"It is about starting well but it's the moments after that as well. I thought we started with a really good period and then we go 1-0 down against Cardiff with what you regard as a little bit of a special goal.

"It was then about recovering from that.

"A good start will help but ultimately it's about putting in a 90 minute performance that's going to get us a result."
