Long B.B.C. Radio Sheffield. Yes good afternoon and welcome to the riverside a sunny Riverside a little chilly but not too cold whatsoever we were at 12 John New some with us this afternoon as he's not too well today so get well soon John will bring the full much life from the Riverside of Middlesbrough against Sheffield Wednesday in very shortly just out of interest coast to changes to date for chef you was a whole chinks in abundance in for on him and tell you pesky that means Westwood and Will Johnson start together in the 1st team the 1st time they see. Eason but when was the last time that they both started together will tell you a half possible let's go 2 weeks isn't football have a we'll put it on social media as well the last time that someone cheats and Keira Westwood started in the Shane same Sheffield Wednesday side all sorts at the other side of Sheffield though City May 6th off the 23 game Sheffield United a half way to achieving a play off place but Chris Well The knows will need to take to take the next step for a shot at the Premier League not shortly but 1st ahead of today's home much against Abi county how proud is the blades boss about how far he's taken the same over the last couple of years and he surely proper out of love working for the football club I want to thank you for that said all along and vision is to use to work in the Premier League personally and with Sheffield United so I. So I will keep going and keep and keep working and keep improving. But as I said it's not he's each win games it's not easy to engage consistently it's not easy to be at the top of the division. But we've we've obviously changed changed a lot of things are the last 2 and off he is and I'm OK looking to drive it forward as I said you know it sometimes disappoints me and for strikes me that maybe people look look at look. Look at it and different Why. Maybe look what we've last few people down I don't see that way it's all I think we've given a lot of people some some some decent memories and decent moments and we're looking to get to do that you know the players of of come a very very long way in a short period of time and and we'll keep trying to keep trying to go forward in and drive it forward does this how similar a record you've got to Dalby into the league next week for the title show how far away that Geoff Wood Johnson of call the you all are in and around the things only 4 points behind West Brom. Yeah and that of a few other clubs and beyond a couple of other clubs as well so after 23 games you know that Darby trying to find a lot of change obviously through the summer with the manager coming in and the players coming in and I think I've done extremely well as well. That they've obviously been in and around this division for a long time and and been in the Premier League and you know been in player finals and class semifinals you know it's a really powerful football club but they'll be saying the same things you know just because of the name and and what you've got doesn't guarantee results and they've got to officially not for their results. The game down there was it was it was a great game of football we're disappointed that we we didn't get results. But as I keep saying it is just a really competitive lakes you know Darby County and I'm sure will will be in and around the end of the season but think they'll be saying exactly the same things as what's worse I think you got some unfinished business from that game a proper park and how it panned out in the end it was it was it was a little bit frustrating because we we obviously got off to a terrible start. No surprise that sells off the canvas and car self back into the guy for we dominate the 1st half and I've got to say they they they they dominate the 2nd half and maybe when you look bike. That's one of the things that we definitely need to improve in the 2nd part of season is when we're on top and teams to bad and when teams have that little bit of pressure on us that we stand for and get something from the game because you know obviously it was a way for Darby County. Fail on the balance apply possibly a draw mob in a fair result but you know you have to credit them for. A win in a tight game and maybe that's what we need we need to do a little bit more than we have to be specially recently come a little bit extra come from within the group you've got or is not going to be dependent on what happens in January while keep pushing the growth keep pushing the group keep giving them opportunities and keep driving them forward and said you know they've got enough int to be ashamed off there you know that that is. Disappointed in the recent results as is possibly anybody else's because they care and. They want to do well for themselves as well as just a football club saw you know that they'll keep the keep working odd and they're really good group to work with but there's no doubt if we do do money to watch I don't little bit of color into the group we will be stronger in its 2nd part the season in these There's no reason why we can't replicate our performances and better all results in the 2nd part the season and as you said cystic like you know that if we don't then we will go close to again in the playoffs which or even bad you don't know what's around the corner you know you can look at look at it from all different angles you know from below where teams are you look at those. From last year and where following where and where Millwall to where they ended up and swear at the clubs and it up and I think can happen in this division I think that's why I said about it being so to call any of the games and you have to do a lot of things right so in games of football is division. The top of the Championship table at the end of. A possible 24. Performances not least in the want to draw. Goals are considered. Really disappointing goals and we're having to work or play really good stuff to get goals and. Keep going. To the halfway stage of them all needful tally 2 points. Lower than we want her to 4 points after you know before Christmas. Which set in that we need to just keep going and make sure we don't do what we did last season drop off and of course off in a good position to. Keep going in 2nd offices or not trusting her about this group that tells you that. I think. Once we. Wish. We could. Make sure we stay as long as we can and our aim to to be in the mix and. Chris was. Along. Really well today without getting a free points. We'll look back and say again which. We haven't got 3 points. Position. At this stage to be where you are right now given the complexity of the Championship and just how many big teams are in it. Big teams and people probably. A little bit disrespectful to the boys and the dresser and I think we're more than capable of. You know being where we are now. We can. Achieve. Additions ingenue could be the. Pleasure we bring in John you have to because you are going to apply because. There were the ones who made a little bit of a difference to make sure we got to pass next up then a game where I get away from him I didn't get what you wanted from it's how he turned things around on Boxing Day and over again what we're after you know. Which our place to stand and make sure we can do and make sure we get the result it's time to slice out games on you know where we've got a chance to beat teams around us we haven't quite done it so it's about time we we've put one of them performances in and get 3 points to Michael on the festive period but I guess it is just something that she's decided she's a little bit different little bit easier. This. Is just. Festive Ganesh I can. That we're all going to be in West Covina. Allowed to live a little bit on Aman and it's time to go to work again against boxing or do you feel a Boxing Day game a little back. Well I plan. On going away. So much that it could be more. Of working at 3 points and enjoy Christmas. For the last time poems leave it he said where they produce the best performance of the season in a full deal with now the Reds a posh city and 6 on 5th respectively with both keen not to lose any more ground on the automatic promotion places his Reds manager Daniel started on his own game and . Is a good team to act directly Congo and from us and we want to and I imagine pizza brew will remember what happened when you played the milli this year for nil when they're placed How much do you have to be wary of and and beyond you know be being good Goodfellow. I think this is a new game start known and. Fall for both teams. I think what the game and. Review showed last week and also district did really. We have. Again every week better performance and I hope we can. Change. Them present to of all support us and. That we've been discussing. Please how you do on last couple of weeks because this is a tough road against 5 teams. To get a points against Portsmouth one against the 3 against Blackpool. Give you lots of confidence going into the pizza beginning. This is as you also when we not win the games. Especially. Him but the other games to be played also good but in the end. We need points we want to. Keep our goal and this is. We want in the top 6 in this leak and yeah and we have to chance of a home game against the home game against child and and Newton and years and new year I think we have all in all a hand and we're going to play a. Very similar to the last games to be we can win this games bit different back in Germany isn't it you know we get a break back home whereas here this is just football football football it's very different today. Germany newspaper German newspaper and a lot of good that we have who asked us so tired of the player and. Say OK yeah yeah ma ma games and I'm happy. That I am joint and you know. It's new but for me it is it's good you're looking for is a. Really really looking for did the situation to be. Celebrated Christmas Day And and then we play on the Boxing Day and we play days later. It's. Been my team can play just as good and just ask about the out of contract this week we are pleased to sign him for a couple more years. Yeah this is I think this is a good decision for. The club. Telling player of the. He can. Develop in a next months and to start. He played to the 1st time in 1st team and scored and then it's normal to have a. Lot of empty. Struggles but in the last week she come we every training was better and he's. More new to it too to fester them. Daniel stunnel plays out the Riverside Stadium nicely filling up of course as you would expect for a Boxing Day fixture old the team used to recap coming shortly 1st of all the Reds to find a lead of Lindsey was restored to the sorts of policies one no one at Blackpool and the games against top sides continue conflict and foster Lindsey agrees matches against the likes of pizza are a good test of where they always a team yes it. Could be good for a moment. But yeah everyone seems to find the plane so I. Know of a tough few couple a few games and. Test ourselves in what we go how important was it to get back to winning ways a Blackpool yeah course most of conditions when. We've got the free points and it's job done really. Yeah I think I'm going to say that the clean sheets are always important for you guys in particular on a day when pitch was called so you know there are lots of balls into the box even defended well as a team Yeah yeah but for brilliant of all of it to everyone was a bit different from the front office and the size and have done. You know just kept going on but going back to our guys but with him in the wood and so. You know get to it and she must've been good feels good to get back into the. Players want to play every week the squad is really healthy at the moment as there were lots of options oh yeah everyone can step and push anyone so. Good photos competition for places Snoopy top your game in there and you have to go back and. Get a clean sheet how much are you guys in enjoying things on the Daniel this season it's been a bit of a different style lots of press in lots of work right but it seems like the team really is moving in the right direction yeah. Different different to most More any of us have really played passion from even from the front. And yet been different but I think of a dot. Each every day. And what I just. Like you can see in results that we didn't just maybe vary but more concise about it that's just fine to feed and them. The season for us to feel like that consistency is coming the more the more and more you get so now that the style the more you get the money and how you play in the course of how to force sex a few months know so and there's no excuses for the. Season I'm sure. And. It's brought pasta last week about underachieving a bit as a group do you feel like Eve possibly should have got a few more points than you've got Yeah yeah of course. Yeah. Growing team. From week one everyone's. Potentially. Going jump ship so we've got a good team and we just know if I would know it all young and as long as we keep our heads. Up show you enjoying your football the moment yeah yeah. Just different day off of play of play the season it's just different I'm usually usually defend more but I'm going to front for years and it's just a drop into the field and I'm sure Tripp is a player and we were taught to Daniel after the flight program about how different Christmas is for than most that the winter break and what was it like as a player over over this time I imagine he so want to do a little bit more rest and relaxation and you get able to do that exactly is tough going. Just came 2nd fast and then yeah but I see a few breaks and stuff but it's not the case. With the games coming so so quickly together it is one of those where you do need to keep on it all the way through it because. Quickly win a few lose if you are he has a big impact on the game's miscarry have seen previous results of to be dropped to 7 before the game and such that he can win in. And also us if we get a few ones who shows her quickly we can grow up so just need to keep in tune and always be great market to the rest of the team to the top let's do the double over pizza broaden and send a message. As Liam Lindsey or just a field send much on base of winning the National League may have come to an end advantage of malts you know and is convinced the side will be able to replicate what like Sinhalese have done next season the Sparts host promotion chasing Soli whole bulls this afternoon with Allen continuing to embrace the youngsters in the side who appeared to have at least halted there a long slide towards the relegation zone. Really well. You know Maguire as well. As another one down in Colombia looks like he's in just. You know the. Guy gets. To grow and develop and evolve similar. And they've recruited very well. In school. And then you've. Come from they used to come through the ranks and that's what we're trying to build. The field. Is going to be absolutely broken like it was it's and I feel oh. Do you get the father you've got players like Levi and what you see coming off the bench you go Joe roll the queen off the bench to fund these plays I just feel bad but of course for the system. Yeah it's good to see the future. Future. Now we're doing very very well with a woman here and. So. That's a little bit frustrating for everybody. Because the girls you go down that's all right but overall we're. Disappointed but plenty of good things to come out. Let's run a poll the team use on they say festive Boxing Day fixture jump but remember we're on until 7 o'clock tonight taking your calls in an extended praise Oh grow below 800 triple in 4949 here at the Riverside 2 changes for the owls Hutchinson and bounden in for on him and Pelley A pass a push in since 1st league start since oldest and we threw this out at the top of the hour when was the last time Keira West won and somewhat since and started it was back in old was 2017 a wall draw against Q.P.R. So what nearly 18 months since the last stop and Westwood in goal of artful palm at least in Fox amid film a tireless abundant Hutchinson a reach well in Fletcher up top the bench Dawson at Foley Boyd knew you on him and Pelley a pest say let's get to bromelain Sheffield united against Darby Mike McCarthy. Pretty straightforward from Chris wilder as he saw it coming against Darby County a point and a place above them in the championships able to handle sitting go there and change the entire 18 of changed Chris bashing Johnny Jack O'Connell the sense of how George bowed out right when back and Stevens left wing back in midfield nor was play Duffy behind David McGoldrick up front as the bench more Stephen Johnson Craney and Co Washington can place in the 80 percent was united against up we can see it from a light on I am a digital radio today's Bolton against Rod very much shows that the university of Bolton stadium the one change made by Paul wanted Jimmy proc to come into the side of Paul Ryan money and through it I can go all about for a vine a Joey. Board bolt towel a new will into midfield for we are partnering me on the bench price Ward Taylor money in Williams while Rocket. Into League One of Bun's Lee at home against Peter Bergen a top end of the table clash with Joe Townsend It's oh cool. As you say they start the day 2 points behind Peterborough in the final playoff place but it's a win the last to do it without top score a key for Moore who isn't even on the bench but they do have kenny do go back after 2 months out of the starting 11 because of injury Davis in gold cabaret Penick Lindsey and Penny else at the back do go him again and now it's in midfield pots Bordereau and as the front 3 on the bench had. Jackson. Joe Brown and great tricks. But Tubby on the foul Coast Fleetwood against own custom built cliff Yan with Doncaster on beaten in 8 games try today's trip to Highbury they see no reason to change that side of this one either in lowering goal of back 4 of Cummings on the sim Butler and ANDREW CAIN Whiteman and Crawford is the midfield with Malik Wilkes and James Kopp injured either side of Joe Marquise in attack on the bench Marosi row a most my prior Taylor Blainey days to come of Doncaster against Joey box and sleep would town. Finally to the front spoon have. Finally to the protests in the National League Chesterfield again soley hopeful to like. But I think the Paramount going to drop too much Sherry this Christmas is just white house of fun most appropriate to play at approx 8 stadium this season. MARTIN Our makes 3 changes to try and bring some fun to the long suffering spirals front to enforce After all it's Tom Don't pick to be in your is and the defeat Dorrian want some model to move into the bench in Raleigh but forgot man can read and Michael Nelson to give a lineup of burning goal Evans Nelson Hollis and Bynum Williams across the back of midfield quartet of Rolly Smith Western and Reid a munchie and Shaw the strike force the subs with a sparse anion. Beast in and off work which just a field against some homo. Searchable heaven on B.B.C. Radio should. Follow with a round up of the latest sports news back to the studio which Joe Mitchell thank you in the Premier League lunchtime kick off bottom place fallen have just moved up one place following a one all draw against Wolves at Craven Cottage in the late kick off today Brighton host asked him of 515 and Chelsea play what 730 Meanwhile Leeds Liverpool host Newcastle United at 3 pm Xander Arnold could return today after a 4th injury and 90 years in club saves his side what it takes to intro fees this season. Is always very important but. Because in the past already things finals good positions. So so far we only really did steps together and that's what we have to do. And we will see. Some Boxing Day horse racing for you it's the King George the 6 chasing Kempton Park later previous winners might bite and Thistle crack at taking part alongside native brothers who won the tell them Goldcorp the race begins at 3 o 5 in just half an hour's time a native river jockey Richard Johnson says it will be a classic you know previous winners in the race you've got. All the best horses and I wanted to open. Coming on as well so it is going to be a fantastic race I think you know that it be very hard to choose between the top 5 or 6 in the race the moment but I'm hoping nature river I deftly with him and maybe a stepping stone to help him in cricket it was the opening day of the 3rd Test between Australia and India in Melbourne at the close the tourists were 215 for 2 and their thirst innings kept in very cold it was 47 with church whopper jar on base and on 68 comments led the attack from Australia taking 2 wickets for 40 runs at the M.C.G. And Bassman say they have what it takes to get Kohli on put your out on dates you got to attack the jar stumps early. Any we're comfortable leaving anyone's to leave us comfortable leaving all day and call it the opposite I think you do have to hang in there and make him come to you and hopefully make a mistake in that regard Meanwhile banned Australian cricket said Cameron Bancroft has claimed it was David Warner who encouraged him to tamper with the ball in the L. Feted Cape Town test back in March speaking to Australian T.V. Bancroft said he just wanted to fit in and feel valued in the team he was given a 9 month ban which And this Saturday while Warner and then skipper Steve Smith were banned for a year and in ice hockey Sheffield Steelers goalkeeper goaltender Jason whistle Jackson whistle sorry hopes his recent performances will earn him the start Internet Boxing Day clash against nothing in Panthers the Great Britain international backstop his side to a 32 win over Guildford last weekend I will say these games are the ones that every player wants to be involved in never seen before got to play and it was pretty cool to play in front of $9000.00 around rivers or it's almost already sold out so I'm really looking forward to how he found them as an opponent so far this year it seems like that the 2 teams much are quite well actually I think they're really good seeing the coach really well they play really well with their system and I think now we play them a little while ago more than a year or so excited to see how we're going to show up against me that is bought for me there's more for PM political and P.C. . The. For will have a B.B.C. Radio Sheffield live at the Riverside on the University of Bolton stadium so that 6 games Boxing Day fixtures will look ahead to i Phone and 3 View game now here at the Riverside the owl's out spittles requital of changes today is so interesting. Suspension. Of 1st Dollhouse and from the Sheffield stars alongside me from a fan's perspective dull seeing some Hutchinson Keira Westwood back in the same starting level it's a big thing isn't it it's a huge left that it gives to the tame out and yeah you saw it on Saturday in the press to game the. Names out before kickoff the cheers they were getting and then came in Westwood you know that was his pitch to parents in over a year and he didn't have a lot to do in tree of the sending off changed the game against Preston and when he got the job done in the end I think it's a good move bring Sandwich's him back in he. Hasn't played a lot of football but he's an experienced had and I think in this sort of game against as a side line Middlesbrough who are one of the strongest in the league we've got the best defensive record when they need to be so wait they need to be organized and compact early on and make life difficult possible for Middlesbrough who got some very good technical midfield players and Jonny House of them was outstanding in the reverse pictures so yeah I think that will give them some much needed bites and stale plates only bowling only a 2nd game in cats like a charge he's made some big decisions got the picture that weekend against some men like this will be an altogether different proposition but it's not free to make a call no reason and relay it to me on the winds that leap forward he was part of your sleep because coaching staff didn't agree with the decision to leave out so many of the senior players to immediately it has 2 games can take to bring back in from the cold cave or Westwood sample which instant. Jules Boyd 3 out of 5 who were exiled and do your sleep the last people I think. Of the decision I think is a clever move in so many ways to get the pounds back onside to coast and number 2 right now when they still have to win it we can't move to out the last 11 games so there's been a losing coach to set into this but ball club and when you're getting sucked into I know there's a cushion now of a point between them at the top 3 but when you're in trouble you need to go to I think as a management it's wise to go to the experience heads and the people who've been there and go through a very high some lows in their footballing careers which is what the likes of West would hope chanson Boyd have now we all understand Steve Bruce to be the next money shot Steve Agnew and Steve Clemons were both in the crowd for the Preston game at the weekend. Did you expect some kind of version of those 3 to be in charge of this guy or do you think that Lee Bullard Marc will just keep this wall of the doing well I think the. Point is if it would be Steve argued Steve climate she would be taking charge of least on the touchline today well I think the difficulty with trying to get everything I now know all the permutations and the different elements of detail to get people to comment I think it was difficult over the Christmas period to do that and get it finalized. I'm still expecting that to be an announcement this week so. Before the West Brom match something might get made officially by the club they might put some people and who knows it could be at a West Brom game that we see Stephen climates and Steve back you want to touch time and I would imagine that the pope it's a day I haven't been. Told anything concrete but yeah I know for a fact said Steve active clients they've seen a lot of that say over the last few weeks so they know the strengths and weaknesses of what this team needs to go we get to January as over thank you very much for the House and from the Sheffield Star because to preview the game against Middlesbrough it's a day now the January transfer window is a far away but don't cast a have already been busy striking cable struck a killer and suddenly it will join on New Year's Day Under the old name striker is all the way Rovers boss struck the concept right by actual calling shots of contracts will be extended became slow the extension was sort of last week ahead of their trip to Fleetwood this afternoon we can't say he could have easily headed elsewhere herby could have went to 7 or 8 championship clubs. For 5 top and League One pops but what he believes as he's developing well here Liverpool believes developing well here. And we're delighted to have him here so it's it's a big sign for us so he could have gone to another club in January in the championship 100 percent and what did you say to persuade him to stay here. I think he's just learning this trade better here in terms of playing every week he's having the lessons that the things he probably will be allowed to do in some championship things. And I think this will give him a great grounding for next year and hopefully as with us if it's not with us now you know the boys can have a huge career in the gym and the championship next year. Hopefully lost like I say but if it's not we are some sure one of the big clubs who comes not a game at Highbury going against Fleetwood What do you know about them and show or and they gave you a bloody nose down it didn't they we were we were we actually played well in the day against. We just couldn't the fans from someplace so we conceded to 2 or 3 goals. From separate that day that that killed this. And you know we were we were disappointed. We want to make sure we make you know. The frustration disappoint that we felt after the game we want to make sure we're better than the nickel there so hopefully we can you know we can call them to give it a kinder selves the Achilles heel with the set pieces and you had been completely rectified since then. Yes I think so I think both were shown Hey defensively strong we are from them yes we we we met if you want to say we conceded from the stock for but we had a slip from James Carpenter. You know the other one was a hopeful ball straight into our box that we probably just twitched off with. Wide free kicks corners we haven't conceded for about 8 or 9 games so I think it safely say you know we've made a better they often say that managers represent that side all their side Rimoldi the managers is a fair wage job on inflate what I don't know I mean I'm sure that they be able to rather be in a better position than he is is now I. What the custom the interest players you know the really healthy party modern. Ezekial machine should if we need to be wary of them they've got the process of good experience and as well in the midfield areas you know so it's it's a tough game for us really is but we'll make sure we go there are well prepared well drilled ready to try and get the result and just finally from a year the midway point of the season you're outside the playoffs on goal difference I only watch your summation for the 1st 23 games this league one company . OK waking people we can do a lot more. You know the 2nd half a season I think you'll see a different Doncaster I think you'll see it same that's going to be more stronger more physical be you know be on the front foot more I think we're figuring you know so I think the 2nd offseason we will we will be stronger. Let's turn our attention to our 2 Coventry games starting on I haven't Soloway the West brought much was something of a free for all for today's game at 2nd bottom bolts and even this midpoint of the season could be described as a 6 point so assistant boss Richie Parker how it feels yellow is important we get something out of the game of play I never really buy into the 6 point thing because I've never seen anyone being awarded 6 points for winning a game so I find that very difficult Me I'm sure there's loads of people out there going that's a load of rubbish but I have never seen anyone win 6 points for winning a game so I don't really buy into that. Bet it's another of very tough away games yes they're not in a great run of form. But you know obviously start the season very well we had Yeah I think they are inducted into the championship on a regular basis and their understanding of what's coming up and watching what they're playing against is improving all the time. We haven't got that many established Championship players who've been playing in this league for for years and years so they're learning every day they're getting better every day getting fitter faster stronger every day and hopefully like I say we keep improving then you know the 2nd half will be as successful as The 1st off in terms of Bolton does what Robin did a couple of seasons ago I mean in terms of how they finish the season and show that anything's really possible at this level you know Bolton on a on a Tough for the moment but rather than wear and put in a fantastic one of fixtures Yeah well I would say in less you are mathematically relegated then realistically there's always an opportunity and you know they've they've obviously been through a bit of time over the last few weeks with the off the field stuff which you know Bob. Here's the Riverside this afternoon Sheffield Wednesday defend the totally safe Middlesborough show they all beatable over recent weeks poor of drop points suppressed and what but I'm Q.P.R. In the Championship recently also Pizza Bar League One side person in the league there's no team it's perfect and no team gets really really happy when you no way with it and you can say. That got any faults you look at all the all the sides you know they've all come for a lot there. So yeah. And by same as Bush oh not a little bit recently. As ever I'm sure to be organize our show about how to be because if before a ball was kicked we go well Middlesborough and then perhaps some of the rest maybe not even a knowledge so there may be our evidence of just how strong and unpredictable the championship can be sometimes yeah definitely when you get a confidence. You get out and then too it's hard to stop teams and you see now I know it's in Leeds. It's consistency it ended. Everyone goes through the spell Sheffield been through a little spells Middlesbrough West Brom have been through spells where a couple weeks ago saying you might get sacked and things like. It's just about I think all those teams of hundreds that dip in form better than us I'm not really comparing us to them because we're quite obviously quite far off that level at the moment book it shows that you will have tips in the season when you just gotta try and even out and stay consistent How difficult is it then when you're in that maelstrom to ignore all the kind of the white noise whether it's from the terraces maybe sat in here social media that type of thing when you just need to get you had straight and focus on what you're doing yeah definitely and I think that's part of growing up as a player and a part of an experience like a member and I were younger I used to say every single thing that hurt and to how I think about a new just got me you've got to fix skin really believe in yourself lark I can speak on behalf and you are now sport you just got to believe in your bill and you know that. What you've done in the past or you you know if you train well things like that and believe in yourself because it's not just about when. Bad things off things that you think it's all nonsense and there's been games where this season where we've got. Pray so more come off of pitching care and how can people possibly be saying not like I don't think we were not good I don't think we did this we did that and yeah everybody's boss and I think it's the same at times when you lose games. Like manifest and you had really. You got to critically self and evaluate the self but be clear Got believe in yourself and be strong enough to take it in the US That's power plain for big club you probably not going to please everyone book because I have a confidence and I think I could put a time zone this season and I think I will I were nervous to be playing at home sometimes and you just got to Cape that really new just gotta think you know what's the worst it's going to be happen can happen we've just got a ground play if you stop make thinking about a solution 2 or 3 times rather than just doing the 1st you had that's what's going to happen book it's easier said than done and like I said it's easier to play when you're winning every week. Finally that as we countdown to kick off it was the Riverside Stadium Lieberman leads the Sheffield web state seem again on an interim basis he reckons the same have only given 60 percent of themselves so far she also knows. For me that they're going through a tough spill as well at the moment going through what are time again. I'm going to see similar deals because I think we follow a more disappoint on results table thing but I'm sure that many people says look at the squad of players and I know one that we can produce are a lot better. To be at home in a season so we know it's going to be a very very physical game we know they're big strong physical They're a hard working team. But touched on when talking about the depression Preston for sure that we have ability in the changing room that is possibly showing 60 percent of what they can do and that's not enough. So it's trying to get other 40 percent on the day to go and do it it will be no way to tough games on this season you can look back at developing a similar type of thing you would have probably at the beginning of Season 2 villain but I was maybe the 2 favorites have gone down there and deservedly won the game at Villa so there's no reason we can't go up to there to that have a say then and produce a performance and obviously people question that given the current form but. We know what to do it's probably one of the and that's not been disrespectful because we know with the way that 26 teams Oh it's quite an easy A short opposition to analyze and how you do it but it's very hard to come back when it's done when it comes a ball comes in the box and you nor those people like Flint Dani Barton I ally and friend shorten and people that are going in there listen you've got to be but if you've got to stand up you've got to be physical and be $100.00 outside of it and then in the other part of it you've got to be brave on the ball be able to pass the ball and hopefully we can cause him problems at the other end of the park as well so it's a great game it's not too far away for the funds to travel while the stadium Sophos is always good and their twenty's are always good value in the sailings as well saw as its own I mean. A good books in the fixture and perhaps given the fact that they're not in the best form at the moment says a bit about the championship right now because yes Middlesborough you the gun look easy top 2 pugilists and all that they have at their disposal They've slightly off that particular patient but again we touched on it earlier it's it can change so quickly all it takes is one result. They're going through a sticky spell at the moment but we know what they've got in their squad we know the qualities we know are qualities if they play well and we play well is going to be a hell of a game. But I think. That's a coaching staff will see that but the teams could be doing better shall we say and a half term report. But Wolf Wolf Wolf had good games against them in the past over the past 2 or 3 years and. I think it's a great game it's a big big test for anybody to go up there and yet any sort of results on scent of the match it Hillsborough it was relatively evenly matched in terms of the nuts and bolts of all the mistakes again. We touched on a defensive record this season and I think majority goals we look up will come down to mistakes. And you can talk about our. Oh you want you can point 0 in video analysis you can see she did on the she did on the movie comes the like a split 2nd decision on what you do do you close the mind and would you stay in a space do you go when the head or do you let it burns do you so is erotic in those mistakes and ultimately 9 times or 10 and if it will March that to me is less mistakes and only goes on and wins again other than a bit of bad luck or good luck depending which would phones number one.
