Mike Dodds doesn't believe a move for Yann M'Vila would have made much difference to #SAFC 's season but does admit it's an area that needs strengthening.

🗣️'In the same circumstances, we would only have been seeing him with four games to go.'

Mike Dodds hopes to see Dennis Cirkin feature for #SAFC before the end of the season but there's a caveat.

🗣️'“t the same time, I do think it’s important for these guys to go into the summer playing and knowing they’re in a good place.'

MD: “We’re not going there to draw the game. One thing I had in my head was to make us harder to play against. It took me a while but we’re starting to see the fruits of that.” #SAFC

MD: “I’d be very surprised if both started. [M’Vila and Maja] My gut is they won’t feature from the start but will from some point. Teams have to utilise their squads.” #SAFC

MD: “I think the whole starting XI would have an argument to start again. Out of possession they did what I asked of them. I think all of them, not just Tommy would have an argument playing again. I’ll do my research on the opposition and pick the most capable team to win.” #SAFC

Dodds adds that he’s frustrated in getting Patrick Roberts up to speed, but says he’s in a good place after honest conversations after the Blackburn game. Says that he needs a big summer and should be one of the first names on the teamsheet. #SAFC

MD: “We’ve had a good few days. Everyone is where we want them to be. Dennis is back training with the group, you don’t want to rush them back too early. The plan is to try and see him [before the end of the season] but whether that materialises, we’ll see.” #SAFC
