Dean Smith will be taking questions from the media at 9am today ahead of our match with Newcastle United tomorrow
------------------------------------------------------------------

DS: "I think it is very important (he stays). He is an important cog in the machine and we wanted to extend it and he is more than happy to stay as well."

DS: "Kenny (McLean) has got a small fracture in his toe, but he is training today and should be okay. Pierre (Lees-Melou) will be okay and Josh Sargent will be ready for Aston Villa. The only one out is Lukas (Rupp).

DS: "Their (Newcastle) recent record away has been good as their home record. We played really well against Burnley and got our supporters behind us and if we do that again we will give ourselves a chance."

DS: "We still believe there is a chance to stay in the league and we have got to give it all to stay in this league."

DS: "We have got a challenge in both full back positions now, which is good."

DS: He (Kieran Dowell) has shown in the last couple of games that he can step up. He has got the opportunity now which is good for him and he has got a goal and an assist in the last game."

DS: "We need goals from other areas of pitch. I don't think we have scored enough goals from set-pieces. We need to be better in the opposition box from set-pieces, especially. We have been working on getting into better areas where we can score goals."

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

That is it from today's press conference. Keep an eye on our social media channels today and tomorrow morning for all the pre-match build up. OTBC!
