Adkins is here with some early injury news Nouha Dicko and Kingsley won’t be ready for this weekend. Kingsley’s isn’t a concern. It’s very unfortunate but from my point of view we have a similar squad to the one at Birmingham. We have a lot of players coming up before the Christmas period and we need all the players right. Evandro isn’t in full training. James Weir has joined in a little bit of training this week, which is excellent. Update on a few of the internationals Jackson has joined in today and Kamil captained his country so he has a big smile on his face. Henriksen’s wife gave birth to another baby which is great. Irvine is used to the flying. He’s an energetic guy and he will be involved at the weekend. Adkins on Dawson - and Lichaj's return Michael Dawson was excellent. I wanted to keep him. Real good captain and leader and he was very important to making sure we stayed in this division. I saw all his leadership qualities. I have nothing but good words to say about Michael. Things go on, he’s doing well at Nottingham Forest and I have a lot of time for him as a man. He’s a top professional and he was exceptional here. Eric Lichaj won’t have a point to prove. He’s an ultimate professional and does all the right things. January's coming up quickly - transfer update We’ve sat down with Lee Darnbrough. We’ve spoken and things will happen in January, we’ll just have to see what goes and happens. We need to be in a situation where we can strengthen every window and avoid the situation where you’re signing 10-12 players. Likewise, what pool of talent can you afford to look at. Finances dictate a lot. There’s a lot of speculation about where the club is going in the future. Who knows? We’re just trying to be as prepared as we can be. We’re putting performances in. We’ve picking up points and we need to keep that momentum going. Uncertainty over the sale of the club not helping? It’s tough. The uncertainty, you want to have clarity. We’re preparing the best we can for situations that might arise. It’s who is available and how can you strengthen. There’ll be mass speculation again all the way through. Every day will be about transfers or takeovers. I’ve spoken to the players we focus on our job. For me the big focus is on our squad. No exits wanted by the Tigers club in January Whatever club you’re at, you’re looking at evolution. The next 16-year-old or 18-year-old. It’s a moving situation that happens all the time. Anything can happen in the window. We’re not looking for anybody to go. There’s a spirit and togetherness a camaraderie. The Ashley Fletcher situation finished at that moment in time. Who knows what will happen? We’ve got a good a ten weeks of speculation haven’t we? Forest will be a tough test Nottingham Forest are tough. We know it will be challenging but we’ll focus on us. Aitor’s are defensively minded and they don’t concede many. But we’re creating chances, our last game we scored three away from home. The players are working hard but we are looking forward to the run ahead. They are very solid and have a threat throughout the team but we’re doing what we’re doing.
Well yeah, but I just mean it comes from an official club source, rather than someone on social media.
It's going to be the same starting eleven as Brum as long as there are no last-minute injury issues. Hoping for the same result as when Karnaka was with Boro, 3-0 to us, a great game that was.
