Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game at West Ham United (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
McKenna confirmed Jens Cajuste has a "'a little issue with his knee" but is hopeful he will be back after the international break. There will also be late fitness calls for other players who have picked up knocks.
He said players are "learning every week" but there will still be "mistakes along the way" and they just have to "keep the right mindset, then we will put ourselves in a good position."
On what the mood has been like since the dramatic draw against Aston Villa: "It’s been good. We enjoyed the game. We are still a group and I am still a manager and staff that are used to winning a lot of games. I don’t think we will ever be euphoric after a draw but it was a really good game to be involved in."
He added: "It is a pretty quick turnaround from Aston Villa to West Ham but it hasn’t been hard to get the players to turn their attention. I know it is another big game, another big challenge and one to look forward to."
On how close he thinks it will be against the Hammers: "Let's hope we can make it really competitive. I don’t think there [will be] many weeks this year where we are going to blow teams out of the water so we need to work really, really hard to be competitive."
The Ipswich boss feels they have "begun to impose our football a bit more", but it "always comes down to margins and moments": "We hope we can be really clinical in our execution when we have our moments, and defend their moments well to give ourselves a chance to get a result."
On Kalvin Phillips importance: "He is settling in well and enjoying it day to day. He is getting fitter. Each performance he has had for us has probably been stronger than the last. It doesn’t always work like that [but] if he can keep working as he is, then he has a good chance of working himself into some really good form."
On the progress of Liam Delap: "He has really committed himself well to that [intense] process and is working really well with the staff. He is a popular member of the group and for 21 years of age, the start he has had in the Premier League is really promising. But it is a handful of games [and] he knows there is still a long way to go and there is still lots to improve on. But he has made some really good first strides."

Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich midfielder Kalvin Phillips says the "narrative" around his weight became a personal frustration.
Earlier this year Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola apologised for saying the midfielder was "overweight" on his return from the Qatar World Cup.
It was something former Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa worked on with the 28-year-old during their time at Elland Road.
Former Leeds team-mate Patrick Bamford felt the Argentine was the "harshest" on Phillips.
Speaking on Bamford's My Mate's A Footballer podcast on BBC Sounds, Phillips said: "When we first came in, Bielsa - being South American - was obsessed with body composition, weights and body fats. I was on the higher end of the team, if not the highest.
"I had a pre-season where, for about three weeks, I'd go home and I'd just have a protein shake for my dinner and then come in the next day and I just have to keep losing weight.
"He always pushed me to be on a certain weight tag. Obviously I respected it, but then I knew that I can't starve myself or I can't dehydrate myself because eventually I'm going to get injured or stop performing."
England international Phillips has praised Ipswich boss Kieran McKenna for how he has been since making his loan move to the club in the summer.
"That [overweight] narrative on social media just kind of grew and grew. Every club that I'd go to, I spoke to the manager and the nutritionist, and they'd always speak about weight before they'd say anything else," Phillips added.
"I was getting quite frustrated with it, but now I've come to Ipswich, the manager is an unbelievable person as well as a manager.
"We spoke about all the past stuff that happened in my career. He just said, 'I'm big on body composition and I just want you to get to where you were when you left Leeds. That'll give us a good starting point for you to push on and hopefully get to back, back to where you were.'"
Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich Town midfielder Kalvin Phillips says he is "loving" his time with the Tractor Boys following his loan move from Manchester City - and manager Kieran McKenna is a big reason why.
Speaking on the My Mate's A Footballer Podcast on BBC Sounds, Phillips said: "I'm loving it to be fair. It's a lovely part of the world.
"I'd never expect myself to be down here, but yeah, it just happened and I spoke to McKenna in pre-season and he was very keen on bringing me here.
"I knew Leif [Davies] and Leif was Facetiming me every day for the three weeks before I signed.
"I spoke to the manager and obviously I didn't know him but he seemed like a good guy. I spoke to Leif about him all the time and when I spoke to him I just knew straight away that he was a manager that, if I went there, he’d put trust in me and make sure that everything that he did was for my benefit."
Phillips has started in four of the past five games for Ipswich in all competitions and admits it has just been great to be back playing on a regular basis.
"The main reason I came to Ipswich was just to get back playing football week in, week out and make sure that I'm fit again," he added.
"I'm not getting many injuries, which over the past two years I've had quite a lot and I think I am just back to enjoying my football."

Image source, Getty Images'Liam Delap ole ole!' rang out across Portman Road on Sunday afternoon, as the Ipswich Town faithful acknowledged another goalscoring impact from their new hero, who scored an excellent double to extend the club's unbeaten run to four.
If previous performances were about grinding out points in adversity, especially away from home, and becoming hard to beat - then Sunday's outing marked an evolution in attacking intent.
Despite Aston Villa dominating territory and possession in the first half, the home team had more shots, efforts on target and also so-called 'big chances'.
In similar fashion to the draw with Fulham, the second period saw the Blues grow into the game and extend their dominance of the attacking metrics.
Kieran McKenna's side, roared on by the buoyant home support, would not have been flattered - in either fixture - if they had scored a winning goal.
Games against the likes of Aston Villa will not decide the ultimate success or failure of Ipswich's campaign, and the same goes for a good chunk of our opponents this season, but taking points over other sides seeking to avoid the bottom three will.
That requires chances to be created and, most crucially, converted.
It is worth noting that Town's pathway to the top-flight relied heavily on goals from the three players behind the front-man.
Conor Chaplin was the Blues' top scorer from the number 10 position in each of the club's promotion-winning seasons. Even in the Championship last season, Nathan Broadhead and Omari Hutchinson scored more than our forwards.
So, while Delap's early goal return is as reassuring as it has been necessary so far, the hope now is that the likes of Hutchinson and Jack Clarke can get off the mark to back him up.
What better time than a run of four games in a row against fellow bottom-half sides?

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Ipswich and Aston Villa.
Here are some of your comments:
Ipswich fans
Greg: This is the first time this season when it has felt like last season. Real belief today. I can't remember a player who has reached legendary status at Portman Road quicker than Liam Delap. What a heart that lad has!
Paul: Brilliant. Aston Villa were outplayed for most of the match. We were a little loose in defence for about 15 minutes in the first half and it cost us with two soft Villa goals. After that, Villa produced little of quality. Delap was brilliant, especially on his second goal while Phillips, Burns, and Davis dominated down the middle. Keep it up boys!
Alan: I think we are finally looking like a Premier League team. One mistake which led to their first goal, but other than that we really held our own and probably should have won it in the end. Our best performance so far, we were fighting for our lives against Brighton, but today looked like the better team against a Champions League side.
Mat: Spirited display and you can see week on week the likes of Hutchison and Clarke having the confidence to attack teams with full commitment. Once our imposter syndrome is put to bed, there will be a lot of teams drop points at Portman Road this season and the signs continue to be bright against a whole new level of quality in the Premier League.
Villa fans
Susan: It was not the best preparation for the upcoming game against Bayern. A good result for Ipswich and it was not Delap who helped them to a draw, but again, bad defending by Villa. Still feel Emery needs to change the 4-3-3 formation to a 4-4-2. Villa will find the Man Utd match tough.
Rob: Disjointed performance especially at the back where Carlos continues to look out of place. Missed McGinn in midfield with Ramsey for once having a poor game and as soon as Rogers went off we lacked presence in midfield. Unai will sort it out though - fifth after six games is okay.
Colin: Probably close to our strongest team, we looked comfortable through a lot of the match but the intensity of Ipswich earned them a deserved draw. Villa’s defensive mistakes continue and the return of Mings cannot come soon enough. He organises, challenges and puts his body on the line for the team. Martinez is losing some gloss!
Carlos: It was clear Villa players had their minds on Wednesday’s game against Bayern, otherwise they would have won this comfortably. Players lost focus in the second half trying to avoid Ipswich's aggressive and dirty tackling. Delap took his goals well, but they came from Villa. Ipswich will look back at it as a missed opportunity. Villa move on to a bigger fixture.

Match of the Day 2 commentator at Portman Road
Image source, Getty ImagesHaving watched Liam Delap in the Championship I was of the belief the second tier was his level. Loan spells at Stoke, Preston and Hull showed he was a goal scorer, but not prolific enough to suggest the England Under-21 international could, in the short term, transition to the Premier League.
Not for the first time in my career I am having to revisit my opinion on a player.
Delap’s early development came at Derby County’s academy, before switching to Manchester City aged 16. A year later he scored on his debut for the senior team in their Carabao Cup third round win over Bournemouth. Prior to the arrival of Erling Haaland Pep Guardiola described Delap as "the type of striker we don't have, a killer, a typical British striker. He has special qualities. An incredible finisher. The only problem we've had is injury after injury after injury".
A succession of ankle problems at Manchester City, and most recently a knee injury picked up whilst playing for Hull in January, would have been noted in scouting reports. Kieran McKenna appears to have always seen the bigger picture. When asked about his main striker’s potential following the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa, he told Sky Sports: "I think there's loads to come. I still don't think fitness-wise he is anywhere near the level he can get to after a big injury at the end of last season. The impact he has had and all-round play, and to have so much growth left in him, we are really happy to have him here."
When stood in front of me in the interview area afterwards, the youngster with his near middleweight boxer-esque physique, admitted he is full of confidence and excited by what the future could have in store. "It’s my first season in this league," he said. "I’m still young. I’m learning every game. Hopefully I’ll get better and better."
Ipswich agreed a club record £20m deal to secure Delap’s services, which speaks to the faith they have in him becoming an excellent long-term investment. It’s still early days, but so far, there’s no doubt Delap is forcing sceptics, like myself, to force down a generous helping of humble pie.
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Manchester United defender Phil Jones believes Kieran McKenna has done a "terrific job" as Ipswich Town manager so far, but says his former Manchester United coach has a "mammoth job" ahead of him this season.
Speaking on Match of the Day 2, after Ipswich managed to hold Aston Villa to a 2-2 draw at Portman Road, Jones said: "He is terrific. His range of knowledge and his understanding of the game is second to none.
"He was really good at Manchester United. You could see, from the sessions he took there, what kind of an influence he had on our side.
"I think he has done a terrific job so far at Ipswich. He has got a mammoth job this year trying to keep them in the league but, if they keep picking up points like this and make Portman Road a fortress and a really tough ground to go to for teams, they have a great chance of staying in the league.
"It is a huge point for Ipswich. They have come up against some really good Premier League teams already this season. I think they will be pretty happy with getting four points on the board so far."

Image source, PA MediaWhen you enter the Premier League as a promoted club, your chances of survival are increased greatly if you have a striker who can contribute important goals to your cause regularly.
The early signs are that Ipswich could have that in Liam Delap.
Signed for an initial fee of about £15m from Manchester City in July, the 21-year-old has netted three goals in his first six Premier League appearances for the Tractor Boys - including two in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.
Delap has already shown that he can score different types of goals, too.
He got off the mark with a powerful long-range shot against Fulham, his first against Villa was a first-time finish from 12 yards, while his second on Sunday was created by a wonderful piece of individual skill.
Allowed to carry the ball from the halfway line, Delap strode into the box and his stepover got the better of Diego Carlos before he thumped home past Emi Martinez.
A first Premier League victory of the season may still elude Ipswich, but manager Kieran McKenna will take plenty of positives from his side's fourth successive league draw - not least the goalscoring form of his centre forward.
Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich Town manager Kieran McKenna has been speaking to Sky Sports after today's draw: "I thought we managed to do that [make Aston Villa uncomfortable] for much of the game. They are a top team and they resorted to going long with many of their goal kicks. We dominated and controlled the ball and created more than enough chances to win. It's a good step for us.
"It is not easy to create chances in the division. Aston Villa haven't given up many big chances so to create the chances we did showed the boys are growing into it. The next step is taking a couple more. We are showing that we are an improving side.
"Four games unbeaten doesn't come easily in the Premier League. It is a fantastic first step and we still feel there is a lot of improvement to come."
On Liam Delap: "It was another good day for Liam Delap, he does really well and he takes a lot of credit. But the team at 2-1 down never dropped their heads and we were always competitive in the game.
"I think there's loads to come [from Delap], I still don't think fitness-wise he is anywhere near the level he can get to after a big injury at the end of last season. The impact he has had and all-round play, and to have so much growth left in him, we are rally happy to have him here.
Image source, Getty ImagesIpswich Town midfielder Kalvin Phillips has been speaking to Sky Sports following today's draw: "It was a good point and I feel like we dominated in the second half.
"We really took it to them and they really struggled to deal with us and we were unlucky not to score at the end."
Team-mate and goalscorer Liam Delap added: "It was really good and we showed what we are about from minute one and we created so many chances.
"It was a really good result for us and we probably deserved the win after the second half performance.
"I think it’s the fourth time we’ve got something from a game so we are happy."
Image source, Getty ImagesLiam Delap became the first Ipswich Town player to score a brace in a Premier League match since Marcus Bent in March 2002 (v Newcastle United) and the youngest to do so in the Premier League for the Tractor Boys (21y 234d).
