MATCHDAY QUOTES
“We don’t talk about the problem [Andy Lochhead not scoring for the fifteenth game since signing from Leicester].
“It is a situation that will sort itself out, and Andy is still making a valuable contribution to the team.
“He had a hand in both the goals we got against Swansea. One of them came from his head, and the other he helped set by holding on to the ball in a tight situation.”
Vic Crowe.
