Speaking to the EADT, the Northern Ireland international said: "When he came in everyone lifted to a new level and I expect that level to be maintained and us to push on from that.
"In the new manager we have someone the players can trust, respect and believe in
"He is a winner and expects to be winners too. Of course we are not going to win every game but that doesn't stop us going in to every game looking to win and he will expect us to win.
"Even if we are losing we will never be beaten, we may run out of time to win but we won't be beaten."
