Forward planning

Posted on: Fri 26 Feb 2010
Millwall take on Hartlepool United at The Den looking to maintain the impressive recent run which has seen them take 26 points from the last 12 games to put further pressure on the top six.
By the time The Lions kick-off, Charlton will already have played at Southend on Friday night, with Leeds having travelled to Huddersfield for a Saturday lunchtime derby.
But Kenny Jackett is not thinking about other clubs, believing that if his team continue to play to the levels they are capable of a top six finish is well within reach.
The manager's thinking about Saturday's game itself is similar. He said: "We've watched the opposition and had reports on them as we always do, but accounting for the way our opponents play only takes up 10 or 20% of our planning.
It might have some effect on my team selection or the choice of our our bench, for example, but the majority of our focus is on ourselves and how we want to play.
We need to be bright and hungry, on the front foot from the start, determined to make the play happen. We have to get the ball and be constructive in possession, deliver the ball into their box and create the type of efforts to test their goalkeeper."
Kenny is still irked by that 3-0 defeat at Victoria Park on 5th December and is determined to set the record straight on Saturday.
