MATCHDAY QUOTES
"Unless you can command the midfield you are putting pressure on both your attack and defence.
"We had to leave three players back in Birmingham and there were three out on the park who were already injured.
“We have done magnificently this season to be in the position we are in despite the injury problems."
Ron Saunders.
