Duberry said in the YEP: "It's well known this season that teams will try and bully us and more often than not they've succeeded. We know they'll try and beat us up tomorrow, and think we'll roll over and lie down. But we've got to stand up and be counted and say that's not going to happen.

"We've never built on a win this season, we've not got many as it is. But we got one on Monday and we have to get another now. We've got to build and get the momentum going towards the end of the season.

"It would help us ahead of going to Arsenal. It's been stop-start all season, but we got over a hurdle on Monday and we've set ourselves up now."

Back-to-back victories would give The Whites a momentum ahead of the crucial final run-in. Duberry says it's vital the players display the same spirit they showed on Monday. "That will be important. Teams going for the league have to have spirit, but we've got a bigger fight going on here. We've got to get together and we've got to go in the same direction, all of us."
