Grant looking forward to Cup challenge

23 August 2010 19:46
Avram Grant has chosen to look forward to tomorrow evenings League Cup tie at home against Oxford United. Despite witnessing his second successive defeat of the Premiership season on Saturday against Bolton, the new manager was encouraged by a positive first-half performance. “Despite the two defeats this season, I am very much encouraged,” Grant told the official site. "They showed they have strong character and a high spirit.  This, along with the good football, we played is important. "We had two big chances, and half chances.  We created five times more chances than them but didn't score. "The key to keep the morale high is to continue playing like we did against Bolton and not the way we did against Aston Villa.  If we do the right things we will have a good season.  It will not be easy but we have the ability."
