"All the lads are working hard. We have had a bit of criticism about our back four lately but we have been working hard in training and keeping it tight
"To keep clean sheets has been great for us and hopefully we can keep many more.
"It's not just the back four, it's the whole team working hard in defending as well, so the manager has been working hard and we are just trying to put that in our game."
