Mark Hudson: "We’ve spoken about it with the players. We have spoken about how important it is to this club. The derby. We’ve showed them what it means to the fans to show passion and pride in the game.
"We should play with passion and play with pride and understand what it means to the club and its fans.
"We have pointed it out to them. Spoken about how much it means to us all, the staff, the fans, the history of the game. We wanted to do that. It means everything to me."
