Thomas-Asante on debut goals, overhead kicks and Corberan

“Things are really exciting now,” Brandon Thomas-Asante told Sky Sports. “The manager has a love for the game. His tactics, his analysing of the opposition and the understanding he has of his own players. He’s so detailed in everything and it really bodes well for everyone, especially the younger players who want to soak up information and add it to our games.

“For me as a striker, I’ve really taken heed of what he’s saying, with the intensity of running, different movements, linking up with team-mates and such. He’s really been able to master things that other people leave to happen themselves.”

More games on December 27!

And if you’ve still got a hankering for some EFL action after Boxing Day, there is a quadruple header of games on Tuesday, December 27.

A table-topping League Two clash between Leyton Orient and Stevenage (12.30pm kick-off) start things off from 12pm, before Bolton and Derby face off in League One at 3pm.

Then the Championship returns to centre stage as Reading meet Derby (5.15pm kick-off), before Championship leaders Burnley host Birmingham (8pm kick-off).
