FROM THE DUGOUT
'No-one in the league likes to play Norwich I feel. I can't remember one game this season where the opponent was by far the better side,' he said. 'Teams respect us and we want to bring that on the pitch at Nottingham.
'We believe in our strength and our possibilities. It is a tough place to go but you can say that a lot about the Championship. We went to a tough place like Derby and won points.
'We won't travel to Nottingham hoping not to lose by many goals.'

'I know it is tough. I need to analyse them. We are playing at home and I need to try to make the right call.
'The main thing is that I do not really care who I choose, because I also know that the player who I pick will do his best. And, if I need the other one to come on, he can come on from the bench trying to do his best.
'It is a pleasure for me to have this problem.'
