Here's every word from Dean's press conference at Lotus Training Centre...
On the two-week Winter break and getting the chance to work on tactics...
"It was good because it was on the back of a couple of wins, so that always helps! It was nice to get a break and the lads had earned a few days off because of their performances.
"It just helped everybody recharge their batteries a little bit. It's also allowed a few of our injured players to come back and we're nearing to a fully fit squad now, which is pleasing.
"Although they earned six days off, it wasn't six on the spin. They had three days off after the Watford game, then were back in for three and then were off for three again. We've had a full week now of training.
"We did some really good work in and out of possession, in terms of our identity and how we want to be seen to play with our style, and we've given them some problems to solve during training and they've come up trumps, so it's been a really fruitful week.
"I've always tended to do that because, with the modern footballer, if you give them six days off, they'll be travelling to all parts of the world and you don't quite want that. Where we are in the table, I don't think we deserve that and the players are aware of my thoughts.
"It was always my thought to give them a small enough break to feel like they've had a break, but then make sure that they're still coming in on the Tuesday knowing that there's work to be done on the training ground.
"It's worked really well to have had two breaks over both weekends to refresh and get back to normal work."
On wins going into the break and using the FA Cup to build belief ahead of the fourth round...
"There's always been the belief. The hard part was going through the run of defeats that we had, but we were also very aware that we had eight or nine players out injured at the time, so it wasn't a true reflection of ourselves.
"Getting those performances and victories, but more importantly the likes of Josh Sargent and Adam Idah getting their first Premier League goals, just gives them individually a big lift.
"I always say to players before any cup game 'you get three opportunities to win something a season. If you have a good career, there still aren't many opportunities to win something and this is one of them, the FA Cup.'\
\
"It's a big competition and I've said to our players that you only play five or six games to get to the final, so what an opportunity you've got and one we're looking forward to.
"I know it's an all Premier League clash and Wolves are in really good form, but it's one that we're looking forward to.
"Supporters love a cup competition and a good run. There's still a big tradition of the FA Cup and supporters want to see their team going out to try and win it. We will be trying to do that.
"I'm also a big believer in that momentum. Going to Charlton and not playing as well as we could, on a run of defeats at the time, getting that win broke that sequence and we've just won back-to-back Premier League games.
"We're looking forward to Wolves and hoping to progress.
"Milot needed the minutes against Charlton and he got his first goal for the club, but if anybody wants to know how important the FA Cup is to supporters, have a look at our fans in Charlton. They travelled in their numbers and were happy to see a goal that they hadn't seen for a while but also a win."
On Todd Cantwell going to AFC Bournemouth on loan...
"We were all hoping that Todd could recapture the form that we'd seen in the previous Premier League campaign. I gave him a start in my first game and we've been working very hard with him, but unfortunately he didn't recapture that form.
"He felt it was the right time to go and get some games elsewhere. He wasn't in the squad at the time because of his form. Whether that be down to a lack of confidence, I don't know, but it certainly wasn't a lack of attitude.
"I found him to be a really good, young player to work with who had a good attitude. He just hadn't recaptured that form for whatever reason.
"He had had a couple of injuries and illnesses in my two and a half months here, but there were just other players in front of him at the time.
"It's disappointing for all parties that we couldn't recapture the form, but it wasn't for a lack of effort. We hope he goes and does that now at Bournemouth. It is what it is and we have to concentrate on the here and now and who's playing well.
"Each player has their own individual career to look after, and Todd thought it was best for him to move at this stage and we agreed.
"We've had a few chats already since I've come to the club and for me it's small steps at a time. In your first day in training, try to be in the top five players, then continue that and how many consecutive days can you be in the top five?
"All of a sudden, you're getting back to full confidence.
"I played him against Southampton and he came off at half-time because he wasn't up to the speed of things.
"Having spoken to him, he hadn't trained with the first-team for about a month before we got in there, so we had to get him up to speed fitness wise and he had a couple of problems with illness and injury.
"He just needs to keep his head down and work hard. There's a talented footballer there, we all know that. He knows my thoughts and it's a day-by-day process.
"It's a loan with an option for Bournemouth, but if that's not exercised and he comes back, he's a Norwich player."
On Josh Sargent's goals against Watford and their impact on American Norwich fans...
"It's a big thing for both him and Adam the week before getting their first Premier League goals. He's concentrating on the overnight stop to get some sleep after having a newborn baby.
"We made significant signings during the summer, Josh being one of them. We knew he had the potential and had to wait for him to integrate and find his feet, which he has done. I think his performances have been good.
"What he's needed is the goals and he's got them now against Watford in the last game and it will certainly give him a big boost as well as his other teammates. It's a big confidence boost.
"The beauty of Josh is he's so young. People fail to realise he's only 21-years-old and it's his first Premier League experience this season, so he's adapted really well and is starting to get the rewards now for his hard work.
"I haven't tried the scorpion kick. That's not for me!"
On midfield options, formation flexibility and Normann and Gilmour returning...
"I want my players to be adaptable and be able to play different formations for different games. Having the options now allows us to do that. We didn't have them to us before, so we played with the players we had.
"The system ended up fitting the players, so to speak. Now we've got the options and can change it around a little bit, which is great for us.
"Mathias, I knew about him before I came to the club and had been impressed with his performances. He played very well in my first game against Southampton and then had to come off 30 minutes into the Wolves game. It's great to have somebody of his quality back.
"With Billy Gilmour, we know the potential he's got. He's such a young player with such experience already and a Champions League winner at that. To have that calibre of players coming back is really good for us.
"They'll both want to be getting minutes. It's a fine balancing act for us as a coaching group to make sure that they're getting the right minutes to be ready for the upcoming Premier League games as well."
On using the FA Cup as an opportunity for players to return from injury...
"It's always a balancing act because, first and foremost, we want to win a football game and get through to the next round of the FA Cup. To do that against an in-form Premier League team, you've got to be playing players who are in form.
"I'll be looking at our players and choosing the ones which I feel can go and play a three-game week, which is pretty much what we've got, but also balancing out which players can play and which need some minutes.
"Hopefully we can get the balancing act right. That's the art of being the head coach. We'll have a strong team tomorrow.
"When I first came in, my remit is to try and keep us in the Premier League and we know the importance of that, but for me, the FA Cup is important to players in their careers, the fans, and the football club.
"If you can go and win a trophy, it's such a good feeling for everybody. I believe you can go and do both. The fact that it's at the end of our Winter break has given us a chance to recharge and we can handle a three-game week.
"I've played Wolves already in my second game as the head coach at Norwich. You can't not be impressed with the work Bruno has done there. They've got really good balance in terms of their structure and how they play, with and without the ball.
"They fully deserve where they are in the league at the moment. It's going to be a tough game, but we played really well against them and gave them some problems at home, so hopefully we can do so again."
On being nominated as the Premier League Manager of the Month for January...
"I said during December how tough that was with the players that we had unavailable. We got some players come back and had some really good performances during January.
"West Ham was a tough game against a form team at the time, and I didn't think there was an awful lot in that game.
"It's great for the players and all the staff to have back-to-back wins and we're looking forward to going to a form team.
"Bruno Lage has done fantastic with Wolves."
On whether he'd have wanted to do any business in January...
"Whether I wanted to or not, I knew the remit coming here that we wouldn't be doing anything in January.
"When I first came, I felt that we had a large squad anyway. It's a touch on the big side, but we've needed that with the amount of players being out.
"Now, we're in a period where I've got four top-class players coming back with high potential and that feels like they're all new signings because we've had a tough December without them.
"The window is there for people to go and spend. We all know, bringing players into a club, there's an integration period. Players can hit the ground running straight away, but it's very rare that everybody does. They'll all have that to contend with.
"We had a significant investment into new players in the summer. On top of that, myself coming in two and a half months ago was another change for the football club and players to adapt to, a new management style so to speak.
"The lads know now what I require and the standards that I want. We're in a good rhythm at the moment and it's up to other clubs to try to find that rhythm."
On what it takes to stay up in the Premier League...
"We haven't worked on a specific target to keep us up. We just look at a batch of matches. In the last three matches, we had a target. I'll set a target for the next three matches now as well in the Premier League and FA Cup.
"There are teams that we can draw in. I'm not sure which ones, but there are teams above us that we can target. We just have to keep trying to win games and if we do, we'll claw them closer to us.
"I don't believe it will be three from four. I believe there will be more in it."
