Coach Darren Davies: "As coaching staff, we always focus on performance and individual development but our results are something the boys are aware of. 

"They’re young men who want to win.

"We’re developing a good environment and, most importantly, a good learning environment. There’s a shorter turnaround now between games.

"Sheffield United will come down here and they are a very good side who are doing very well in their league and that will be a good test for us."

Midfielder Dan Watts: "We’re looking forward to playing Sheffield United. They’re doing really well in their league so it will be a really good challenge for us. 

"We will just keep trying to play as we have been and not come away from our principles."
