If David stays here he will not be involved in the game in France and he will be put into cotton wool for the week.

We have to try and get him fit and that is proving impossible without giving him some sort of break.

I'm delighted with him. Rob didn't train this week.

It's how we do over a season that counts, not four or five games. The results we have achieved so far have given us a platform, and that's all.

You can be critical about our finishing, but it just wouldn't seem to drop.

We are not sure what the problem is, or whether he will need surgery.

It's been difficult to get him fit and when he does get fit he tends to get a whack on it.

This time last year we'd have lost that game. I could never have changed the game with the substitutions. I'm building a decent side here and out of adversity we've gained something of a little triumph.

That is proving almost impossible without giving him some sort of break and I am hoping that they will agree.
