I know if I have played well or badly. I always ask my dad, and he tells me straight.

Sometimes maybe it just doesn't go right in the game, but that's football, and I think I'm definitely improving game by game, and getting more experience is good.

I would advise that if you can get out on loan and play football, it is the best path to go down.

Places like Wrexham and Southport, when there are not that many people there, were tough. You are a young lad, and you're having abuse hurled at you.

I wasn't going to McDonald's every week, but a nice pizza after three points isn't a bad way to have it.

I was growing up watching Rooney as an England legend and as one of the top players in England in my lifetime.

My mam and dad have brought me up well.

It means a lot to be voted for awards by the fans and your team-mates.

I've been critcised for going with my top hand, but as long as you save it, that's all that counts.

Every chance I've had, I've grabbed the chance to wear the No. 1 shirt.

I did a lot of lower league, and in lower league, you're not going to be playing out from the back; you're going to hit it long and try to get the second ball.

I always wanted to be going out on loan and playing football and maturing as a goalkeeper.

Freak mistakes happen sometimes as a goalkeeper that if you make them, then it's always going to bite you.

It's my job to be a goalkeeper and keep the ball out of the net, and that's what I've done. I've kept a clean sheet.

You don't want to get too comfortable if you're winning and start trying to be a number 10.

Petr Cech has been a top keeper in the Premier League for the last 10-12 years. When you're growing up, you see him making these saves week in, week out. He's probably been the most consistent goalkeeper in these last 10 years in the Premier League, so you can't give him too much criticism.

There is always a case as a goalkeeper, if you make an error, it will lead to a goal.

I've got power and agility. I don't care if I'm not the biggest keeper; I've got the power and agility to get around the goal, and I'm very good at it.

I'd travel to Alfreton for games, and my dad, Lee, would drive. I'd eat my pre-match meal in the back. Mam would make chicken and pasta, and she'd stick it in a tub.

It's the little things you remember. My mam, Sue, would take me to training in a taxi when I was a kid if Dad, who is a builder, had to work on a Saturday morning. You look back at the stuff like that and realise the sacrifices were all worth it.

Sometimes I was getting bored playing in youth games and in the reserves; I didn't think it was challenging. I always wanted to be challenged and better myself.

Sometimes you can't help conceding as a keeper, but that's the whole reason you are there.

I've been a professional since I was a 17-year-old, over 200 league games from Conference all the way up to the Premier League now, so I think that's experience in itself.

When there are just 500 fans inside a ground, you can hear everything they say, every little word that is getting said. So that is what turns you from a kid into a man.

I remember going for a drink of water, and one old bloke shouts, 'Hey you, young lad! Your grandad is under that grass!' I just turned around to him, gave him the thumbs up and said: 'Nae problem!'

I never put myself under any pressure or anything. I embrace the moment, play in the moment, and I feel strong. Nothing fazes me; I just want to be myself.

I train hard every day in the gym and on the pitch to show what I can do on a match day.

Criticism doesn't affect me. It just makes me want to be better.

As long as you are set and in the right position, you give yourself the best opportunity. It's all about the crucial timing of a save, but it's also being in the right position at the right time.

You know yourself if you are doing well, and I think my form shouldn't be getting questioned.

If you're not ambitious, there's no point in playing football.
