Osho: Bradford win doesn't mean much if we don't back it up

Gabriel Osho:
“It’s going to be another tough game. At home, we’ve been so good but they’re also fighting for something.
"They’re in good form and everyone in the changing room is aware of that. As long as we implement our style, hopefully we can win.
“There’s nothing wrong with feeling that the Bradford City win was significant because it was.
"Off the back of that, it’s important to back it up because otherwise, it doesn’t mean as much. We’ll be looking to do that on Saturday.
“It was a challenging first couple of months but it seems to be getting better since January. My first game against Bradford City, I gave away a penalty; the second game was against Wigan Athletic, which was better.
“Then the Leyton Orient and Reading games were tough for me. It was difficult to come in as a new player and you don’t play as you want to.
“My teammates, the manager and my family have helped me through that. I would be surprised if it didn't hit anyone hard. I’m an emotional guy so it was tough, especially as a new player.
"I’ve learned to be resilient. I'm strong in my faith and have leant on that. It seems to be bouncing back at the moment.
“Competition to play at CB is amazing. I don’t think I’ve been in a team where the competition for one position has had so many players that can play in any given week.
"It’s good for the team, keeps everyone hungry and fresh so we’re going into games and everyone is feeling like they can perform at 100%. It makes training really competitive.
“We’ve got quite a good mix of ages across the team. The more experienced guys have won leagues before and have been promoted.
"We’re balancing that with the younger players who maybe haven’t experienced it before and everything is good at the moment.
“It does help that the younger players haven’t experienced it because they’re so enthusiastic. We have such a good spirit in the changing room, there’s a great atmosphere."
