If we want to be a top team, we can't get to 3-0 and suddenly decide not to play without the ball. We have to play with intelligence right through the game.

Our country has been through some difficult moments recently in terms of its unity. But sport can unite.

I expect all the players, even the younger ones, to show leadership in their own way.

Kevin Hitchcock, the goalkeeping coach at QPR, is an old mate, and I came to work for him on the understanding that I was first choice.
