"But you compare yourself to other left-backs in the Championship and the Premier League to see what they’re doing, and even in League One and League Two, because they’re at your heels and want to take your job so you’ve got to prepare yourself for that. “I look at the interceptions throughout the games and I was at the lower end of the stats and I thought to myself, ‘I want to be in the top two or top three of the stats of every single possible thing I can be at’, because I want to be recognised as one of the best left-backs in the league.
