There's no shortage of chances created by Kevin Blackwell's troops, but turning them into the opposition's net has been a difficulty recently. A disappointing loss to Scunthorpe at home saw plenty of chances go amiss, and the same could be said for the stalemate versus Barnsley earlier this month.
Blackwell states his 'ideal Sunday' and fans' expectations in a Steel City Derby game. He said: "The ideal Sunday for me would be for us to score in the first minute, again just before half-time and then another towards the end.
"We have been working hard, there is everything riding on this game and I'm really looking forward to it. I have reminded the lads that Wednesday took six points off us last season, effectively denying us automatic promotion, so it would be nice to repay the compliment although it could never make up for missing out on going up.
"We will have seven or eight players out there who really have no clue about how intense these games are but they will when they walk out and hear the absolutely deafening noise - I have told them not to let is pass them by.
"The fans will expect hard work, endeavour and a good result so we have to go out there, enjoy the opportunity and go all out for a win.
"There is no bigger game for us and in such fixtures the form book and consistency often go out of the window. We are both under pressure for different reasons but I prefer ours because a win might mean we are still in the play-off frame - I think the teams above us are away as well.
"I know what I have to do - send our fans home happy and to do that means that we have to win the game. We have only lost two in eight and if we can improve the ratio of chances we take then I will be quietly confident."
