00:00Is Will Keane on track with his injury?

00:02Yeah, funny enough I was just speaking to him in the gym there, I'm doing a lot more hard work than he is, that's for sure.

00:07But yeah, no Keane's coming along well, he's hitting every marker that he's put down.

00:13He's probably a few days or a week ahead of where he should be.

00:18So I'd like to think in the next couple of weeks we'll be seeing him.

00:23And again, Millie's out there, thanks God, to the other day for the young boys there.

00:29He's training well and he's just getting ready to hopefully in three weeks, or three more games time, to be available for us.

00:38It'll be a big boost when that striking department gets bolstered, Reece's running himself into the ground for you.

00:43It certainly is, and I think his last couple of games, and even the night when he came on, I thought Millie's done really well.

00:51I know strikers can be confident players if they're not hitting the back of the net.

00:56He created a goal last week, he possibly could have done better with another chance, but he's getting himself right in the areas.

01:02And even the other night, Mads has put great ball in and he's just got ahead of the defender, good movement, and just put it by the post.

01:09But he's working really hard for the team, and as you say, we haven't been able to swap him much.

01:14The other night we managed to give him a little bit of a breather by playing Sam up top, who's played there before, so that's not new to Sam.

01:23But yeah, I think Emile's been really pleased with him, we were off late.

01:28It'd be just nice for him if he can start adding to his performances with goals.

01:34Is he one that needs an arm around the shoulder more?

01:37Again, he's a different type, he's nice, he's enjoying chats with Emile, he's focused.

01:43I've noticed on left or right foot, he can strike a ball and we've got to encourage him.

01:50When he gets in areas, he's a bit unselfish as well, he'll look to square it and pass it.

01:55Certainly if it were on my left foot, for example, I would be trying to pass it.

02:00But on his, he can rock it. Left or right, as I say, he's got two really strong feet.

02:06But no, he's working away well and we're pleased with him.
