I have huge respect for Dean as a manager and John as well. If there is anyone we are going to up against, so be it. Hopefully we win and if we dont I will shake their hands and wish them very well with the connection weve got. We are both trying to do the same thing and be successful.This game is a bit of a crucial moment obviously. Im pleased Im going up against someone like John as it means hes had a great year.
