Press news in...

👋 We're in at Colney to hear from Kenny McLean and Philippe Clement ahead of the Derby.
------------------------------------------------------------

PC on Kellen Fisher: "I will give you the exclusives. Kellen and Ruairi (McConville) have been in training this week, so are available."

PC on Millwall: "I'm proud of the performance. I told you, I thought it was our best performance after the game. These last 25 games, we are top of the league, with the team we play against tomorrow."

PC on ITFC: "All the players and staff want to give back to our fans tomorrow, as they've given lots to us."

PC on Ipswich: "There's a really good mood in the camp, and they are working hard. They also have some fun together, with practical jokes between them. But when they need to switch on in meetings or training, they do. There's a perfect balance."

PC on Ipswich: "We live almost in the building here, and a lot of people have worked here for many years, their heart is with the club. I heard some stories about kit man Pete that I didn't know."

PC on his record in derbies: "A lot of times yes, in moments not. Games are decided in small margins. It's about the performance, which doesn't always guarantee the result. But we remain focused on performance."

PC on Ipswich: "All the players know (what it means), they will hear when they go around the City. I've not heard personally, as I haven't had time to go in the City this week. But my wife has heard and told me."

PC on Ipswich: "For them it's a must win. Every point is important for them. Direct promotion is key over the play-offs."

PC on Nunez: "It's no factor for me. I don't know him or the circumstances. I'm not busy with that. I am busy just with the team."

PC on Ipswich away record: "Maybe you need to ask that question on the other side. Stats are important, but it's never a guarantee."

PC: "Yeah, the players can do it. We are 100% sure. The players need to do it on the pitch, but they know what to do. Then you need to grab the moment."

PC: "I have a good feeling around it. Like I did when I stepped into the building."

PC: "The players want to get a result as it's a derby. But we want to get a result in every game, that's the mindset - not just because it's a derby.

PC on Ipswich: "The passion is really nice to feel. I hear the playlist from Carrow Road in the canteen. They were dancing to the music at 8am in the morning. I feel a lot of people here with a big heart for the club, and that's the same for the players.

*Now over to Kenny*

Kenny on Millwall win and Clement's assessment best under him: 'Lot of good aspects. We conceded a poor goal but we showed a real positive reaction and that resilience.'

Kenny on Clement factor: 'We have improved weekly under him. We want to get better as a team. Every time we take the pitch at Carrow Road it is an opportunity to show that. We want to meet those expectations tomorrow.'

Kenny on his positional switch at Milwall: "It felt pretty comfortable. I understand the game pretty well now and what the manager wants. I will play where I am asked for this football club. But even at the young age of 34 there was some excitement for me'

Kenny on ITFC prep: "It has stayed the same this week. We want to build on good habits. But if we turn up and do what we have been doing we'll give ourselves a good chance,'

Kenny on ITFC away defeat: "We don't want to live in the past. But we can use that game as fuel. We feel ready. We feel we are in a good place. What happened earlier in the season for me was tough to take. Disappointment is something you can use."

Kenny on derby newcomers in the NCFC squad: "The lads who came in Jan have already seen what this club means in terms of the support. How they pack out away ends. So they know how big this is."

Kenny on fan power: "I know our fans are going to be incredible at the start of the game. We need to feed off that. It will be electric atmosphere."

Kenny on Nunez factor: "I don't think the reception will be too good for him. But I won't focus on that. It is for their manager who he chooses to play."
