Declan Rice and the rest of the squad are facing a couple of days during which they need to recover from the exertions of a busy week.
The midfielder – speaking to www.whufc.com – declared: “Obviously, playing three games in a week is tough, especially having played the second half with ten men on Saturday.
” But we go again against Burnley, so I’ve got to recover well, conserve my energy and prepare myself mentally to go out there and perform again.
“It’s been good, it’s been really, really good,” he confirmed. “I’m enjoying playing in a different position than last year, which I really like. I’m really enjoying playing in that role.
“The way we’re all training together, Issa, Fab and myself have got a great connection together. Even though Issa is French and Fab is from Paraguay, we all speak together and we all get on really well, and it’s good to have those connections.
“We understand that if Fab goes into the ball, I drop into his spot and we know each other’s positions inside out.
“I think it’s good that we have three like that at the top of the spine who know what they’re doing.”
But his thoughts are actually up top where he says: “We created a lot of chances again [on Wednesday. ]In the first ten or 15 minutes we caught them offside three or four times, but the first two goals came from mistakes and ricochets, both off the legs, and they’ve been put through for two easy goals.
“The third one is also a mistake, but, look, we’ve got to move on from that and concentrate on Burnley.
“We’ve been creating so many chances, winning so many corners and opposition ‘keepers have been having worldies against us, to be fair, making some great saves, but we’ve got to start turning chances into goals because you don’t move up the league or win cup competitions if you don’t score.”
