"I know Efe Sodje has made a bit of an impact with the fans, and it's the same in the dressing room.  He's good in training and he's just enthusiastic.  He's done everything in the game; he's played in the world cup finals and played for plenty of good teams.  The biggest thing about him is that he wants to win and it doesn't matter who he is playing against, it doesn't matter how good they are - they will always know that they have been in a game, and that's why I wanted him."

"He played against Liam Dickinson on Saturday, and he knew after that game that he'd been in a physical battle - I wanted that.I wanted aggression and somebody that would do anything to stop the opponent from scoring."

"He's a loan player with experience and they are very hard to come by.  Every manager in the country is looking for somebody to come in at the back with experience and we are lucky to have him here.  I haven't got my bandana yet and I can't see me wearing that.  It's good because he brings something else to the club, not only is he a good footballer and a good competitor, but he just brings something else to the table."

"Andy Mangan has a future at Bury Football Club.  We have five strikers here and Andy hasn't played since he had the operation.  I had no intention of letting him go and he's certainly got a future here, but I did want him to play some games and if he scores four or five goals for Accrington, then he's coming straight back here.  He's gone out to play some games, get's fit and then comes back and competes."

"I've seen plenty of reserve games whilst I have been here, but not our reserves because they keep getting called off.  It's frustrating for the players that are on the fringe and not in the team.  They need games, but there's nothing you can do about it.  They do more training and wait for the next reserve game."

"I've heard that the performance at Darlington was bad earlier in the season.  That doesn't make a difference for Saturday, certainly not to me because I wasn't there.  I just look at us now with two wins and a draw.  We are on a pretty good run and unbeaten in three.  We played Wycombe who are in the top six, Stockport that are in the top seven and we have competed in both games and I don't see Darlington as anything different."

"Obviously they are a good side and they have been in the top six all season, but anybody can beat anybody.  Mansfield last week went to Darlington and won 2-1.  I think we are capable but at the same time, they do have some quality."

"We want three points, it's all about winning.  We need to keep going with what we have started.  It's been decent, but not everything in the garden is rosy and you're a fool if you think so.  There is still a long way to go for us to be the team that we want to be, but we have made a decent start and getting a result on Saturday would just help that."
