ON THE PERFORMANCE AGAINST FULHAM:

"It's difficult to put our finger on what was wrong on Saturday because the other performances had all been so good.

"It was a blow but you've got to pick yourself up. You're going to have good days and bad days, but we've got another big game to look forward to now and we're focused on picking up points."

ON DARREN BENT'S CALL UP TO THE ENGLAND SQUAD FOR WEDNESDAY'S INTERNATONAL FRIENDLY WITH GERMANY:

"It's good for Darren because he's had a great run of scoring goals, but now he's got to continue that because competition among the strikers here is just as fierce.

ON THE LILYWHITES IN-FORM STRIKERS ROMAN PAVYLECHENKO, FRAZIER CAMPBELL AND COMPETITION FOR PLACES:

"Roman and Fraizer are also scoring goals and are in terrific form.

So it's up to Darren to keep doing what he's doing and not let his standards slip.
