“We’ve got to out and make things happen and only we can turn our current situation around.
“There is still a lot of football to be played this season and anything can happen but we have to improve, especially away from home.
“Everywhere is tough. In this league there no ground that you go to and get points easily. Steven Naismith

“We can take nothing for granted and all the players are aware that we need to play well to get all three points.”
