Jamie Smith press conference LIVE: Stand-in boss speaks ahead of do-or-die Derby date

There are no fresh worries

Joost I wouldn’t have thought so, but Chey, Mass and Mo possibly.

Massimo probably won’t start, he’s been out a long time, but it’s good to have him back in the squad.

You can’t rush them back and put more pressure on the injury. We have to take it day by day.

He’s a lot better and he’s been in and around at the training ground. It’s been good to have him around.

We’re going to see how he is for tomorrow. We need to see how he reacts, but fingers crossed he’ll be there.

Good afternoon, Wednesdayites!

There’s a big game coming. Nervous?
