If someone is going to spend a whole game marking you, then there may be games when I will have to sacrifice myself for the team and take them away and create space for a team-mate.

I like to win the ball back for the team and I can contribute going forward.

If you get too high it comes back to bite you on the backside so I was always aware in spells before when I've done well in a season, eventually there was a wee dip.

You cannot look back and think what if.

There are always challenges that come your way and I'm probably better prepared to deal with them now I've been at Hibs.

Hopefully I can challenge myself and establish myself as a Premier League player for Aston Villa.

Two-footed players always get a lot more recognition, so I always practised as a kid with my right foot.

I'm going from Somerset Park one week to Wembley the next. It's crazy but that's football. You don't get to where you want to be without going through all these different places.

If you've not got the doubts to go and prove people wrong, that's when you get into that comfort zone and stop progressing.

You have to be able to deal with the pressures that playing for a big club like Hibs brings and it's not for everyone.

Scoring at the big stadiums in Glasgow is something I have dreamed about doing since I was a wee boy and now I have managed to do that.

In Scotland you can enter a comfort zone. I felt I had already developed a reputation there and felt it was important to prove I can play elsewhere.
