"He trains how he plays. If I ask him to play right-back, if I ask him to play right-wing, he's just fantastic."
"That's what makes a top striker, I was lucky enough to play with many, many of them in my career and they had this mentality that if they missed one, they'd score the next one."
"We'll be in the hands of Chelsea now, they have to dictate and decide what happens, but I would have thought it would be a few weeks to get it back to 100 per cent."

Hartlepool United President Jeff Stelling will be back in town this month - but this time not to watch Pools.
Campbell Darcy has returned to Hartlepool United after the defender was recalled from his loan spell with National League North side Spennymoor Town.
"At my age I want to play games, so when I spoke to the club and the gaffer and they told me they want to fight for promotion, that sold the move for me."
"It felt really good to score, especially at home in front of the fans. It wasn't my finest goal, but I'll take it."

Hartlepool United head coach Lee Clark admitted it had been "a tough, tough few days" after Pools ended a dismal run of three successive defeats by edging past Woking on Saturday.
"It's been a disappointing three games, but everyone's focused on working towards winning on Saturday."

"They're not ruled out, we're hopeful. With them being kicks and twists, sometimes you can recover quicker. It's difficult to put a timescale on those sorts of things, especially with Corey's where he's taken a whack on the top of his foot."
"It's not always the answer, you can't keep just stockpiling players. We've got solutions inside the club, it's up to me, the staff and the players to get those solutions."

"It's a tough period, but when you face tough periods in football, you've got to come out, puff your chest out and be ready for the next challenge to get back on track."
"It's got to turn, it's got to. We've got four different strikers, four solutions, and we've got to start being more clinical."
Lee Clark was full of praise for the "outstanding" Charlie Thornton after the teenager impressed on his competitive Hartlepool United debut against Halifax Town in midweek.

"You've got to remember that they haven't even had a pre-season, so when they get back on the grass, it's going to be a long time before they get back to being in and around the first team."
"There's no more money, I should have probably made this clearer a couple of weeks ago. If I wanted to bring anybody else in, there's not the funds."
"It's down to us to roll our sleeves up now and show a bit of character, we need three points on Saturday."

"We've got to be ready to fight, I'm prepared to lead from the front and face-up to what's going to be coming at us. The players need to be prepared to do that as well."
Hartlepool United suffered a third successive defeat, going down 1-0 to Halifax Town on another difficult night in West Yorkshire.
Hartlepool United have made five changes ahead of Tuesday night's trip to Halifax Town.

"To have a positive result taken away from us like that was awful for the lads, I'm gutted for them. I couldn't be prouder of them, they couldn't have given us any more."
