📰 Dean Smith's press conference ahead of our trip to Burnley is coming up at 9am.
------------------------------------------------------------

DS: "A few fitness concerns. We're going to assess a few people today. Isaac and Dimi's first starts for a while, other knocks and bruises as well."

DS: "Sam McCallum has returned to training, he could be involved tomorrow if he impresses today, he has ticked all the boxes in terms of the performance team's assessment."

DS: "Watching the game back, there's a few occasions where we had an overload - 3v2, 5v4 and it was the final ball that let us down."

DS: (Concerns about dropping out of top 6) 'Not at all. I didn't believe we would go 20 points clear when we won those games on the bounce. We have played a lot of games without a left back and defensive midfielder.'

DS: "We've no entitlement or right to be towards the top of the division. That has to come through hard work."

DS: "That (the table) can change within four days in the Championship. We have five games until the World Cup break so there's plenty of points for us to play for."

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

That concludes today’s press conference.
