Lions promise patience

Millwall have vowed to take their time in finding the right successor to sacked manager Willie Donachie.
The Lions parted company with Donachie on Tuesday following the club's failure to continue the form that ensured an escape from relegation last season.
Donachie was dismissed just over 12 months into the job and with the club rooted to the foot of the League One table.
"We would like to get a permanent manager in place as soon as possible," executive deputy chairman Heather Rabbatts told the club's official website.
"But we must not be guilty of rushing into it."
Meanwhile, veteran defender Richard Shaw has ruled himself out the running for the job.
The 39-year-old had been the early frontrunner after being placed in caretaker charge along with Colin West.
"I was disappointed to see Willie go, although this is a results business, so I can understand why the board took the decision," he said.
"I am happy to do the job with Westy in the meantime, but I'm still enjoying playing at the moment and that's what I want to focus on."
