1)on injury worries - two lads just come back - always difficult for manager the international break - no injuries - Chamakh still struggling - wont risk him
2) the two weeks since i took over my feet have not touched the floor - would be nice to have a game to have a relaxing afternoon - been chasing about looking for accommodation etc - have really enjoyed the training - very genuine bunch - have brought in good quality and sets us up well
3) also brought in Zaha - we brought in four different players - we were looking for players that wouldn't disrupt the dressing room - all fitted in well - McArthur been in Germany but has fitted in well - Kevin Doyle looks like he has never been away - always been a big fan - his experience will help cos we are a young team
4) we have worked on everybody knowing what I want them to do - whoever I pick in the side will know where I want them to go - some lads have not even come back til today - looking forward to the game with the special crowd and will be nice to see Sean Dyche as well - am sure they are looking at the game as a winnable game
5) four signings will be in the match day squad - we have about 22 at the moment - Joe Ledley trained and played for Wales on their awful pitch - he was our only other doubt
6) on Andy Johnson - like his attitude - loves the club and is a very fit lad - is a couple of weeks away - have also asked him to take them strikers away - all on a learning curve
7) AJ a couple of weeks away - might play v Newcastle in the cup - we then have 3 games in 6 days - will know more about the squad then
8) on Newcastle draw - was great to put the team out and they responded well - was disappointed with the goals we conceded - the goals we scored were fabulous - we deserved to win - although it was 95th minute we more than deserved the win
9) on palace history - the club have come on leaps and bounds - we wanna beat Burnley - am also looking forward to going to the top teams - we have enough ammunition
10) the lads dont need an awful lot - they need reassurance about their positions - we are all in a fight to keep their places - there are no problem players - all singing from the same hymn sheet - have players with things to prove
11) on pressure to win the game - we have to go and give our best shot - was pleasing to come back against Newcastle
12) cant make judgement on certain games - have to try and get as many points on board as quick as you can - have to take opportunities when they come along
13) on being 6th choice - doesn't bother me now - you take the opportunity when it comes along - am at the stage now where I will enjoy every minute - I do feel it is the right club for me and do owe the fans a little
14) life's too short about what people think - glad to be here an working with the players
15) on Sean Dyche - he got a rough deal at Watford - you have to get on with things and look forward in a good way
16) all needed the break to take stock of what had happened - the four days I got after I got the job were crazy - was a nice relief to have a break
17) players reaction to Tony departure - look where they finished in the league table - I think we are slightly better now
18) on unfinished business - things were difficult to keep the boat rolling - was a loggerheads with the administrator to keep best players - did go in the end - when I came back with QPR - it was an emotional day as didn't get much stick - to get the opportunity now - nice to try and steady the ship and help the club plan forward
19) the pressure is always there - you put pressure on yourself - this was the only job 100% that i wanted and my wife wanted me to take it - there will be bad times cos that is the type of league we are in but it is the same for everybody - we have a decent squad to give it a good go
20) home form decides if you stay up or not - if we perform on the pitch everything takes care of itself cos the fans are amazing - it is an intimidating place and I want them to be like that
21) not in a rush to send players out on loan - there are a couple that aren't in the 25 who will go out on loan - Paddy McCarthy will go out on loan - same as Ramage - will see which club is the best club for Paddy - will wait till after the Newcastle game in the cup - am in their corner to get them games
22) on the Ryder Cup - is the one tournament that you can beat the atmosphere - love it from a managers point of view.
