Press news in...

We have arrived at Colney Training Centre where Daniel Farke will be speaking to the media ahead of tomorrow night's game against Aston Villa.

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

DF: We have some key players on long-term injury like Grant Hanley and Kenny McLean, but no new injuries. We will make a late decision on some players like Onel Hernandez who was quite tired after 70 minutes.

DF: Also for Jordan Rhodes it was his first league game in several weeks, so we will make a late decision on him too. When you just have a few days to recover you have to look at this, but no new injuries.

DF: Grant Hanley's latest diagnosis is that it will be at least two or three weeks until he is back in training, probably after international break.

DF: It is always good to start with a good performance and a good result after the international break and we did both of them. It was well-deserved and it pleased me that we didn't get nervous after their goal in the opening minutes.

DF: The most impressive thing in my young players is the consistency in their performances. We totally trust them and we play them and they are there with good performances. It is always important that you have a good balance, our average age on the wings is 19 ish, but you need a group of key players to lead them and have experience and get a good balance.

DF: In the last season we finished mid table and sold some quality players, so normally you can be happy when you are not faced with a relegation battle. But to already have so many points and be where we are in the table is outstanding. It is extraordinary and I hope it can continue.

DF: Our points are pretty respectful at the moment and we are being noticed. We want to be successful and go further on and keep getting these results.

DF: I am full of respect for Dean Smith's work already from Brentford, and with John Terry as a experienced player beside him. I am pretty sure they will climb up the table, but hopefully they can wait a few games before they start.

DF: Football is a passionate game and full of emotion and close to the final whistle there is always emotion. Sometimes it happens that you are emotional. I don't want to judge José Mourinho as I wasn't in the stadium.

DF: Ben Marshall will not be in the Under-23s game tonight as he has been ill, so he won't travel and he will train with us today. Ivo Pinto will be a late decision for our starting line-up. I don't think it is important to rotate too much as we have only had the first game since international break. It is always a bit tricky though as we have quality options on the bench.

DF: Carlton Morris is doing some straight running and on the pitch looks pretty good. He is working on change of direction, and it is a bit difficult to predict when he can return to team training. I don't expect him to be back before Christmas. Sean Raggett is in long-term rehab, I can't judge exactly how long it will be.

DF: Todd Cantwell was more or less involved with each and every chance we had [against Forest] and played some key chances in the game. He wants to learn and improve each and every day and wants to work hard.

DF: It is always a bit tricky when you have such a massive club with such high ambitions and so many quality players. When a new face is coming in it always has an effect, especially in the short term and they have won the first game with a clean sheet and the mood is lifted. But we will be prepared.

DF: Each and every win we have to fight in the last second and you are a bit scared in those last minutes when the long balls are flying in. When you have to do this every week it can be pretty exhausting. There must be some games where it is an easy win, but it helps us keep our feet on the ground and know we have to be there each and every game and be pretty brave.
