It's obviously very frustrating as a footballer. "I feel most comfortable in central midfield – I feel I give more to the team there. "My versatility's worked out well for me so far, but I want to nail down a place where I feel I'm best at. Hopefully, it's central midfield.

"This club should be around the top six in the league – that's where we all want to go. "With the lads here, and bringing in a few over the next few years, we can reproduce the form that got us there in the first place.
