“I wouldn’t say we go unnoticed,” he said. “We keep winning games at home – that is the best reward we can possibly get.
“Whether
you need a striking force like Man City or a defence like we have had
recently, you have to mix them both together to find a perfect team. We
will see at the end of the season which one pays off.
“Our defensive record, especially at home has been
fantastic. We know if we keep clean sheets we have got every chance of
winning the game so that’s been the case. It is 11 games at home we have
kept 10 clean sheets. You can see it’s massive for us.
“We
realise if we want to win the Championship then we have to be solid
defensively and that is the most important thing. We know that clean
sheets gives you the best platform to go and win games. If we can keep a
few more until the end of the season then we can get our rewards.”
“It’s hard to tell, but we have been together for
much longer. We understand each other’s game now. We have had a far more
settled back four.
“Over the last couple of
seasons we had a little bit less luck with injuries. I never played with
the same back for more than two or games.
“Now
we play with the same back four. Sometimes we rotate the full-backs, but
in general we stay with the same defence. It’s a very good
understanding we have.”
