O' SHEA ISN'T CONCERNED

Speaking about being left out mid-week:

"That is the way it is but with the games we have coming up where we play at
the weekend and midweek, it's going to be Saturday-Wednesday-Saturday
from now on. It will be more or less three games every week. We have a
virtually fully fit squad so we are going to go into it in good shape. "

"It gives you confidence getting a clean sheet and you go into the next game
thinking 'let's get another one'"

"The first of the season was important and to have got it at a place like
Southampton with the home record they have was very pleasing. Consistency
seems to be the major factor. When we have been winning the league, that's
where teams have faltered without the consistency. It's the major factor. You
need to be putting long runs together like a 15 game unbeaten run then a 16
game run to win the league."
