"You have to remember life is not what happens to you but how you respond to what happens to you."So I am looking for a response from the players tomorrow to the fact that we dropped points on the road."

He added that there will be some expected changes in the team line-up tonight."It is quite a turn around and we will make some changes forced through suspensions for Hardy (Parsi) and Joel (Chianese) while Khairi (Kiman) and Julamri (Muhammad) looked likely to miss out as well with injuries so we are going to make on something today on training."The bottom line is that the true factor about the whole game against DRB Hicom was that we conceded two soft goals through our poor defending which the players admit and know about."But at the same time we created five or six chances, and key thing in football is that you can't always score three or four goals every game."I am not concerned about creating chances, I want to make sure that we stop the leaky defence.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.
