- Asked whether he sees himself as an England regular before the World Cup, Anderson said he hopes so. There are so many good players that he must keep performing for Forest to keep his spot.
- Pereira said he would change all 11 if he could, because the players deserve it, but against a strong team he cannot risk losing the balance. He will make some changes.
- Asked whether the Europa League could distract from the fight for survival, Pereira said they have ambitions in it and want to move forward. The Premier League is different and demands a lot.
- Asked what he has learned from taking over clubs mid-season, Pereira said it is about connecting with people and giving them confidence. Changing a lot is impossible, but they can give players freedom.
