"I've got an idea what our side is going to be. But I'm just going to take another look at us in training on Friday. It's just the game for us, just the game we need after a poor performance the other night.
"We want to redress the balance a little bit. There is a little bit of scaremongering going on at the moment. We've lost two games, both of them 1-0, and of the four games we've played we could certainly have won three of them. Even the other night in a poor performance we had the best chances of the game.
"We're not that far away, we haven't come from seventh from top in this division to the worst side all of a sudden. We've got to be a little bit careful we don't get carried away with things.
"I read we don't pass the ball anymore. All we ever train to do is pass the ball and that's what we'll continue to try to do. When you have off performances, sometimes accuracy goes, and that's what happened the other night.
"But they're still good players, top players in this division. Even as we stand now, where there's room for a lot of improvement, we're not the world's worst all of a sudden."
