Speaking ahead of the game, Clough said: "Ian Holloway's teams, they are like us. They are honest, they run, they try.

"It'll be a good battle between two teams desperate for points.

"Ian is picking up the pieces of a few years of, not problems, but certain issues down there - and I think it's going to take maybe the rest of this season, at least.

"But he's keeping their heads above water, and I think he's doing a very, very good job there.

"They come into the game on a good bit of form. I think they've had a boost from the young striker Paul Smyth who has come in and got a goal.
