00:00We'll start with the squad news, Brodie, any chance of him being involved yet?
00:02Not involved, but he's back training, he's only just getting into full training,
00:07he's been sort of doing bits and acts as a floater, just light bits, getting him integrated into the group.
00:12As much for his injury as well, but no, he's had a full week's training, but he doesn't need a games programme, obviously.
00:17So, is there anything organised as regards...
00:19Yeah, we're looking at the dates now, because we wanted to ensure that he came through his first full week.
00:25Obviously, it was interrupted from the international as well,
00:28but no, he's done well with that. He said he feels good and he's looking fit,
00:32so yeah, we'll introduce a games programme as soon as the medical and the physical scientists and myself all align.
00:42But it's very soon now, I think.
00:43Yeah, we kind of touched on it the other week as well, and maybe one player won't necessarily change everything in front of goal at the same time, can it?
00:51Well, I mean, we brought him here to offer something, that's obvious.
00:54I think he's hungry, I think he's got a desire, he's worked very hard to get fit.
00:58Youssef's making good progress as well.
01:00He's slightly behind, but he had his first full day with us, actually, today,
01:05and that's pleasing because he's worked very hard, very unfortunate injury.
01:09So, yeah, there's two different styles of centre-forwards and we'll see what they offer.
01:13But first things first, get him fully fit and get him out there playing.
01:16Obviously, the takeover's still to go through.
01:18What impact is that having on what you can do in January, be it bringing in players or letting players...
01:23Yeah, there's no use.
01:23So we're working to the current situation in the club, which is obviously being very, very sensible financially.
01:31And if the free-kicking group do get hands on the club and get it done in its totality,
01:37then things might change.
01:39But at the minute, we're just working with the guidelines that were there before.
01:42But with those players coming back, do you even need to bring anyone in in January?
01:45Well, the thing you've seen when you carry a lighter squad is if you get a few injuries, it dilutes very quickly.
01:51And I've spoken about it freely.
01:53On the one hand, some of the younger players get a feel of what it is quicker than maybe they were ready for, in a way,
02:00but it enhances their development.
02:02On the other hand, you lose that depth and that competitive edge for the sheer challenge of numbers.
02:07So I think if the right players and the right finance are available,
02:10then I think you're always looking in the market.
02:13How are you with some of the other players as well?
02:15I'm thinking Dwight McNeil, Jared Brantwaite...
02:18Dwight's come through it well, actually.
02:19He has a really good week training.
02:21Joe's trained today after settling things down,
02:24so we'll see how he responds overnight, but we're hopeful on that and should be OK.
02:30Seamus, Jimmy and Tim still a little bit further away?
02:33Yeah, Seamus, he's on the grass, but he's with the medical side,
02:35so he's just taking the first steps back.
02:38Jimmy's had good news from the specialist, although it's still...
02:41because obviously he's been out a while now, so he's going to have to start the training period again.
02:45It's a back and forth, you have to be careful in the initial spell.
02:49And Tim's is similar but different.
02:51The stress response in his foot is clearing up,
02:54so he can start semi-loading again now and making sure that he starts his progress back.
