Saturday 29th October 2022. ko 3:00pm
Mark Hudson:
“We’ve got to get the right result at the weekend with another home game on Wednesday. They’ll come thick and fast, we’re focussed on Rotherham and we want to get the result at home.
“We know what they’re about; it’s going to be a physical game and we’re going to have to be right at it. We’re going to have to stamp our authority on it and show our intensity, which is something that we’re looking forward to.
“We have to show a reaction from the week that we’ve had, and get a positive result from Saturday.
“The lads have been training at a high level all week. They all want to be on the pitch this weekend, and that’s all that we can ask for.
“They know what’s to come in the coming weeks, that it’s going to take everyone. The players will have to be available and ready when they’re called upon.
“We’ve been working on the areas that we can improve upon, and now we’re looking forward to returning home and playing Rotherham in front of our fans."
