I was right behind it and it was a terrific strike, but it was still a disappointing goal to give away.

I was delighted with Joe. Physically he is a real presence as a centre-forward. His touch is good and he wins headers. It was a shame we couldn't provide a platform for him to win the game for us.

It is going to go to the last game of the season.

I'll insist he goes to Watford, or on loan somewhere else. He'll not be allowed to go to Watford on loan.

In a sense I do feel very privileged. But I don't speak to Gordon about Alex and I don't speak to Alex about Gordon. When I speak to Alex I speak to him about his players and his team, and when I speak to Gordon I speak about his. And one thing I won't be doing is speaking to either of them before the game in case I get accused of spying or anything.

Throughout the transfer window we tried to bring several players to the club to do that job for us.
