JON RUSSELL EVERYONE WANTS TO GET INTO THE CHAMPIONSHIP… Naturally, there were flashbacks to the clash against Bolton Wanderers at the start of January, but there was a tactical switch to four at the back with Jon also being introduced at the interval, and we regained control of the contest before sealing all three points through Jordan Williams’ superb volley. “It was that spirit of not giving up,” insisted the Chelsea academy graduate. “When we went down to 10 men, everyone was thinking that we need to work harder, and we had the organisation and knew what we were all doing. “We had our structure, and I think that helped us win the game and, obviously, our character helped us to win the game.” Victories on the road at Port Vale and Cheltenham Town have followed, with seven goals plundered in those two outings – and six different scorers registered. Perhaps what has been most impressive about this recent run of form, however, is how efficient the Reds are with and without the ball, almost allowing the opposition to dictate possession before clinically taking our chances when they come along. “You don’t win games without shooting or attacking,” said Jon. “The gaffer has made it clear to us that we need to score, be organised defensively and, counter and press with intensity. The gaffer really points that out to us and, you can see with the form we’re in that we’re doing it.” This afternoon’s opponents, Derby County, are in decent form themselves and come into this encounter on the back of a 2-0 win against Charlton Athletic last weekend. The Rams sit one place and one point above us in the table, and victory could potentially see us climb to fourth depending on results elsewhere in League One. It’s certainly a big fixture, not just in terms of the race for promotion, but for the psychological effect a positive or negative result could have on either team. A chance to lay down a marker. “The way we do things, we’re not a lower league club, and Derby were in the Championship for however many years, so it’s going to be a good competition,” discussed Jon. “I reckon we probably do things similar, and our standard is similar, so it’ll be an interesting game and a good one, too. “We’re all confident; we’ve got a good mentality about us. We know that Derby is going to be a hard game, but I don’t think that it’s going to worry us. As a team, we have belief in one another and know we’ve got each other’s backs, so we’re just going to give it our all. “In training, we’re at is as well. We know what’s coming and know how we’ve got to break them down and play. So, we’re confident and positive about the game.” With just short of 5,000 travelling supporters in the away end, it’s up to the Reds faithful to more than match that energy and make a cauldron of noise on Scarf Day. The players thrive off an atmosphere, and you can make a huge difference when the two sides take to the pitch. “It’s massive,” admitted Jon. “The last game I played at home, the crowd were incredible, and I was watching the crowd from the bench, and they were so loud. “When I came on, you could really feel it with the crowd behind you, so this weekend Derby can’t out-sing us – our fans have got to be at it as well. “But, we’re positive; that’s got to be the case and then it’s going to help us as a team to get our momentum and the win.” THE LAST GAME I PLAYED AT HOME, THE CROWD WERE INCREDIBLE… OAKWELL REVIEW 14 BARNSLEY VS DERBY COUNTY
