“That's what I do. I've done it all my career, even at 14 or 15 when people told me I wouldn't be a footballer at my school. I thrive on it.

“I see and hear negative comments about myself, it doesn't bother me. It's something I've been used to throughout my career.”

“But one thing I'll do is keep fighting and get the best out of the boys. We know we're not a million miles away, we know we're putting performances in in the league, now we need to start turning them into wins.”
