Dennis Cirkin has spoken about the mood in the dressing room after throwing away a 2-0 lead against Coventry, but says the Lads are determined to put things right after the international break. He also spoke about the unbelievable goal he scored which doubled our advantage in the first half. Finally, Dennis revealed he was playing with a minor injury but after struggling for game time last season he's determined to miss as few matches as possible.
LEARN FROM IT
“The mood isn’t going to be the best after being two up is it. But we have unity in this group, a togetherness where you have the captain speaking, the manager speaking and everyone is talking. It is frustrating that we didn’t win but everyone knows we can learn and turn mistakes into positives. I see us as a team to be up there at the end of the season with the quality for this league. We have shown that in the first 15 games of the season. It’s a long season and this international break we are heading into now will help us.”
IN THE ZONE
“It was one of those moments where you are in the zone, not really thinking about it, but as soon as I hit I knew it was in."
GAME OF TWO HALVES
“I was very confident we would go on from there. But the second half changed things a little. We have to learn and bounce back (against Millwall) that’s for sure. This season we have been better at seeing games out until this game. With the group we have this year, everyone will learn from it and use it in future I am sure."
STICK TOGETHER
“This comes after two draws and to go to QPR, where it is quite hostile, and then Preston as well is a positive. It’s not doom and gloom. We are still unbeaten (in this run). You can see the identity in the team, the togetherness, especially in the first half. There will always be ups and downs, but we are unbeaten. We know we have the value and quality in the team to take us to next level.”
HAND BANDAGED UP
“I think that’s a question you’ll have to ask the physio team. I had a bit of an issue with it from the QPR game. There are always little things going on but as a footballer, you’re never going to be 100% going into a game. That’s why we’re finding the best solution, to just keep me on the pitch and try to get as best as I can to 100 per cent.”
