It is a massive game, no doubt about it. We need to see a reaction from the players after last week. Whoever starts the game needs to take responsibility and drive the team forward. It is so important now the players show everyone that they really want to be here next season. They have shown in glimpses what they are capable of and now we need to put it all together for 90 minutes.
