Vitor Matos: “We need to look to ourselves, look at what we need to improve and we need to be stable emotionally as well, to understand the Championship is really close.
“We don’t play the table, we play the games and thankfully it’s one at each time, that helps a lot.
“It’s up to us to focus on our training because always when you put 50% in you get 50% out.
“If you put 100 per cent in you take 100 per cent out. That’s what I want to focus on and that’s where I know the players are focusing.
“Derby really know how to hurt opposition teams in different kinds of ways, quick attacks, counter, set-pieces, crosses. We know we need to be on our best to go there.”
John Eustace: “They’re an excellent team. They’re back to the old Swansea way now of dominating possession, playing some fantastic football.
“They’ve got a really good coach there and they’ve got a group of players that know the system inside out. They’ve been there a long time, but they’ve also invested in the team as well. They’re solid – a very good Championship team and it’s going to be a difficult afternoon for us.
“Saying that, our lads have worked very well this week. The signings we’ve made in the transfer window have certainly given everyone a boost, which is ideal. The squad are in a really good place.”
