Levels of training good again, as you'd expect having beaten the leaders.
Think Stoke have been playing really well. Been impressed, one of best footballing sides in the division, good on the ball, out of possession. They said themselves, Saturday was a one-off, a game that got away with them. Struggled on set plays against Sheffield U. Really good footballing test, should be a good game.

Can't see himself being a manager constantly for as long as Mark Robins. Brilliant job at Coventry. No surprise he's doing so well. That level of longevity to be respected but not repeated by me!

Sindre very mature and calm, doesn't get too up or down. Feels better for the couple of goals. Big boost for him. His finishing is excellent, knew we'd get him opportunities. Keeping developing, played a lot of football for someone new to the country, so have to keep managing him. Progressing well. Couple of good kneeslides on Saturday, no one has matched Marcus Harness, though! Had no major hiccups from them.

Pleased FA Cup draw at home after away games over Christmas, which was a challenging spell. Home game that we can win, Blackpool will see it as a chance to get an upset. Know a few of their players.

What was the context there, Phil, in terms of the question asked?
Seems an odd comment - Robins' managerial career has only been 18 years so far, which doesn't seem all that long in the grand scheme of things.

Not focused any more on set pieces ahead of Wednesday any more than we would normally. Stoke have been good at defending them up to Saturday.

Hirst suspended, hadn't realised one was in abandoned game, thought first one was soft on Saturday.
Ivan will have taken confidence from first goal at the weekend at home. He'll feel better after that. We have some good options in different types of forwards that we plan to use going forward.

Jaden knows how important the defensive side of the game is, his physical output in a game like Saturday, top for distance, speed and more. Physical capability huge. Best use of that is without the ball.
He's brave, agile and he's able to get his toe to thing and regain possession. Was a big part of the game on Saturday. Jaden is capable of pressing the centre-back and then moving on to the right-back. Big asset and can be a big part of his career.

Crowd can play their part, go into the game in good spirits after Saturday. But in a period like this, not always as smooth as you'd like to be if you're training all week, Cov, for example, had a full week to prepare whereas we didn't. Appreciate support, always do. Always a privilege to be at our home stadium.

Chance to build some momentum, but only a chance. Have had a couple of big results this season, Sheffield United 5-0, derby win, so not that we've not been able to win big games and by big margins. Finding consistency and when not playing well, finding a way to win. When there are fewer stoppages in the season, that can be helpful. Stoke's motivation could be similar to us after Blackburn performance, so we're facing an opponent hammering down on those qualities. Determined to back up Saturday's result, show the best of us for longer in games.
