DW on the mood in the camp after Ipswich win:

It’s an environment that’s enjoyable to be in. We built this, especially the players, over recent months. Saturday, this game, the performance, and the result against your biggest rival. We wanted to deliver lots of passion and intensity.


DW once again mentions the size of the squad - The funny thing is, I am sure it was said that DW likes working with a smaller squad and he knew in January that the squad size was a problem and still, placheta and Forshaw were shipped out. He even says that the decided to go with a small squad and run the risk. Maybe he is hinting at new recruits in the Summer to BK.

It’s a challenge for everyone. You’ve seen our team sheet in recent weeks. We have such a small squad and are missing lots of players. The decision in the winter was to go in with a smaller squad, but the players have dealt with this well.

DW asked if there will be any changes from Saturday to keep it fresh, but he says that everyone is fit from Saturday, and we want to keep the momentum going, so it's an option to change it, but it's unlikely.

Rowe had his first training session with the first team today, and it looked good - option for the weekend, maybe, but he doesn't want to rush him back, and he will take lots of time before involving him again - could be key for the playoffs. Rowe is back to fitness way ahead of time. He will be included in u21 squad.

DW says the atmosphere at Carrow Rd on the weekend was on another planet, and he was blown away. He said it was amazing, and the atmosphere was due to our fans and not the Ipswich fans.

DW says that he and the players are super confident for tomorrow - he spoke with two of the experienced players today, and both said the same thing: 'We have to keep this going and not let our levels drop. Let's do this'. He is proud of that attitude.
 
I think we seem to have a poor result after a Derby Day win. Just hope they don't let their levels drop.

Wednesday were poor before the new boss came in.

The squad health - Doesn't help that DW will only throw on two of his nine subs

Good to see he is on his way back
