Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Brighton and Hove Albion at the Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 15:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- Andrews' squad is in "a pretty good place" and he has no fresh injury concerns.
- His Macclesfield dressing room visit "wasn't planned" but Andrews felt it was "the right thing to do".
- On the talk around his Macclesfield gesture: "I think it's a bit sad that you do something a bit nice or normal... Obviously, I wasn't aware that there's a camera in the dressing room. It's more of an indictment of where we are if we think that's something as out of the ordinary. I wouldn't, personally."
- When asked whether breaking the Bees' Premier League points record is achievable, he said: "I don't know, I just know that we have a group that are very, very hungry to achieve and want to strive and get better."
- On Brighton: "I have a lot of respect for Fabian [Hurzeler]. There's a lot of fine margins in games, their results probably haven't been fair, overall. It's going to be a tricky game and we'll have to earn the result."
- On James Milner, who could break the all-time Premier League appearance record on Saturday: "It's been staggering, the longevity, the quality, the level of clubs he's played at and his impact."
- On how Andrews has united his players: "I'm not a very good gardener, but it's like your garden - you've got to take care of it, you can't take it for granted. Communicate, treat people with respect, have standards. I don't think it's common to have the dressing room that we have."
- On his relationship with club owner Matthew Benham: "Matt is an amazing person. He's ultimately a fan who wants his club to do well. Our communication is pretty consistent, I enjoy his company. He's certainly not an over-imposing owner, he has a simple way of doing things - common sense is prevalent here. We speak very openly about where we're at and where we want to get to."
