"I'm looking forward to it. The boys will play 45 minutes each. We've worked them hard today as well so we want them to play with a little bit of heavy legs so that they start getting fitter and stronger. But it'll be a test against Cove. We're looking forward to it.

"I think at this stage it's purely fitness. As I say, we worked very, very hard today. You wouldn't prepare usually for a game on a Saturday like that. We're trying to push them a little bit harder so that when it comes to the season, they're ahead of themselves.

"But you're looking for certain things that you've worked on in training as well. You know, some patterns, which we saw in the friendly on Wednesday night. A lot of our final third play was very good against a lower team that will sit in, which will replicate the cup games and replicate some games during the season. It's important to have that creativity.

"You're looking at the early stages of those patterns and team shape, but it is mostly fitness. You want to get a good 45 minutes out of the players, and then we'll change the full 11 and then go to Holland with 90 minutes under our belts from the two games."
