Manager's Thoughts

Taylor's men head to the capital looking for their first away win of the season.

"There is no pressure on this group of players," he said.

"I have not spoken to the players about what to expect, I don't need to. These players have played in front of huge crowds before - and it's a fantastic place to play.

"There will be a pressure on the home team. If there was pressure on the players I'd talk to them about it, but this is one to embrace and to enjoy.

"We go there well supported and the supporters will sing their hearts out."
