Chelsea boss Graham Potter is grateful to the players for the way they've supported him since his arrival.
The Blues have now won four consecutive games in October, scoring 10 goals and conceding just once in the process.
"It was a surreal start, in terms of the death of the Queen, games called off, international break, my first game in the Champions League," Potter explained.
"There were lots of things to get my head around quickly, but as I've said before, I have got to be really thankful to the players. They have been really receptive and open and honest. We are starting to build a nice relationship.
'We have quite a few games in a short space of time now, and we've had to use the group as wisely as possible, which we've done," added Potter.
"I've been really impressed with the guys. Their attitude has been fantastic. There are a few lads who still haven't had gametime, but that's not necessarily because they've done anything wrong, you can only field 11. The focus is to go game to game and keep progressing. We're not at the maximum in terms of where the team is at. There's more to come."
