Speaking to the official website on Thursday, Shirtliff said "Boston are at the bottom of the table but this means nothing, no team is going to roll over and give you the three points so it will be tough. But if need to improve and start putting some wins on the board"
However, despite the importance of the game, Shirtliff is sticking to his prinicipals, by saying "I am not going to drastically change the way we play because we have competed in tight games but invariably it has been us that has made the mistake that has lead to the first goal which is an all important factor in these games."
