Ivan Toney does not lack confidence.
On a six-minute 'walk and talk' wander around Brentford's training ground with in-house media, he strolls through the players' canteen. Ben Mee looks up and asks Toney whether he is available for the weekend, sarcastically stating no-one could possibly know given the amount of interest the striker's return has generated.
"Big dog's back," says Toney, repeating it for emphasis.
Whatever he is feeling privately about his return to the game eight months after being banned by the Football Association for breaching gambling regulations, outwardly Toney's demeanour will be the same; confident, self-assured and light hearted.
