Spurs will be looking to win their third successive game in seven days across all competitions when they travel to the Amex Stadium on Saturday afternoon. After losing both home and away meetings in the top flight last season, Tottenham will surely be out for revenge.
Frank opened his conference with an update on striker Dominic Solanke, who is slowly returning to the first team.
“The positive thing is he's back on the grass," said Frank. "He's progressing slowly, but he's progressing. Too early for tomorrow and too early for Doncaster.”
Praise for Romero
He next had a lot of praise for World Cup winner and key centre-back Romero, who he says has matured over the past few years as he continues to impress.
“I think he's a great character," the manager stated. "He loves his football. He's like a boy sometimes; he loves playing out there with the boys. He loves the game.
"When he trains, he's focused, he's got that ability. Even with set pieces it can be stop-start, but he's so focused.
“I rate him super highly. I agree that I think he's one of the best centre-backs in the world. It helps when you've won the World Cup, Copa America and Europa League.
"The best players, they are performing consistently week in, week out, year in, year out. I don't know Cuti that well yet, but I've watched him for years. I see a more mature player, I'm not saying the last three months but for longer. He's aggressive when he needs to be and cool and composed when he needs to be.”
Goals for the season
Finally, questions then turned to the Premier League table, and Frank revealed that he is taking one game at a time rather than looking at the bigger picture this early in the season.
"April. Let's put it that way," he said in regard to when he'll start thinking about the table.
"I'm focused on us and our performances and what we can do.
"For the fans, they should dream and hope. That's what football is all about. I also dream and hope, but I'm a little closer to things, so I need to stay level-headed."
