From The Gaffer
Allsebrook said: “Derby are a big football club which is well run, they have a lot of depth in their squad which they had last year. I thought we played well against them last year; they really play on a sides weaknesses where you are maybe not quite as effective and they’ve got good enough players to take advantage of that. We know we have to be as well rounded as we can. We’ve found it hard to play against really good strikers but recently we have defended so much better in recent games. They’ll offer us a real challenge but we know we have the players to threaten them too.
“We got a good win last weekend, but we know it’s going to be a really tough challenge on Sunday which we have to be ready for. It’s a momentum type of league – you can put a run of a few games together. We’re a young group but once we find that consistency to the level we know they can get to. Last weekend was a real high point for us and now it’s about showing we can do that again; even if we don’t get on the right side of the result it’s about how we performed.”
