After Tuesday's game, caretaker boss Lee Bowyer praised the Frenchman’s performance but said that he needs to add a ‘nasty streak’ to his game.
And speaking following Bowyer’s comments, Sarr explained how his new teammate is helping him to become nastier on the pitch.
“Now we have Lyle - he tries to pin me in training every day – and he says he’s going to change me into Pearcey,” Sarr smiled.
“It’s helping to change me and Lee is not the first manager to say that I need to improve this. Hopefully this season I can change.
“It’s not in my nature to be like that but I am working hard every day to change and improve. I want to change and I know that I have to because otherwise I am making things difficult for my teammates. I know how important it is for me to change.”

What a lovely lad.
Go bite their legs, Nasty Sarr.
Somewhere in there is a potential really good player, hope we see it at Charlton.
Agree with the article that he does need to develop a ruthless streak. If there is then there's a player there
Only inside Naby's head is there any problem.
If he can concentrate better and become more decisive, there's a real player in there.
But wouldn't it be great if you weren't?
He got better last season but at times he still looked like a player with considerable physical attributes and no clue how to use them. Glad to hear the coaches see that too and are at him over it. As we keep saying, he’s really got everything he needs to play at a much higher level, and in fact has done. Hopefully this season and Bowyer can be the ones that finally tease all the talent out of Naby.
Despite the fact I thought he was utter toilet 2 seasons ago, I’d love to see him do well for us. Probably just in time to leave on a Bosman!
He is a physical presence, has good skill, can ping a long ball, has a shot on him. Most importantly, an error in his tackling or marking would be a little less critical because there would be defenders behind him.
