He said, “I think they’ve done well… They needed to start well, and they have. They play a number of different systems and have made some really good singings. They’ve got some good players like they always have, and some real experience in the Championship, their away form has been really good and it’s been their strength in the season so far.

“Every manager that comes into a club wants to put their own stamp on it, and this is something I feel Garry Monk has done. He’s got the group that he wants and I think he’ll be very pleased with that, along with the performances they’ve put in.”

He also spoke about how much of a loss it will be not having fans there for the South Yorkshire Derby, saying, “It would be nice if we had a full-house helping the team in a big game, but sadly it isn’t to be. Playing Sheffield Wednesday at home is always great when we have a full-house, it’s disappointing but hopefully we can put a performance that makes the fans proud to support the club.”
