Fulham v Hull City AFC - Team news...

Cliff Byrne in the hot seat at today's presser...

Byrne on the club's new ticket offer and the fans

It makes a huge difference to see that many people in the stadium. It’s important to put in a performance and watching us train gives everybody a chance to see what we do on a daily basis. Everyone plays a role and we believe when we’re like that we can be a real force.

Byrne on the importance of fans

We want it to become a habit and a norm for the club. We look to take every confidence from that. Hopefully the fans have seen a team play the right way and hopefully they come back. The lads were digging deep and make no mistake the noise in the stadium certainly contributes to that.

Byrne on team news and Norbert Balogh

Everyone has a clean bill of health that played last week. I think it might be too soon for Norbert. It’s one we’re looking on a day to day basis.

He’s been cracking on with it, his English isn’t as good as everyone else’s but he’s self-taught and he’s been good. He’s great to work with.

Byrne on Fulham and how City will play them

They like to get the ball down and ball but the focus will be on us. I don’t think it brings any more pressure, we’re looking to find a way to win and it’s no different to last week or next week.

We can’t look much into form, they have good players and we know we need to be on our game.

City not focussing on Mitrovic says Byrne

There’s another couple of areas in attacking players. If you focus too much on one player you take your eye off someone else.

Josh Bowler to start again? Byrne's cagey about that

It’s a decision the manager will have to make. There’s different players and different dynamics. We’ve got a fit and healthy squad and the manager has them at his disposal. We’ve got good options throughout the squad.

Byrne on contracts

That’s in the hands of the football club. The focus from the coaching staff is always on what’s on the grass. We don’t have a huge amount of control.

 

It's hard to park anywhere near, last time I parked about two miles away off the Kings Road, it was the closest I could find.
