BBM talking about the new goalkeeping coach, Craig Samson:
"We've finally made some progress and everything's in order, I think.
"We worked together before, but before that he was at Sunderland with Jack Ross.
"That was when I first became aware of him and since then I've obviously kept in touch and he's made great progress.
"He has a deeper understanding of the way that we want to play but also of what the opponents can do.
"So he'll add a real extra dimension to our preparation and game understanding of the opponents and ourselves.
"The focus, as you can imagine for us, was just to get a goalkeeping coach in the immediacy.
"But yeah, he has a really detailed skill set in terms of understanding the data-led approach to set pieces, so he can help us enormously there once he gets settled in."
