I know they love seeing the younger players do so well. Now we come up against JT and the boys and it levels out slightly. Im delighted to go up against John and Dean (Smith). I have huge respect for Dean as a manager and John as well. If there is anyone we are going to up against, so be it. Hopefully we win and if we dont I will shake their hands and wish them very well with the connection weve got. We are both trying to do the same thing and be successful.This game is a bit of a crucial moment obviously. Im pleased Im going up against someone like John as it means hes had a great year.
