Derek said: “We have got a very good away record – it is a club record of seven wins on the bounce – and we want to continue that, add to that and go forward.

“We’d be really proud [to extend the record] and it would put us on a really good points total so far this season. We are going there to try win the match and come away with three points.

“It’s happening more and more in football in general, I think. Away from home, the home team really has to come out and play; the away team then plays on the counter attack.”
