Boss hoping to continue feel-good factor...
THE RUN that we've been on is certainly putting smiles on people's faces. It's a good time for the club to be celebrating its 125th Anniversary and we look forward to Saturday's game.There's sure to be another large, vocal crowd in attendance to create an excellent atmosphere as we the case in our last game. On that occasion the tempo of the game was certainly generated by the atmosphere and the backing that we received helped us.
We face a Sheffield United side that are very much in the promotion race. They are a big club with high expectations, so we know that it will be a tough test for us.
But it is one that we face with relish. Sheffield United have kept eight clean sheets in the last nine games so we know that they will be difficult to break down, but we have proven what we are capable of.
We've had some great encounters against them in recent years. We were unfortunate to lose at their place earlier in the season when we were reduced to ten men early on yet still created enough chances to have taken something out of the game.
Last season we beat them here, so hopefully we can get a repeat of that this time around.
