What Managers Say

Colin Pascoe (Assistant Manager): "The FA Cup is a special trophy. We'll assess if everyone is fit, and pick a team that will go out to win the game. The youngsters have trained well and I'm sure they'll be ready if they're called upon, but we're looking for a good performance."

Lee Johnson: "I mean this in the nicest possible way - he's [Luis Suarez] like a dirty street rat. He's sharp, horrible, but that's all in admiration for him. He's a winner; he's someone with the immense desire to be better today than he was yesterday and you see that in his game."
