It has been getting better gradually. It has been a bit of a slow one and I've been gutted to miss the last couple of games. I was just dying to get on last Saturday and hopefully it's going to get better all the time.

I think when the games are tight or if there's half a chance he's always going to nick one for you. But I don't think that was the main factor last Saturday because even if he was playing in the first half he wouldn't be able to do anything with that.

We don't want to put ourselves under unnecessary pressure, but at the same time we have to set ourselves a goal and that is the goal. It is going to be tough but we have the squad capable of doing it.

I think that has been to our advantage. A lot of people have been talking up Sheffield United, and Reading have been doing well. But we are just concentrating on ourselves and if we can keep sneaking up the table and get a few more good results, we can get even higher.
