PRESSER:
"You could probably say that about every run. You get past that and then you go, ‘What about these ones? You should win these ones. What does that mean for you?’ like they‘re not easy questions to answer other than the Premier League will always throw up difficulties. People probably make as underdogs for both these games. We’re away against strong teams I get that. Let’s enjoy that and understand it and see what we can do. We've shown things already this season that we can maybe go against people's opinions of us."
"I’ve read a lot of opinions before the season we were going down. I was number one to be leaving. All those things. It's nothing better than proving people wrong. So these two games are probably a situation like that, but they're not the end of the story for us. We've got ourselves in a position now where if we take two hits or three hits, we have to come back stronger. Because we took a lot of hits last year when I came in here and before I was here. And the problem at that time was that we were on the floor when I came in in terms of confidence. So now you look at us and go, ‘OK can we be stronger than that mentally as a club? Everybody can we react?’ So these games are a good test for us."
