What's the latest injury news?
"We're okay. We've got a few people with knocks and bruises like all clubs and a bit of sniffles here and there, but overall I think we're fine."
Preparations been affected by the weather?
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't. Obviously we've not got an undersoil heated pitch here, but overall we've managed. Been able to train, been outside everyday but it's been really cold as we wll know.
"You can see everyone has been training in the snow for the last few days aswell, we're no different."
Any snow sessions?
"There has been a bit of that aswell, but the players are fine."
How big is this game against Swansea City?
"I think ever since I've come in, every game seems to have been a really big game and to be fair, we've handled them well. We've played well and picked up some good results, but we've got to be mindful of how well Swansea have done in the last six to eight weeks.
"It's a tough game for us going there, but we've had some good results away from home and I hope we can continue that."

What have you made of Swansea's resurgence under Carlos Carvalhal?
"That's football. That's why I don't think even at the moment there should be focus on West Brom being isolated.
"I think there's enough games still to stay up and while there's still enough games to stay up all the teams are in with a great chance. Every game is going to be really important, obviously the home games are important to most clubs. We've got a few home games to come aswell which we have to try and use to our advantage.
"There's also been a lot of draws at the bottom end of the table as well, so we know if we keep picking up points we will hopefully be a Premier League club next season."

Thoughts on the overall relegation battle?
"It's the tightest it's been since I can remember that's for sure. I do think that the bottom of the table is tightening up a lot more and the top of the table is getting further away. I don't think anyone can guarantee they are going to be okay.
"The newly promoted clubs come up with momentum. You see that with Huddersfield and Brighton for example and I think that those clubs coming up have made it difficult for other teams aswell.
"There's a fight on and it looks as if it could go to very the end of the season."
Update on your future at West Ham?
"It's got nothing to do with making my mind up. I've said right from the start that we won't make any decision - me or the club - until after the end of the season and more importantly won't be making any decision until we find out whether we are a Premier League club or not.
"From that point-of-view I don't think we've changed anything, certainly my views haven't changed on it and the conversations with the club have been very good. We are preparing for next season, getting things in place which you would have to do at this time of the year but I don't think we've changed from what was said right at the start."
How have you found the job so far?
"I'm enjoying the club. I'm enjoying working with the people around it. I also think the supporters have been great, I've got to say the supporters since I've been here have been good. They've realised we need their support and backing and they've been with the team - long may that continue."

Contract update on Manuel Lanzini?
"You always want to keep your best players but there's no truth into what you're saying and we won't look at that until we know what league we are in."

Thoughts on the cancelled protest?
"Well, we want everybody together and I think that to give West Ham the best chance, for us to start competing again and trying to be challenging some of the top teams in the future then I think we need everybody together.
"We need the supporters with us. I don't know all their grievances but what I do know is since I've been here is I've really enjoyed the effort they've put in here in helping us - both away from home and at home - and I'm going to need them between now and the end of the season.
"We've got a lot of work to do to make sure we're a Premier League team and the more they get behind us the better."

Thoughts on VAR?
"I didn't see the game but I heard about the incidents and I do think it is teething problems. I do hope we get it. I don't want the game to be stopped for every single decision but every time something goes wrong you're going to be questioning it.
"I do think we talk too much about referees in all the punditry at the moment and nearly every decision is brought up. We should be more interested in the football, the style, the players, how the game is played than worrying about the decisions too much."

Eddie Jones situation.
"Firstly let me say I'm a really proud Scotsman and I apologise to Eddie Jones for any behaviour any Scottish supporters had because that does not represent our public. We're really passionate about our country, but to go to tha extent is completely wrong.
"But I do know that because I'm in that position, it has happened to myself on numerous occasions as well, so you have to try and avoid it as much as you can and stay away from it."
What did you learn from Swansea's win over Sheffield Wednesday?
"Well not so much from Swansea beating Sheffield Wednesday because they left several players out of their team that would start. What you've seen from Swansea is that they have improved there's no doubt about that and they have gained confidence - which is a little bit like ourselves when we came in, we gained confidence from some good results.
"They had some incredible results against Arsenal and Liverpool, they picked up some really good points which would have been unexpected really in a way.
"They've got a good record at home so we know we're in for a difficult game."

Any positives from the Liverpool defeat?
"I took positives from parts of our first-half performance. The big thing for us was we didn't reach the standards of what we hoped we would get.
"In the future I want to compete against them, I thought that we only competed for 45 minutes. I don't feel as if we competed in the second half."

Travel plans for Swansea?
"The Met Office is saying people shouldn't travel, people shouldn't go on the roads and travel especially through Cardiff and down the M4.
"It is a concern at the moment and I'm guessing it shouldn't be any different for football teams and fans. If they're saying don't travel I think the Premier League may need to look at that.
How crucial is the Swansea match?
"It's an really important game for both clubs, we know that getting another three points gets us closer to the safety point, but we also know that there's plenty of games to come. Every game is going to be built up as really important and the most important was is the next one.
"Swansea is the next one and it's really important for us to go there and get something out of the game."
