During the transfer window the media speculated that our best players were expected to leave, but we have managed to secure deals with two key players and that shows the commitment of the chairman and the board to the future potential of this club.

We're not in the habit of selling our best players, we also want to plan for the future and he's a big part of that.

I'm not going to pull any punches, I'm not surprised by this, I expected it. I told the players that all week. We deserve to be in this situation (5-0 on the season, and tied for first place with Joliet Catholic in the East Suburban Catholic Conference). We showed talent and focus both on defense and offense tonight.

We were rubbish for 44 minutes. The best thing that could happen to us was that we were booed off. I hoped and prayed that we would be otherwise we would have been kidding ourselves.

Patrick was top of our priority list for the winter transfer window.

Any [loan] deal would need to be concluded before January's transfer window closes but we want to make sure Dwight goes to Germany in the best possible condition. Sitting idle is not an option for him. But there has been no approach from Falkirk to date, or anybody else for that matter.
