WHAT THE BOSS THINKS
On league position
“It’s nice to be top of the table, but it’s not over yet. There are still four games to go and they’re really tough games as well.
“We’ve just got to continue to work hard, continue to work the way we do every single day, stay together as a team and hopefully we can achieve something this season.”
On PL2 promotion push
“The lads have been very consistent, putting in good performances all season, and we’ve got to recapture that following a disappointing result against Derby in the Premier League Cup, rest up, recover, and get focused and ready for a real big push in the league.
“We need to take the momentum and the positives from the ending of last week’s game into Newcastle.”
