“They didn’t have many injuries at the start of the season, they took Bradford to the cleaners and they beat York.

“And then, as the weeks have passed they have had good starting players who have been unavailable for them but, again, it is about concentrating on ourselves and seeing what team we can put out.

“We are going to have players playing out of position and players who are unfamiliar.

“If we start worrying about the opposition, you will struggle to get your own performance in order.

“Our players need to get to know each other first. It is tough but that is going to be our focus again, it has to be.”
