We've mentioned so far Vic apparently was getting criticism, Brennan and now it is Timo's turn. It is part of being a professional footballer. You are always going to get criticism, you are always going to get scrutiny and it's how you react to it. For me what I want is to see them coming in every day and working hard at their game. If they are getting criticism and not performing and I see their attitude is not great, that is when I intervene because there is only one way to change that, but Timo's a professional. He comes in every day working hard and I have no doubt he can make an impact for us. The best way to do that is to focus on his football and keep doing the right things.

No, I wouldn't say that (Mikey Moore is not ready). Yeah, we'll see with Sonny. Obviously with Wilson out, we're kind of limited and with Richy out because Richy can play there as well. We are kind of limited but Timo and Mikey can certainly come into the frame. We have Deki Kulusevski who can play wide as well so we've got some options there, but firstly we'll see how Sonny is.

I think Erik's in a really tough job and he's done really well. He keeps mentioning he's won two trophies and that's not insignificant, everyone keeps telling me that's all I have to do, but it's not all you have to do, because when you do that there's always more. He's done a great job, a difficult job.

I've seen his growth, he's really positive, comes in and wants to work, comes in on his days off, he's a great example to everyone and I tought he could add somethnig to our leadership group and it was great for him to get the armband last night.
