This might just be a copy and paste from another interview

Former West Brom winger Matt Phillips insists he is 'not on the decline' just yet - after returning to the Championship with newly promoted Oxford United.

A great signing - not only for what he brings on the pitch but what he can do off it. Players like Matt and Will Vaulks will add wisdom to the squad and will lay a marker down on how the rest of the team should behave (not that I have any complaints on that score last season) when the going gets tough. Cant imagine anyone downing tools (even if it happened which I doubt) with those two around.
Also, if anyone downed tools in front of Cameron Brannagan I would consider them brave or stupid.

Wonder if his injury is a metatarsal? Looked like studs to the top of his foot in the ITV highlights.

It didn’t look very bad, maybe a precaution?
But with the international break that shouldn’t be necessary.

Hope the club will put out an update of his and Joe Bennetts injuries soon.

The thing is though, Bennett is out "till January" which is in 4 months, so why say "no timeframe" with Phillips?
The challenge seemed innocuous enough as well.
All very puzzling.

He looked useful when he was on the pitch. Good luck to him for a speedy recovery, whatever the injury is.
Some rotten luck with injuries for us, it must be said. Shame as he looked as though he was going to be a real threat for us. Missing him, Cam, Bennett and probably McEachran as well is frustrating since that’s a huge portion of our experience and leadership gone.
No shortage of replacements but we’ll need a few to step forward as leaders in the next run of games.

Time for Will Vaulks to step up.

I was happy with the signing, but it’s fair to say, he has a point. Phillips was a risky signing given his age and recent injury history.

I knew exactly what he meant.
It was just another pointless, dickish post. And there have been many.
Yeah, certainly one of those we’ll be looking to, I’m sure. McEachran has been one of our most influential performers so that’s a huge miss. But this is where we’ll learn a lot about our squad and our longevity this season. It’s also why obsessing over who is where in the pecking order is a waste of time because this kind of thing is not unusual for any club.
