"I love working for the club and feel fortunate to be in the position I am but my future is almost irrelevant right now. It’s about getting some momentum and that winning feeling back.
“[The current situation] gives the players clarity, they know no-one is going to be coming in with ten days to go, they can get their heads around it and quickly, which is good.

The 33-year-old has repeatedly skirted questions about his own managerial aspirations but conceded that his first year of coaching has been eventful.
“It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster season,” he agreed.
“It’s been challenging and I’ve had to learn a lot, and quickly, which selfishly has been good.
“I wouldn’t say it’s been overly enjoyable as it’s never nice when people lose their jobs.”

“It’s a difficult place to go, as we’ve experienced already this season. They cause a lot of problems and we’ll need to be at the top of our game to win,” he said.
“It’s an opportunity to move three points ahead of them and that’s all the incentive we need."
