IT'S boosted Glenn Murray, Wilfried Zaha and Yannick Bolasie's confidence after they were named in the PFA Championhship Team of the Year this week.
I'm delighted for them and it's great when your peers appreciate how well you've done. , and quite rightly so because they've been fantastic.
Wilfried picking up the PFA Championship Young Player of the Year was also well-deserved and at the moment everyone is raising their game against him.
I thought he was terrific at Millwall on Tuesday but he's going to have to learn to live with it, particularly next year in the Premier League. , but he's a fantastic lad and a great player.
It was a tussle between him and Alan Dunne on Tuesday, who tried to contain him but I thought there were a couple of bits of brilliance from Wilf, especially one moment down in the bottom corner when he won a free-kick.
It was just one pass, one clinical pass that was needed for what we needed, so let's go again on Saturday, but well done to him. The Championship is not an easy division, so to get other players talking about you is fantastic.
There are a few favourite moments I have from his season, and there were few before I came to club too.
My favourite was his performance against Hull City at home when he terrorised their defence and put Kevin Phillips in twice and then scored himself.
Owen Garvan was absolutely brilliant at Millwall. His passing makes a difference and Glenn could have scored from his brilliant pass, but he also makes us look really solid.
Stiff
Let's hope he's not too stiff and he recovers quickly because he was sorely missed. He was out of his legs when I brought him off in the second half too.
Peterborough have got to come at us on Saturday and when teams just sit in, it's made it difficult for us and left ourselves open a little bit.
I fully expect Peterborough to have a go at us and they need to win, so it should be another fantastic game and atmosphere.
I'm looking for another solid performance from our boys.
I think the fans will fill the stadium and I think they should be. We're on the verge of something special here.
Every single one of my players stood out as a man at Millwall and they were counted with a fantastic performance. I'm expecting nothing short of that again and I believe it will be good enough.
I've heard we face Brighton in the play-offs if we win but we can't think like that at the moment – we just need that vital point.
The chairman spoke to me on Wednesday and he was telling me everybody at the club would have taken that at the start of last summer to get into the play-offs.
We definitely need to look at how far this group have come and help them over the line, it's as simple as that.
If we get one point, we'll be on 70 points and Nottingham Forest would have to win 6-0 against Leicester City to overtake us.
Basically we've got to match what they do and if they draw, it's over anyway.
People talk about momentum but once you're in the play-offs, it's about what we do, and I guarantee you we'll be hard to break down.
And then we've got talent going forward and the atmosphere changes. Let's bring it on Selhurst. Lastly, Aruna Dindane isn't looking like he'll play for us.
Unfortunately, it hasn't worked out for him and he hasn't been able to get to a level with the other lads and, sadly, I've had to tell him that.
