Quick turnaround, recovering, important game, everyone knows, but every game is. Want to give it our best.
Bournemouth, that would have been biggest game, now this is. Lot of experience of big games. Approach has always been consistent. Focus on delivering a performance and getting game management right. Would be fantastic game to win. |  | | |  |

Asked re VAR, had it at United before. Don't naturally enjoy it, main reaction when we score is to check whether it might be flagged off etc. But has brought some benefits, fewer errors etc. Time still an issue but semi-automated offsides will help. | | | |

De Bruyne, one of the best to grace the league. When facing City with him, biggest part of plan was how to stop him. I'm sure all Man City fans will wish him well. | | | |

Asked re passing out from back, whether clubs coming up should have been more direct. Both goals the other night started with Palmer, runs through second goal in detail, then going through first goal similarly (too quick to transcribe!). Can't be described as direct.
Across season we've been really versatile. Had games where we've pressed higher, where we've been deeper, had back fours, back fives, did what we've had to do to get points. If there was one way of guaranteeing more points, then we'd go with it. Not related to playing style. | | | |

Clinical against AFCB, need that on Saturday. Unlikely to get loads of chances in any Premier League game. At home, other teams have been clinical against us. Need to be clinical to turn good performances into wins. Big tep to do that the other night. | | | |

Nine games left, broken it down as a quarter of the season and want it to be the best quarter of the season. Know if we're going to stay in touch we need wins and quickly. Not looking past this game, full focus on Wolves, but approach if tied into anything, know we've got to pick up points quickly. | | | |

For Jens to score first Premier League goal was great, let alone win award. Played really well in that game, making progress all season, fantastic character and temperment in second half of NFFC game, and same on Wednesday. Really happy with him. | | | |

Need home support on Saturday, have no complaints on that front. Home games we've usually started well, but haven't had the first goal at home since Chelsea, despite having good starts against Spurs, City, Southampton. If challenge in remaining home games it's how we deal with setbacks. Against Forest, we didn't find response to first goal and game got away from us, as has happened in other games.
Atmosphere has been fantastic but not turned that into wins all season. Unlikely to be smooth sailing against Wolves. Over last couple of years been great at dealing with setbacks and tomorrow and in future games that's what we're going to have to find, so we at minimum to stay in game, then get late winner. Want to pick up points in final few home games. | | | |

Statistically can't argue Wolves have improved since we played them before, one of the in-form teams in division. Signed a couple of good players in January, who have adapted to the squad. Have respect for opponent but believe we can compete with teams in the league.
Wolves stronger without Cunha? Playing more as a team? A player like Cunha, you're not going to have everything, so you can probably find players who can do some of what he can do. Have a good squad, have added pace and power in January. | | | |

Nothing new injury-wise form the other night. Leaving it until tomorrow to select, had players who played more than we wanted and others coming back from injury. Omari and Leif are in that camp. | | | |

How impressed with Dara and season? He's been what we hoped he would be. Has been really important for us. A leader that belies his age, a lot of experience but pretty young for a centre-half. Taken the challenge of coming into a team that's had success and then going into a tougher league. Has gone from strength to strength as a leader and as a player, is improving and has played different roles. Played chunk of season with small fracture. Think he's still improving and think he'll get better. | | | |

Extra spice after the needle after away game? Not really, perhaps more from security staff! Not our main focus or motivation.
Will crowd remember that? Play up to pantomine villain status? We want fans to make Portman Road difficult. | | | |

Had extenuating circumstances, not sure how often could have picked same team due to injuries, but process has been disrupted. But quick turnaround so will make right decisions. | | | |

Wolves taking more consistent approach since change of manager. Kalvin hadn't trained before Wednesday due to 20 stitches in foot, but no reaction. | | | |
