Cole said, "This is the first time ever I've had 15 games back to back in my whole career. Curbs has given me the opportunity to do so. I'm so happy right now and I couldn't be in a better place.
"Everyone needs a manager who will stick by them through thick and thin, and usually players do find that a manager like Curbs is like that.
"Curbs was saying to me after I missed a chance against Fulham: 'Don't forget what you've done. I know you're disappointed, but you can't let that affect you. What you've done for the last three months has been good'.
"I took that with a bit of pride. Deano linked up well against Fulham. It's not been like that in past games, but we were linking up. Right now it's exciting times for us and hopefully we can progress."
