Press news in...

Daniel Farke is about to speak to the media ahead of tomorrow's game at Barnsley. #ncfc

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

DF: "First of all, congratulations to Jamal Lewis. It's brilliant news for him and well-deserved. He's a brilliant lad." #ncfc
DF: "Jamal is extraordinary young player and I'm really happy for him. He's totally happy and it's great for him." #ncfc
DF: "We have to go this way, to develop our own starlets. It's proof it can work." #ncfc
DF: "Grant Hanley has been crucial for our defensive behaviour. He's been outstanding and improved his game a lot." #ncfc
DF: "It's well-deserved that he returns to the Scotland squad. He will have many years with the national team." #ncfc
DF: "Moritz Leitner is injured. He over-stretched his leg and has blood in his hamstring muscle. The first diagnosis is four weeks." #ncfc
DF: "We have to be careful with Alex Tettey as it's a third game in seven days. He's not 100 per cent comfortable so won't train with us today." #ncfc
DF: "Harrison Reed is ill. He will travel with us and we hope he will perhaps be available, but it's doubtful." #ncfc
DF: "I hope Christoph Zimmermann is available. We will see. It's doubtful he will return." #ncfc
DF: "We have to do without Nelson Oliveira. He has a calf problem, and the first diagnosis is two weeks." #ncfc
DF: "We will find some players who can play this game. There are no gifts but some players will get a chance." #ncfc
DF: "Marcus Edwards is still not where we want him with his attitude against the ball. He is improving." #ncfc
DF: "This moment is not the right one to bring such a player in. We have to focus more on our defensive behaviour." #ncfc

DF: "On Saturday, we had a bad day in individual terms. There were poor individual performances." #ncfc
DF: "Sean Raggett will travel with us. It's important to have another defensive option." #ncfc
DF: "When you're in a relegation battle, you have to win home games. Barnsley will be desperate to win." #ncfc
DF: "They will have a will to fight and aggressiveness. We have to be there with much better defensive behaviour." #ncfc
DF: "I was not happy at all with our first 35 minutes against Hull. There were many mistakes. We analysed that." #ncfc
DF: "It was important to be honest with the players, to speak about the mistakes and be self-critical." #ncfc
DF: "I have trust in my players that we will be there with much better behaviour tomorrow." #ncfc
