Steve Bone

Don't think he'll score.

And I think we've got our tails up a little bit with these new people in the squad at the moment.

Don't know which of the new boys we're going to see at Preston.

Two or three of them probably on the bench in addition to those who played last Saturday.

And I think we're going to come back from deep down with a nice point.

Well, we're between reflections on the Southampton game, aren't we, last Sunday?

And looking ahead to two, in a way, even bigger games than that.

Because if you take away the derby element of last weekend, as the games go by now,

with our situation near the bottom three.

You're not in the bottom three, luckily.

You know, the crunch games get bigger and bigger, don't they?

Get more crunchy, if you like.

And actually, I was thinking after the Southampton game,

I don't know if everybody felt like this, but because of all the narrative to that game, you kind of forgot that that was an important championship game because of our situation, didn't you, for a while?

It was almost as though that was separate to the rest of the league campaign.

It mattered.

and it mattered whether we won, drew or lost, but it didn't seem to matter as much in the context of the relegation situation and the table.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, it was almost like a cup, not quite like a cup tie, but that sort of feel where you can sort of park the...

the whole league situation and the campaign and the worries just to concentrate on that game.
