everyone would love Tavaneer to have been available for 90 minutes in the last two games of course but it's also important that Tavaneer is available for the rest of the season so yeah, we need to handle it correctly but he's come for another good week so yeah, there's potential that he could play a big part at Leicester tomorrow. Are you excited for that prospect? His finishing could be a big difference, couldn't it? Yeah, there's a lot that he can bring that could be a difference, yeah. Of course the group has been doing okay already but he's a lovely addition to add to it. He's a great lad, he brings enthusiasm and buzz around the place as well as his qualities, athleticism so yeah, he'll be a big player for us of course and he's getting fitter by the day so he'll be back in full throttle in no time at all. We talked about the boost after the full-on result, to what extent has the wind been taken out of your sails by that defeat to Brighton? Yeah, no, it hasn't. Boys understand the reasons why and the performance was we caused Brighton a few problems. They're a very good side that are sort of knocking on a Champions League door. They haven't had many games recently where they've had that many chances against them and such a high XG against so we managed to cause Brighton some problems, did a couple of errors in their goals and the fact that we didn't manage to take our chances was disappointing of course but yeah, performance-wise it was, you can win Premier League matches performing how we did on Tuesday night. And Leicester, I know it's a bit of a cliche but is this a relegation six pointer as far as your concern? Yeah, I don't ever, I haven't really brought into the six-pointer thing until you get right near the end I guess where there's only a few clubs in it and you know that if you or somebody else and you can stop them winning as well as winning one yourself but yes it's a big game of course two clubs that are desperately fighting to survive in the Premier League so it's a big game for both clubs. Lads understand it, we've been involved in them before, been involved in a few already this season and we were involved in some last season as well towards the end of the promotion campaign that were real big ones and the lads handled them really well thinking of White Huddersfield and at home to Nine and Forest so some real big performances in in pressure situations so lads know what's expected. Is it fair they'd say it's when you can't afford to lose? We could lose tomorrow and stay up, definitely, obviously we don't want to lose tomorrow but yeah that is possible. Are you worried at all about bounce from Leicester following the sacking of Brendan Rodgers? Leicester have got really good players so yeah they could they perform well in a lot of the matches that I've seen, James Madison's obviously England international, Harvey Barnes fantastic talent, yeah they've caused teams some problems, scored four against Aston Villa and taught them not too long ago. We've obviously been on a bit of a tough run but Premier League is like that you only need to drop your levels a little bit and you can you can get punished so they were right in the game the other night against Aston Villa right in the game and we know the former Aston Villa were in so yeah it won't be an easy game at all so whether it was the old manager or a new one it'll definitely be a tough game for us. You mentioned the quality of the individuals they've got, are you surprised they are where they are this season? Yeah I think we spoke about this in the home game here, I didn't expect them to be down the bottom by the next time we played we faced them so yeah they've obviously had a tough season compared to where they've been recently but yeah they'll be fighting for their lives, scrapping for every point similar to ourselves so yeah it'll be a it'll be a hard fought contest I'm sure. Gary sorry about my voice first of all you said you're taking notice of the table when you're getting nearer the finish there's not in games to go to a lot of people that doesn't sound very many games that sounds like it's nearly the finish but I guess the other side is that's nearly a quarter of the season because it's so tight is there a need to look at the table a little bit earlier than you otherwise might want to? No I always have a yeah I always have an idea of where things are and on a Saturday and there's just a pure laser focus on us and what it needs to be so half-time scores and our other teams are getting on and what's happened right after the final whistle my focus is always purely on us and the lads it's not too later in the day on a Saturday that I start to find out what other results have been I'm sure with two or three to go if we're still in a relegation scrap at that point I'll be keen to find out what's going on a little bit sooner than I do now but at this moment still pure focus on us because it's 100% in our hands if we can we can go and win enough games then no matter what anyone else does we'll be absolutely fine obviously the away form of the numbers aren't what you'd like the last three away games have been all I guess completely different you beat Wolves you need to be Arsenal and then you lost at Villa what parts of all those performances do you need to come together to get something to lester yeah we need to be the best version of ourselves which we've shown quite a lot recently so as I said we've been we had a real tough run of fixtures six games on the trot against top 10 teams we've faced and we've picked up points in them in the ones that we haven't picked up points we've had a good go in and the same again tomorrow if we're a real good version of ourselves and we are full throttle front foot and well organized then I'm sure we can cause less to some problems as I'm sure they'll be they'll be thinking the same about us but yeah from our focus and what we need to be we can we can be the best version of ourself and go there and and have a real good game against Lester and cause them some issues and they've had issues at home they've lost the last four home which is obviously why they've changed their manager partly is that in your message to the players to say let's turn this ground against them early no I think a lot yeah my message into the players is always about us always about what we need to be so yeah there'll be a I mean it's different to some games that we've faced recently the most of the teams we played recently have been on really good run and Lester really opposite to that but that doesn't make him any less dangerous you know we've we've been on bad runs ourselves and you find a way to bounce back and fight back and put an end to it and Lester will be looking to do the same so I see them as really dangerous at the minute I think it's a it's obviously a dangerous fixture they're a they're a Premier League team that have been a Premier League team for a long time that are going through a tough spell that that doesn't mean they can't turn up on Saturday and put in a real good performance they definitely can so we'll be preparing for the best version of Lester and making sure that we're ready field buildings your top scorer you opted to use him in that the sort of more I guess withdrawal midfield roll against Brighton and what's the balancing act you face there in how best to use him because obviously he's a very key part of your press what forward roll yeah sort of an availability around him as well what players are available how long they can play he's so good in both positions for me I think he gives us a control when he plays lower as well he's nice on the ball and he brings some calmness to us but then you obviously lose a little bit of his goal threat so yeah it's always always a balancing act as to where you think he's best most likely to affect it obviously Joe Rothwell was done very very well as well but with three games in a week it was yeah a little bit can we can we freshen it up a little bit can we can we try and see if Phil can give us something lower down and yeah we'll see this weekend as to where we think he where we think he fits best dango and Hammond obviously both started the other night they've both been fasting for Ramadan and will be for another couple of weeks how difficult is that for them to train and perform at this level this month given how new they are to this intensity of the league as well yeah it's hard for me to know really because obviously I've never I've never been through anything like it so yeah I don't know they always I speak to them about it frequently and they they say they feel fine so yeah I mean they they still had some real big moments the other night the pair of them junior got into some fantastic positions obviously wasn't able to to convert the couple of real good chances that he had but got in some good positions dango always brings an energy and a pace and a willingness to running behind so yeah I mean it I would imagine it would be difficult more difficult than normal to perform at top level but yeah they seem to be having it fine they've looked good in training so yeah we obviously support them the best we can you saw with the the process the other night as well from the Premier League so yeah trying to give them the best support they can to perform at their best last couple briefly from me and you mentioned at the top the injuries everyone was okay but we saw Stannessy limp off the other night as he fit for tomorrow sorry yeah Marko so yeah it's like hamstring issue check again in the morning hoping it'd be okay yeah hopeful that it'd be okay and would you have any reservations about throwing your ear in from the start if you needed to yeah no Ilya Ilya's trained well for a while he's obviously his last competitive game was a long time ago so that's that's a consideration but yeah he's he's fit enough I think to play a real substantial part in it obviously that the more we can work with him and the quickly more quickly we can get him used to what we do and get him up to speed and the better he'll be but yeah he's in a decent spot physically last one just wanted to get a word from you on the women's game next week we saw the women's field less of a last night at 85 thousand nearly at Wembley won quite a bit as many here next weekend for the women's game but it does show another big step forward for the women's team next week to be able to play in the vitality yeah definitely I think that obviously that the second time they've played here and that maiden head coming down and yeah record crowd I think so far over 2000 tickets sold so yeah really yeah delighted that it's moving in that direction and yeah me and the boys will definitely show our support
