“Elland Road – that’s a nice easy one on the back of the run we’ve been having,” he joked.
“It’s a fantastic football arena but it’s certainly no place for cowards or shirkers. Going to a place like that and facing that screaming mob takes some bottle – and I’m absolutely dying for it.
"At times like this you find out what you’re all about. It’s very easy to take the pats on the back and the plaudits when you’re on a roll, but when a bit of adversity comes your way you’ve got to be able to deal with that as well
“The signs are there that we’re not that far away.
"We’ve played well against the best sides in this league, entertained and scored goals, but we’ve been punished for making silly errors.
"We weren’t making those errors in the early part of the season, so we’ve got to get back to those basics.
“Against Leeds at the Ricoh we didn’t get started for 20 minutes but after that we laid siege to their goal for long periods.
"I thought Forest were there for the taking the other night and the pressure we put them under in the last 20 minutes shows how close we are.
“There’s certainly not a chasm of class. We’ve been done by one goal in so many games and they’ve been tight because we’re always in it, we’re always at it, we’re always likely to score. The important thing is how we learn from those experiences.
