I'm more relaxed - Grabbs

With transfer rumours and talk of him being tapped up coinciding with a loss of form resulted in Lewis Grabban spending some time on the sidelines, although since returning to the team he's scored twice in three games.

Grabban told the Advertsier; “I don't think the transfer talk knocked me off my stride. “In football, we all have a quiet period. Mine was in January and it was just coincidental that it came at the same time as the transfer talk."

“Maybe I was over-thinking things. That's what happens when you don't get on the scoresheet for a bit. You can over complicate it and you've just got to relax and start again and go out and try and do what you normally do. I feel more relaxed and better in myself now.”

"I have always tried to take penalties because it's the easiest chance that you'll get to score. I practice them on the training ground when the keepers have got a spare minute. Towards the end of the week I'll ask them for ten shots on goal and they oblige."

"In matches I don't have a set penalty, otherwise keepers will research it before the game and know where I go, I only decide before I take it. I just try and judge it there and then and be strong in my decision. I don't change my mind, I just go for it.”

“This month has a lot of games and if we can come out of it with a good share of points we can go into the final month with a platform to push on.” he added
