Swapping the centre-backs
It was just a detail we thought could help our game. We said we were going to try it before the Newcastle game, because the players are versatile and they can give us different things in different positions.
We don’t know if it’s going to repeat this weekend, or moving forward, but the main thing is about improving the players individually, and the team, and that’s what we’ll always look to try and do.
Wilson working hard
I think he did really well against Newcastle. He had a tough job, up against two physical centre-halves, but he was a presence up there. We had to manage Callum, and he came off after around 60 minutes, but his experience will continue to be really important for us. He has a good record against Burnley (seven goals in 12 games), and if he can score on Saturday that would be amazing!
Potts catching the eye
I think he played really, really well [against Newcastle]. He was balanced, his actions were accurate, and he did what the team needed in that moment.
But, it’s only one game. He played many games in the Championship and in League One, which helped make Freddie. He’s a really good option for us, but he’s started one game, and we want to help him improve, like all the players. He’s got so much talent, so we’re looking forward to seeing what he can do.
It’s the same for all the team. We all made a little step on Sunday, but it’s in the past now. Newcastle is finished, and now we’re all solely focused on Burnley on Saturday.
Ready for Burnley battle
It’s going to be a totally different match on Saturday, against a totally different team full of good players. We’ve been watching how good Burnley have been, and we’re expecting a really tough game.
I have huge respect for Scott [Parker]. We’ve known each other for a long time now, and he’s done well at different clubs and managed abroad. He’s someone I really admire.
The fans gave us a lot against Newcastle, so we have to give them something again so they can keep giving us more. It was beautiful on Sunday, but we will need the supporters again.
Taking one step at a time
The table isn’t a reference for us at the moment. We know we’re in a bad position, but we’re focused on improving our game. If we improve first individually, this will be reflected by the team and then we can think about the table. The priority at the moment is on competing, and getting results.
