Dominic Iorfa LIVE

The other guys signing definitely. Other key players is important. If they were leaving I’d be looking around thinking ‘woah’.

It;s reassuring and I’m seeing the players the gaffer has brought in. It’s all good. The main aim is to top it off with promotion this season.

DI on Plymouth reaction

It weighs heavy. It affects your whole mood on the weekend, a good performance in good spirits, a bad one it takes you to go home and you’re on the bus thinking about it.

You come into the new week and your focus leaves that game and it’s onto the next weekend.

We spoek about it and he made it clear it was unacceptable.

It’s a long way to go. We felt sorry for the fans last weekend. But the biggest thing was the performance, it was the manner of the way we lost.

Everyone appreciates the fans and it’s up to us to reward them this week with three points.

It’s been brilliant, every day training, those things you take for granted.

Being out for that six months, watching from the sidelines, I want to step off the pitch with no regrets every time.

When you’re injured you have a lot of time to think. For those first few months on crutches doing nothing, it can be a dark place. We had good friends and family around me and I got through it.

Now I’m back, I’m enjoying every moment.

Everyone’s aim and ambition is promotion. Were more than capable and that should be the aim. Automatic and to win the league.

Ultimately we need to take it game by game.

You have to look at teams like Sunderland. We had the season last year, but everyone wants us to be back playing higher. It’s important we do it last year. If we don’t it’s a failure.

We started off well, and we’re on the back of two defeats and we need to put that right.

It wasn’t good enough and that’s what we’ve said. It’s important to get back to winning ways and we have to win our home games.

We had a good week training and we’re looking forward to it.

DI on playing out from the back

There’ a lot of new faces. We got caught out on it last week but we’ve had success.

We want to do that, that’s how we play. There’s been a lot of good stuff and on another day we’ve made a lot of chances.

I enjoy playing out and the gaffer wants us to play that way. We work on it every day in training and it takes a little time.

It’s a wake-up call. For them it’s a big game, us coming down. Days like that can happen if we’re not on it. I hold my hands up again.

We need to move on and make sure it doesn’t happen again.

It’s a big responsibility to make sure we’re at it. It wasn;t good enough and we’ve a home game this weekend. We’re keen to put things right.

Dominic will be with us soon..

..at about 1pm. Keep it locked to this blog for all he says as he says it.
