Joe Kinnear: "Yes, I think we can see light at the end of the tunnel.
"I'm an optimist.
"Once we get two or three players back fully fit, really fully fit, I think we'll be all right, I really do.

"You would think a club of this size would be doubled up in every position. We're not, we're miles away from it, miles."
