Transfer window
The first question was whether transfer deadline day had left Carrick feeling “a little light at left-back”.
Carrick replied:”W went into the window wanting to come out stronger. from the group that we had last season, and we’ve definitely added to that. I think we’ve done a lot of good work in that respect and the situation is what it is in terms of finances and what we can work with and what we’re trying to get the most of.”
“Certainly the players that we’ve brought into the group, I’m delighted with, absolutely delighted with, and I think we’ve done some really good business there, and for the quality and the level of player that we’ve got, I’m really, really happy with that. You can always look at it and there’s other things you can do or could have done, possibly could have done. Some things come available, some don’t. That’s just part of evolving the group and trying to push all the time. And we obviously had certain things that we needed to fill and try and improve the group. And I think largely, we’re in a good place.”

“We’ve got pretty good balance within the whole squad. Dynamics, strengths, kind of what we might need in certain games. So we’ve got players that are flexible as well throughout the whole team that can play in different positions as and when and if we need it. So I think as you go through a season, you always need that. So yeah, largely pretty happy.”
The embargoed section of the press conference will be released at 10.30pm on Saturday and will be available here shortly afterward.
