“I thought he was excellent when he came on. He’s a bit of an unsung hero at times.

“He sometimes gets left out for no particular reason, but then comes on and runs right till the end.

“So, we’re going to need that, not just in this game, but through the season. They’ll get a few days off, but we’ll be buzzing to go again.”
