"To come here after playing three days ago, I am really happy for all the boys who put in another performance - we are building momentum.
"I was struggling, but as long as I have two legs I will give everything - I want to be on the pitch."
"Brighton are really good at home, their biggest strength is playing out from the back and sometimes they get out and you have to sprint back."
