Press news in...

We are in position for Daniel Farke's pre Hull City press conference at Colney.

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

DF: We are pretty good, no new injuries. Everyone who was available for Swansea is available for tomorrow. Good news for Louis Thompson too who featured for the Under-23s last night.

DF: The players were desperate to play. For Philip Heise it was a good opportunity to let him play for 90 minutes and also for Felix Passlack to help him stay in his rhythm and I was pleased with his performance. It was also Michael McGovern's wish to have another game.

DF: It was good for Louis to have the feeling being back on the pitch eleven vs eleven. I won't lose him tomorrow, he could be a bit in my thoughts for the Rotherham game but I expect him to be fully in contention after the International Break.

DF: My feeling was they [Swansea City] were good in the topics that were important for this game and they found some solutions to bypass our pressing. It was a difficult game for us and we had to switch our tactical behaviour in the second half. It was a really good reaction and I was pleased we could handle it.

DF: This is the crunch time period of the season and in these moments you have to be really cool and calmed down and not lose your nerves. I trust my lads that we are able to do this and it's crucial to be successful at this point in the season.

DF: In the next weeks there will be some difficult periods but to go further on and stick to your plan but also to be flexible is important. The crucial topic will be fire in the heart but cool in the head.

DF: You have to not be too addicted to the result. You have to concentrate and think about the things we want to do. So we can't go into Hull just thinking we want a good result, we have to be focussed on what we have to do to get this.

DF: We just have to take care of what we can influence. As long as we focus on what we have to do and getting good results then each game day is your game day. We just have to concentrate on what we are doing and that is the message to the players.

DF: I think our first game [against Hull] was a good point for us. We know we face a side with many threats in the offense and I think they will be highly motivated to respond after a difficult game at Nottingham. They have good wingers and many options on the striker position, so we are respectful.

DF: They were all difficult games [Hull have faced recently]. This team has many strengths, especially for away games, and they are really good in the transition moments.

DF: We need our fans tomorrow. We are not the big favourite in this season and we play with some many young players. In this crucial point we need one unity with our home fans as there will be tricky periods. We need our fans to support us, give us confidence and especially in the moments we are struggling it's so important we stick together, have this support and their trust. Especially our young players, they need this atmosphere and unity.

DF: It shouldn't happen [incident involving Jack Grealish.] In football there is always emotion and it's normal that supporters support their own team and sometimes you don't know how to handle this situation, but the most important thing is the safety of all people in the stadium.
It's always disappointing and sad when this happens.
