What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œThatโ€™s a tremendous psychological factor.

โ€œAnother booking and I will be up before an FA Disciplinary Committee, so thereโ€™s always the fear of suspension.

โ€œIt has affected my game a little - itโ€™s bound to.

โ€œSometimes I pull back just that little bit or take the tiniest amount of edge offa tackle.

โ€œBut Iโ€™m not particularly worried about this latest spell [one goal in his last nine games].

โ€œGoal scoring is not the greater part of my game, but, as a centre forward, Iโ€™m expected to knock in a few.

โ€œSeventy per cent of my game is taking the knocks and laying the ball off - making chances for others.โ€

Andy Lochhead.
