Bristol City next, a Severnside derby, it will be a big game? 

Every game gets bigger. It’s our neighbours and I’m looking forward to a good atmosphere.

It should be a good game with both teams trying to get points. They are improving and they are adjusting in the division.

They are investing in a couple of players. They’ve got a system they have played under Steve for a long time.

They know their jobs and are efficient. They are adjusting to life in Championship.

What are you memories of derby matches? 

They tend to be unpredictable. It’s important to distance yourself from all that’s around you, but they are important to fans.

You can go in the next morning to work with the bragging rights. But it’s important we focus on our game-plan.

But there is always added intensity and awareness of taking the three points.


The big one at Sheffield United was Wednesday, at Notts County it was Forest, at Orient the London clubs and at Colchester it was Southend.

They do add more to a game. Bristol City is a big one for the fans, but it’s important we focus on doing our jobs.
