Head coach Dean Smith will address the media ahead of Thursday's game at 9am this morning.
---------------------------------------------------------------

DS: "Only two players are out for tomorrow - Adam Idah and Andrew Omobamidele. Other than that, we've got a fully fit squad."

DS: "We should have taken the lead against Brentford (Rashica chance) and have had a penalty."

DS: “They won the first flick as we were passive. If we would have done our job we wouldn’t have conceded.”

DS: “If you look at the midfield area, box-to-box, I thought we were the better team.”

DS: "We have 33 points to play for, and we'll keep playing for every single one of them. It's a big game tomorrow, and a very tough game."

DS: (On the fans) “Stay with us, we need their backing.”

DS: “You’re always looking for something different. We need something that might surprise them.”

DS: (On fixture changes giving us an opportunity) "I’d rather just have the opportunity on Sunday. We need to learn from it (Brentford result).”

DS: "Lukas (Rupp) is back for tomorrow. He was fatigued for Brentford so didn't feature, but he's all good for tomorrow. Billy Gilmour is ineligible because we're playing against his parent club."

DS: (On Gilmour) “First on the training pitch and always the last off. He has a love for football and he’s a great lad. He’s learnt and become a better player (from being at Norwich).”

DS: "Max (Aarons) has reacted really well (to starting Saturday on the bench). Sam (Byram) earned the right to keep his place after his Liverpool performance. Max was the one who unfortunately missed out, but his training since has been really good."

DS: “He’s certainly a threat (Reece James) in the box, he set up two goals at Burnley.”

That concludes Dean Smith’s press conference at Colney.
