Alex Neil looked towards Sunderland's must-win game against MK Dons, who present a very tough challenge...
PRESSURE
“I think there is pressure on every game at Sunderland, and is a must win if you like. I think that’s what the fans and the club demand."
SATURDAY
“Equally what we’ll do is try to perform at our best and there has been a lot of work put in this week. I just hope that will be reflected on Saturday when we play."
GOOD SIDE
“That is easier said than done, MK Dons are a good side and have been working in the same manner since the start of the season."
METHODS
“They are settled in their methods, whereas a lot of our methods may be relatively new to a lot of our players. That at the moment is something that doesn’t sit easy with me because the best feeling as a manager is going into each game understanding and knowing what you are going to get. Unfortunately at this moment in time we are not in that position because we haven’t worked with the players for long enough."
PREPARED
“What we do have is we have good players, and I’m hoping that all the information, and what we’ve replicated in training, we can take into the game.”
