Is Frocky a doubtful, do you think?
00:03
Yeah, he's a doubt, so we'll have to see how he is.
00:07
There's a chance of someone else, I guess. Sam Greenwood's been on the bench a bit more recently.
00:11
Mads has done well. For me, I spoke to him a lot about where we think he's at his best
00:17
and what he needs to do to produce that really consistently.
00:22
I felt in those two games, he did perform that way and he was consistent again.
00:29
I think that's something that both myself and Mads can be certain will help him.
00:35
Yeah, but like I said, because of the minutes, because of carrying bits we didn't start the other day
00:42
and hopefully they'll be fine.
00:44
If not, then like I say, it's Sam and we'll try and get Sam back to the level he was showing early on as well.
00:50
Do you know what I mean?
00:51
Because again, I've used Sam in different positions and because of how he is as a lad
00:56
and the personality, he'll do anything for the team, anything to play, anything to win.
01:00
And we've used him in midfield a lot, a little bit deeper.
01:02
But undoubtedly, he's better higher up the pitch and in the middle of the pitch.
01:06
So, it'll be good for him. As I say, Keno's back now.
01:09
So yeah, if everyone's fit and available, we've got really good options.
01:13
Do you think Sam's workload might have taken its toll a little bit in terms of performance or not?
01:18
You mentioned getting back to the levels.
01:20
Yeah, I just think he was one who probably played the most out of everyone early on in the season
01:25
and using him down the middle up top, tucked him off the side as one of the 10s.
01:29
Then, I've got to say, looting away as one of three midfielders when we were really short.
01:34
And he doesn't hold back. His physicals are always right up there.
01:37
So yeah, we know what he gives and it's anything to play and then it's anything to win.
01:42
But at the same time, we want him and we need him at the top end of the pitch.
01:50
Creating chances, taking chances and helping us win games.
01:55
What did Story do? I don't think it was ever asked.
01:57
His ankle, yeah. You could see it on the video, slow motion.
02:00
He's turned his ankle. It doesn't look pretty.
02:02
But yeah, they're happy with how he's progressing.
02:05
But he's nowhere near close.
02:07
Him and Wightman then just cracking on with rehab.
02:09
Yeah, Ben's closer. Ben's closer than Jordan.
02:12
I've seen Ben running today on the grass.
02:14
So, he's progressing well and I think they're trying to hold him back
02:17
because he's feeling really good about it.
02:19
But they're just aware it takes a certain amount of time to heal anyway.
02:23
So, I think at the minute they're holding Ben back.
