"The home games will be vital for us because we have our fans backing us and that does make a difference. It is a new experience; a different experience — but I am taking it on and loving it.

"I just like to enjoy the moment. I am in a good space. It can take a bit of time to settle in. But in the Tottenham game in particular, I felt so much more like myself.

"That carried on into the Palace game, I wanted to carry on. The break will have done us good. The training camp trip to Greece [training camp] will have helped with team bonding. It was a good chance to get to know people."
