Romaine Sawyers fitness update

The midfielder spoke to the Bluebird programme, saying: "I feel good. We ended up playing quite a few games whilst I was out there (at the Gold Cup).

"Six games in a month is like a replica of the Championship season, so I haven't really had much time off. All together I got about three weeks off, so it's not like I've lost a lot of fitness, and obviously I've had a lot of match practice, so it's made it easier for me to cope.

"I think at this age and at this stage in my career, pre-season is quite straightforward. The boys have said they've got a lot of work in and have played a lot of games.

"We've had quite a lot of new players in, like we did last season, so it's good to build chemistry. They've all had a lot of minutes and time to prepare for games and build relationships."

I thought he was excellent tonight.
Everything went through him and he put a shift in.

agree with this, he was quality tonight, dropping deep to get the ball, pressing the midfield, very vocal, did a really good job
