While Fabiański enjoyed his eighth successive game in-between the sticks at the Vitality Stadium, at the age of 39 years, seven months and 28 days, he is still looking for personal improvement in the weeks ahead, and is confident he can help his side climb up the Premier League ranks in the remainder of the festive period.
He added: “Whenever people ask me about my age, they usually start by saying sorry, but actually I’m going to give myself a tap on the back. I think it’s a credit to the way I’ve been consistent with my preparation over the years, how I’ve trained, and my mental approach to football in a demanding league.
“I’m just going to try to continue working like I always have done. I think there are always things I can do better, and as a team we continue to work on aspects of the game that the manager demands of us.
“We have had some bad results this season, but even though it’s taken longer than we would’ve liked, I think we’re getting there. If you look at our performances in the last couple of games, and in training, there are lots of good things, and we’ll be looking for another good result now against Brighton on Saturday.”
