“I’m happy, but I’m still not as I want to be. I want to be on more goals. I want to be on more assists and help the team to win games – make the difference. Obviously, it’s a team game. I can’t do everything by myself, so we’re helping each other out. But yes, I’m happy with how it’s going so far for me, personally. We’re creating chances, but now it’s about winning games,” says Iliman Ndiaye. [EFC]

The team is looking in good shape ahead of this weekend’s match against Crystal Palace.

“I’ve been taking the time to come back stronger, so that when I do come back, I can make an impact. You’ve got to have full belief in your own ability, and I think after being out for such a long time – 14 or 15 weeks – it’s obviously going to be difficult getting back up to speed, but you’ve got to believe in yourself, and I do. I believe that when I get the chance to get back in the team, I’ll make an impact and help the team out,” says Jarrad Branthwaite. [EFC]

Plenty of action from all over the globe today!
