I have done more than enough talking and it's now time to be quiet. If I keep on saying the same things to the players they will switch off, so it will be a case of getting the head down and getting on with the hard work.

Dave Bowman is a great guy to have around the place because he's got tangerine blood running through his veins.

Barry played three games in eight days and is now in a bit of discomfort. But it's nothing too serious and I'd expect him to be in his usual place for the game on Saturday.

The X-ray we've already had done was encouraging, but he is, obviously, still feeling it. It might be a case of the scan showing him there is nothing seriously wrong and I am hoping for good news when he returns.

The real test now is for them to keep it going against Inverness, because we've definitely got the front players to punish anyone.

The boys are sick but we just have to get on with it.

I am still speaking to people in Spain and I am still hoping we can do a deal, but it has become a drawn-out process. The fact almost everyone here is heading for Finland in the next few hours has made it more difficult, but it might still be done.
