"There have been times when I could feel I still had to win the respect of my teammates.
"When you are a new signing still trying to prove yourself the other players are maybe a little wary of giving you the ball.
"I felt that was the case last season, but like any professional the onus was on me to win everybody around with my performances.

"I have found a bit of momentum and need to keep working hard now."
Got a song for Cheyrou?
