FROM THE DUGOUT
'This time last season we were on a really, really good run and then perhaps an unlucky loss in the cup at Arsenal and it killed our momentum. It is not such a lesson for me as a coach because I have worked in this business since I was 18.
'Perhaps it is more the lads themselves, especially the ones who were playing in the Championship for the first time last season. To use each and every momentum to go further on and win points.
'To be rebellious against setbacks. Okay, if you have the feeling in a game you can't win it towards the end, then don't lose and take a point to keep the momentum.
'A painful experience always helps you in the future.'
Daniel Farke
'Norwich is a very, very good footballing team. They get the ball down and play, and have got some very good individual players. This is going to be a completely different game to the others.
'Birmingham were more direct, Bolton were more direct and Millwall were as well.
'When I look at the squad, and the bench we had on Wednesday night, it's very strong. We have got experienced players there chomping at the bit to play. We said all along that it's a squad game and on Saturday that's definitely the case.'
