City Academy Boss Richard Stevens said to the club website: "It has been pretty normal in terms of preparation, we've had quite a long break since the last game which has actually helped us. All the boys were involved in Under-23s football so it has given us a chance to give them some rest. 

"It has gave us time to really prepare for the game, but despite the added time, we have gone about our business as we usually would for any other game. We will go into it looking to do our best and see where that takes us.
 
"Trying to get the lads as much experience as possible is important and playing at a stadium enables that. It is what that next step is, it will be a big occasion for them and many have already played at the Ricoh for the 23s."
 
U18's captain Tom Bayliss said to the club website: "It's a big occasion for everybody tomorrow, it has been a really successful and enjoyable season and we'll all be trying to cap it off by winning the game tomorrow evening.
 
"The last game for some us was at the Ricoh against Millwall for the Under-23s, so I certainly don't think they'll be many nerves going into the game. 
 
"I personally love going to different stadiums and gaining the experience that comes with it, and I'm sure the lads do as well. For us it will just be another game that we'll be trying to perform well and win.
