Press news in...

We're in position at Colney and awaiting the first-team boss where he will preview tomorrow's game with Preston...

------------------------------------------------------------

DF: Todd is much better and is available tomorrow. The same with Ivo. Today, they were able to train with us.

DF: With Ivo, we will make a late decision but he should be fine.

DF: Alex Tettey had some cramps after Saturday but everything is fine.

DF: After Jamal returned last season, James [Husband] wasn't used too much. He was really good against Barnsley but there were some games where he didn't do his best possible performance.

DF: Jamal is back now, Ivo can play at left-back, Max Aarons, Felix Passlack, Ben Marshall and Marco Stiepermann can play in the position also.
For James, we got the feeling it would a be good choice to go out on loan. Hopefully he can play several games, find a rhythm and get his self-confidence back.

DF: I don't want to comment on Timm [Klose] too much. It's always a good sign for us when someone is linked with a big club. It shows we have some quality but in general, we have no time to think about this. He's a leader and an unbelievable player for us.

DF: He's in my thoughts for tomorrow. He's an important player for us and played the whole of pre-season, most parts of our defence missed pre-season.

DF: Sometimes agents want to create rumours. I know many strikers in Europe but I'm totally pleased with my strikers.

DF: We were frustrated with the result. Just one point from three games is not what we wanted. It's fine margins.

DF: You have to handle the reality but we know it's fine margins. In this situation, we need to show our chests and stick together.

DF: We know we have conceded too many goals but lots of our defence missed pre-season. We got the feeling we are coming more and more into our rhythm.

DF: I didn't have the feeling after our first three games that there has been a big tactical problem. But we have to concede less goals to win more points.

DF: I'm not too concerned. We just have to focus a bit more on these details and fine margins. If we combine this with our offensive play, I'm sure we'll win more points.

DF: I'm full of respect for his [Alex Neil's] work. We had two really close games against them last year. They have one of the best defences in the whole league. It's important that we are clinical.

DF: We were struggling last season with the home games so everyone was thinking about how we could improve it. We've looked at warm-ups, songs pre-match... I'm responsible for many things but I'm not interested in the colour of the dressing room. I'm not a big believer in this. For me, it's not a topic at all.
