What they Said

โ€œWe donโ€™t talk about the problem [Andy Lochhead not scoring for the fifteenth game since signing from Leicester].

โ€œIt is a situation that will sort itself out, and Andy is still making a valuable contribution to the team.

โ€œHe 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.โ€

Vic Crowe.
