He’s brought us all here to achieve the best we can and, for him and our minds, that’s getting promotion out of this league, something we’ve set out to do from day one.

“I think now we’re on a good run of form and hopefully that can continue. The vision and the preparation for how we want to work never really changes and it’s more being able to put what the manager is saying into practice and all buying into what he wants us to do.”

As mentioned, the position that Wednesday are currently sat in makes promotion very much still an uphill task but they have given themselves a great chance in the last few
