Larsson doing with presser with Nige this afternoon please log in to view this image Larsson up first... "We're going into the final - and crucial - part of the season now. It's good to be back and everyone is focused on getting the results needed to ensure it's a strong finish to the season." "I feel as though we're moving in the right direction. Listen, we know the situation we're in. We're not of out it whatsoever. We've just got to look to get the points - and performances - we need." "Apart from Millwall - we've done quite well at home. We're confident on home soil, but we know we've got to perform better than we did against Birmingham last time out. It will be tough against Aston Villa, but it's a challenge we're ready for." (on Steve Bruce): "I’ve only got good things to say about him. I’ve had two spells with him as my manager and he’s doing well now. I’m not surprised at that. He’s a good manager and - apart from this weekend - I wish him all the best." "There are eight games to go and we are six points above the relegation zone - if you are not safe at this stage, it is high pressure games. Hopefully, we can use that pressure to our advantage." "I think we are mentally strong. I was asked that before at Preston away and we have showed that since. It’s about keeping that going for the last eight games now." Adkins up next... "We're looking forward to the end-of-season run-in. We've had ten lads go away on international duty and they performed well. The lads that stayed behind have trained well. Everyone is back in the camp now and training has been good today." "We know where we are. We made our own little mini-league table and at the moment we’re second - but we want to be top of it! Everyone’s back and we’re refocused for the challenges that lie ahead in our next eight games." "It's big game - and it will be a tough game. They've lost their last two games and they'll want a reaction. But, we want to win every game we play. We had a good meeting this morning and we’re focusing on our performance and what we have to do." "We know we've got to be at the top of our game. Both teams will be looking to get on the front foot and get the ball forward. We have to focus on our game and control the controllables." "Steve Bruce coming back doesn’t put any pressure on me. He’s been the most successful manager in the club’s history. He’s now at Villa where he has a different challenge. I'm sure it will be a great atmosphere." "We’ve got one or two little niggles. Some players haven’t been able to do the full session today. I have to make sure we have to get everyone right. We’re at the stage of the season now where if someone does go down it could be costly." "The fixtures are coming thick and fast and it’s a big two weeks coming up, but we have to break it down to one game at a time. The next game is always the most important and our only focus is on Saturday against Aston Villa." The end.
