Hello and welcome to our Thursday evening edition of The Valiant for April 4.

A bumper edition includes an interview with chief executive Matt Hancock as we look at issues off the pitch and the club’s plans following the departure of director of football David Flitcroft last month.

Then turning to matters on the pitch, there are also talking points and injury news from this afternoon’s press conference with manager Darren Moore.

We’ve also got a report on Saturday’s opponents Wigan, your views, a Wigan ticket sales update, a look at the relegation battle, a trip though the archives, our fan-in-focus feature and plenty more.
