Steve Bone

I think he's possibly available again soon.

So, you know, at the moment, there's still a chance for someone to come through and...

push themselves into that squad and into that team and prove themselves to be a bit of a goal scorer so there's an incentive for him but he might be a little way away from achieving that Does memory serve me correctly that Farrell was on the bench last time we fielded the team?

Yes I think he was he's been on the bench a couple of times hasn't he yeah but you know ideally we'd have had him

as cover for Conor Ogilvie ever since Ogilvie got injured, wouldn't we?

Coming in as an orthodox left-back.

We've coped quite well with Swanson and so on, covering that side.

But, yeah, again, Farrell, he's either going to need to do something quite soon or he'll be on his way at the end of the season.

If they're not, they're not doing their job, are they?

Correct.

Because if England had won 4-1 in Australia and not lost 4-1, you can be sure that particularly the cricket fans among the English players here would be rubbing it in the other way around.

They wouldn't waste any time in not doing so, would they?

Yeah, I mean, not all footballers are big cricket fans, are they?

I always think the ashes sort of transcends further than just cricket fans.

It's a big international event, isn't it?

I think there will have been a bit of ribbing going on.

I imagine Hayden Matthews has probably had his say on it.

Sorry, Barney the dog has just woken up.

Talk of cricket, I think that's what it is.

So, yeah, I'm sure there's been a bit of that.
