He said: "We want them to settle down.
"We want them just to do what they do best, they're great lads.
"I understand that sometimes there can be interest but this is a great club.
"You want harmony, and I'm not saying there's been any agitation at all but sometimes you can lose a little bit of focus.
"We just want them to get back on it and concentrate on the job that lies ahead.
"At the end of the day they're good players, and once they realise what excitement and what we have in store this season hopefully that will persuade them to knuckle down now and really concentrate on the job at hand."
