“There are three more games in which I can learn about players who have a future for me in the squad.

“And then, of course, I have to look at new players – there is a positive energy in it, as I proved once with Karlan Grant, I think I proved the right decision to sign him. Obviously, each manager needs the best players for his style, and in the recruitment, we now look at players who will fit my ethos. “This is absolutely key.

“When I look at all the teams that are toward the top of the Championship now, each manager has created a team that mirrors them but also has a club determined to get players to fit that style.

“The other thing to note about (transfers) is that you want to bring in players with fresh minds and fresh ideas.
