Tonight’s game will see two changes we are told, as to who they are ? Well one has to be up front and one in midfield. We shall see. If anyone is worried about getting a seat in the ground, don’t be. There will be plenty of room.

Luke Williams, after a completely shattering performance on Saturday at Middlesbrough has said little since bar a selected few words. : "It doesn't have to be a spectacular performance but it needs certain elements to the performance to show the fans they are being respected. Maybe the players don't realise the importance of applying yourself to the maximum in every moment of the game. I have to convince them of that. I have to convince them that every single time we go on the pitch we have to play properly. We can get beaten, we can get beaten by a great team or something like that, or because you are unlucky on the day or whatever, but you cannot beat yourself in that way."

Sounds ok, but it remains just words.
