00:00 Derby day, what does it mean for yourself and for the players?

00:03 I think it's a great day for the fans and the players.

00:07 I'm going to look forward to the big games.

00:10 The games that mean a lot to the community, to the players and the fans.

00:13 It's an exciting day. I try to keep calm. I've been in derbies before.

00:18 I know sometimes you can get a bit emotional and you need to stay focused.

00:21 Our objective is to focus on what we want to do, get three points,

00:25 play well at home in front of the fans and make sure that we do that first and foremost.

00:30 That's the most important thing.

00:32 You played them into form early in the season.

00:35 Since that first game, they've gone on a tremendous run.

00:38 How do you put the lid on them?

00:39 They're a good team. You've got to give credit where credit's due if they're doing really well.

00:44 I think on the back of last year, they've built some resilience and strength.

00:50 Three years ago, they were at rock bottom.

00:53 They've built themselves really well.

00:55 It takes time. You've got to give credit where they've worked hard and they're in a good space.

01:02 We're trying to do similar things.

01:04 We're trying to build strong foundations, consistency, be resilient, be strong.

01:09 I think we're seeing good signs and that. We just need to finish games off at times.
