One to really look forward to. Last one was the best one so far! Great atmos, fanbases passionate. Delighted to have broken the record which stood to for too long. We know it's going to be tough, but fantastic opportunity.
Ending 20-year wait for win at Carrow Road and 23 for double would be great. Don't take it lightly, will be tough. | | | |

Need to make the players aware of it. Make players aware of what crowd, pitch etc is like for every game. Similarities with the game there two years ago. Know they're going to be incredibly motivated to beat us. Atmosphere there last time we were there. But you want games like this in your career. If you can get results on days like that, then they're the ones you remember. | | | |

Nunez, important players, good contribution, missed him when out. Have to be careful with him in the remainder of the season. Loved having him here.
Extra conversations with him? I don't think so, it's so obvious to say when you make a move like that, you're not going to be popular with the club you leave. As I said at the time, he came over from Chile to make the best of his career over here, aiming for PL and felt ITFC was the step he wanted to take. Give him credit for that. Has made a good fist of it so far. We know he's not going to get a warm welcome but few better temperment-wise, no concerns about him. | | | |

Who under more pressure? I don't really think about it, could come up with an answer to say they are, we were in League One when I took over, they were in the PL. They could flip that. When you have a derby, you know how much it means to fans even if we weren't going for promotion. Really it's extra motivation, concentrate on ourselves, take on what it means to people but realise it's three points, it's about delivering performance, which is where we put our focus, not perception of us or them. Great fixture, a lot for us to gain. | | | |

Norwich, in some ways different in some ways not. Manager has come in and done well, but they weren't a terrible team at the start of the season, lost a lot of tight games on fine margins. Not like they were a bad team. Doing some things well, but a lot that's the same from when we played them in October. A lot of players signed in the summer now settled. They're a really good side, but didn't think they were particularly poor and had to work to beat them before. | | | |

Doing a lot of the same things from two years ago. Sticking to certain principles over the season, we're very much a team that focuses on ourselves, not other teams, league tables, concentrate on next game and try and deliver a performance. That's how we carry ourselves right through the season. And that's how you want to carry yourself when you get to a spell like now. Almost completely different group to the one we had two years ago. | | | |

Biggest challenge for us is the scheduling. Teams can throw everything at us whether they've nothing to play for, as per Birmingham on Monday. Games are all difficult and we're going to face all types. Coming round so often is the biggest challenge. | | | |

Difficult to extend the season for integrity reasons. Postponements re pitches, I've spoken about, FA Cup a bit different, two years ago Coventry were in similar situation to Southampton. That could be looked at, not fair on them or their opposition. International breaks have changed, which is good. People higher up than me looking at it, teams have crazy runs at the end of seasons and could be looked at. | | | |

Time to empty the tank and enjoy the rhythm of the matches. Privilege to be involved in. Looking forward to what's coming up. | | | |

Team will change from game to game, very few players who are going to play all final seven games. Know we're got to utilise the squad. | | | |

Always the case that you'd rather have points on the board rather than games in hand. We know we've got seven games, lots of reasons why they're all going to be tough. | | | |

Jaden, needed treatment in international break, long answer to me on Jens and is season not having gone to plan, but could play at the very top level, knee much better. | | | |

Everyone on Saturday needs to be ready for atmos, no exception for Marcelino.
Eye on reining him in if you win? No, will deal with what comes after. | | | |

God I hope we win on Saturday - if only to see the carnage caused by a non-reined-in Nunez. |  |
