Blackwell believes his side have been wary of being too physical in recent weeks but admits the frenzied atmosphere of the derby will mean that will not be an issue. He said: "Opposition teams have been saying that we're tough to beat and that you've got to match us physically to stand a chance. Too right. I wouldn't want it any other way. "Every player needs a confidence and single-mindedness so that you don't get bossed and you come out on top. "Sometimes at home I think our lads have been trying too hard to placate people but that's not going to be a problem here."
