Vital Quotes: Simon Grayson

“Eddie Howe has done a good job both at Bournemouth and Burnley,”

He has started well this season, beating Bolton on the opening day which was a great result and then they narrowly lost in midweek. The reports we have had back indicate that his team are a hard working outfit who have plenty of firepower in Martin Paterson, Charlie Austin and Sam Vokes.”

“Nine times out of ten we will be underdogs in games this season. I think there are only four teams in the Championship this season who haven`t played in the Premier League so we are going into every game against established Championship teams who have very good players within their squad. We don`t fear anyone but we are respectful of what teams can do against us. The underdog mentality may suit us because the pressure will be on our opponents. I would like to think that teams will come to our Stadium this season and be concerned about the threats that we hold as a team.”
