Manager Comments
Gareth Ainsworth - “So far I am really pleased with where we are, but we are only one game away from a defeat and we don’t want it to happen this week, we don’t want it to creep in or catch you unawares, so we will be super prepared and the boys have showed me some good stuff in training this week."
Ian Holloway - "I am not surprised they are on a run. Hopefully we will be the better team and score more goals than them."
