More from Ketts on Dr Kish:
Johann Berg Gudmundsson held a press conference - mainly for the benefit of Icelandic journalists - on Tuesday.
Gudmundsson penned a lucrative new four year deal last summer but was asked about his future by the Newsshopper:
"We are just going to finish the last game and then concentrate on the Euros and see what happens after that.
"I don’t want to be concentrating too much into the future. I’m just going to look forward to the Euros right now."
"On a personal level I just want to play as well as I can," said Gudmundsson.
There will be a huge turnover of players at The Valley in the summer, and Gudmundsson will be coveted by many clubs.

I don't usually like it when players run away from a relegation. My thinking is that they got the club into that mess, they should have the honour and the decency to stick around and put things right (a quaint view, I realise). In this case though, I don't blame him. My personal advice to each end every player at our club would be to get out of the madhouse at the earliest opportunity.
Right Championship sides, we'll start the bidding on this flair goal scoring player with three years left on his contract, at £2m.
Come on Villa, Norwich, Sunderland/Newcastle - this is just the kind of player with Championship experience that you need to push straight back up.
He's not a replacement for Mahrez though for Leicester if Mahrez goes to warm the bench in Spain.
He might not have been in blistering form every game, but he has been carrying knocks and injuries a lot more than people are recognising. Igor has been getting off the injury excuses with our fans for a long time, but strangely the same leeway wasn't offered to Johann at points this year.
Quality player who deserves lower prem rather than upper one
Good luck JBG
In games where he is given the flexibility to move across more centrally and even over to the left knowing cover will be there, he is more effective. Staying right and cutting in only when he gets the ball limits him and has been defended against this season.
Yeah he isn't known for his work rate and tackling but he was a big step up on all the wide players we've had for a while. Shame we couldn't bring Bulot back, having two players of their quality on each wing made us much more of a threat going forward. That in turn also take pressure off the defence as we keep the ball and score goals.
Cheerio JBG good luck in the Euros it ain't been that emotional
Granted I've been critical of some of his displays this season but yikes these are testing times, not sure how much of my eye would have stayed on the ball with all the tinpot madness and cockshanigans happening all around me.......
