Neil Warnock (after the Villa game yesterday):

“I think he's only going to get better. For me he's the find of my time here – he's probably saved me £1.5m I would imagine.

“I can't see me buying anybody better than that. I've just got to wrap him up in cotton wool and hope he doesn't get injured because the goals will come for him.

“He's created chances every game, he's been thwarted by good goalkeepers at times, but that will come. He's learning all the time and the energy he has, I don't think even Ken thought he could work as hard as that, but he's showing his commitment to the team and the lads appreciate it.”
