Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak has hailed the impact of manager Tony Pulis.
Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has backed Pulis to be Manager of the Year if he keeps Palace in the Premier League for the first time in their history - and Jedinak agrees.
"Absolutely - he is a winner," stated the midfielder. "It didn't take me that long to figure that out. He wants to win and win every single thing.
"As a player you want to be around someone who is hungry and determined to do well and gets results to get you to where you want to be. That was something we needed. Having that clear picture of what is wanted helps out massively.
"He has done a fantastic job - enough to get a nomination for Manager of the Year in my opinion.
"We are all enjoying the challenge. By no means is it over yet but it has got us to where we are and it has given us a fighting chance of achieving what we want to achieve."
