Burton no Hassel to Nathaniel Knight-Percival

Town take on Hasselbaink's men at Greenhous Meadow tomorrow as two of the league's promotion favourites go head-to-head.

The former Chelsea star has managed two games since taking over at the Pirelli Stadium earlier this month from the hugely popular Gary Rowett.

And it's been a case of so far so good for the Dutchman who has masterminded two wins over Luton and Wycombe, who were both top of the table when they came up against the Brewers.

But Knight-Percival is undeterred, believing Town just have to concentrate on themselves.

"We know Burton are a good side, one of the favourites for promotion and they have had a few changes recently," he said.

"But those changes won't affect us too much. We have to concentrate on ourselves and do the things we are good at.

"They are coming to our home ground so it is up to us to impose ourselves on the game and play the way we want to play – we can't be worrying about them too much.

"We need to get three points to continue our home record. We love playing at home, in front of our fans. We always get great support here and they always get right behind us – they are brilliant."

Town remain the only side in League Two with an unbeaten home league record. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea are the only side to claim victory at Greenhous Meadow this season courtesy of their 2-1 Capital Cup triumph.

But Salop go into the game on the back on the heart-breaking defeat at Exeter where they led 2-0 at the break before slipping to a 3-2 defeat.

"We were always going to be a bit down after what happened at Exeter but we have picked ourselves up and got back to work," Knight-Percival said.

"We have worked on our general team shape and a few things that went wrong for us – which to be fair haven't really gone wrong for us this season.

"It's just a case of working on those minor details. We struggled with crosses against Exeter and didn't defend too well, so we have looked at that.

The Exeter game aside, the former Peterborough defender has been happy with his performances and feels he has built a solid partnership with Connor Goldson and Jermaine Grandison in Micky Mellon's preferred 3-5-2 formation.

He said: "I'm happy with my performances this season and I feel I have found that consistency which is the important thing.

"I just need to continue that now. There are obviously areas I still need to improve and I am working hard to do that.

"I'll play anywhere the manager asks me too and I've had spells at left-back and centre-back, but playing in a three is something I really enjoy, especially with Connor and Jermaine.

"They are both superb footballers who are strong and quick and have good football brains. They have that presence about them which I think you need as a defender."

Meanwhile, the defender revealed all the lads have done their bit to ensure new signing Josh Passley has settled in quickly.

"Josh arrived and trained with us on Thursday and all the lads have got round him to help him settle," Knight-Percival said.

"He knows he is here to do a job for us and we are going to help him do that."
