Pre-Match Comments
It’s another league game and another opportunity to pick up three points. We’re in a good position at the moment, mo matter the result we’ll still be top come close of play.
But for the players and staff, make no mistake they are up for the derby. They want the bragging rights and to put in a good performance for the fans.
It’s about channelling that energy in the right way and making sure we play in the manner we want.
