Hide AdSteve Evans’ sides are always physical and they’r hard to beat and that is exactly what Moore his preparing his team for when the teams meet this afternoon.
"They make it very, very difficult for opponents,” Moore said. “They have a manager that knows his way around this league and a manager who makes it very difficult and plays effective football.
"It's two teams with two different styles of play, it's two teams trying to implement their own style of play on the game and that's what we'll try to do. It's a game where we have to stand up and be counted but it's a game where we have to implement our style and get after them as much as they get after us.”
And with it likely to be a tough task, where patience might be key, Moore is hoping the fans will play their part, too.

"The last three games have been good in front of the fans - we sent a message out to the fans for their added support this time of the year, to have that support base has been absolutely superb and we're looking forward to seeing them all again on Saturday.”
And as for Evans…
"We have a lot of respect for Steve for what he's done in the game,” Moore said. “His attitude and his desire in the game and the way his players go about it, it shows what he's about. I look forward to seeing him and our teams going head-to-head.”
