Obviously, I was aware of it as it involved myself. In terms of me and the way I work, I just get on with it and get on with my job.
"I spoke to Bully [former caretaker manager Lee Bullen] about it, but I’ve always been committed about doing my job here. Whenever I put on a shirt for Wednesday, I always give my most. I am enjoying my football and am back in the team now.
“Obviously, I have only got until the end of the season and it is out of my hands really.”
