"I am sure he has been frustrated with it but he has been excellent with his attitude.
"There have been a couple of occasions when he was not even in the 16, but he was still in the dressing room encouraging people straight after the game - win, lose or draw.
"We are trying to establish a group of players who support one another and he has been excellent.
"He has come here from the World Cup into a new life and culture and sometimes in England we are poor at recognising how people have to settle into a new country.

"It was very important that we won this game otherwise we would have been adrift of the middle of the table.
"It was a hard game for us because Fulham have individuals who can pick you off at times, but we kept going and got the result we needed."
