STEVE MORISON:
"We're in a battle at the minute and we need to get out of it," he began. "I'm here to help and try and get some positive results.
"I came in on Monday, took the U23s to prepare them for their game on Tuesday and send them off with the messages we've been working on all season. Then we got to work on Monday afternoon preparing for this weekend's game. That's my remit: preparing for Stoke City. Then, we'll look at QPR after that.
"Hopefully we can start something over this next week, get a little bit of a run going and that will make the two home games really, really exciting."
As City prepare to face the Potters in the hunt for an important result, Morison explained that confidence is key in order to turn their fortunes around.
"It's all about if I can simplify it and put a bit of confidence in them," he continued. "We know they're capable of it, so it's just a question of getting them to do that on the pitch.
"From my point of view, I'm trying to get them working with a smile on their face. I've told them: 'There's no pressure on you now – the pressure is all on me.'
"They can go and enjoy themselves, carry out the plan that myself and Tom put in place. If they do that, I can sleep well at night knowing that they've carried out what I've asked, and that's my responsibility."
