On the upcoming clash with play off chasing Northampton, Shirtliff said "Northampton have a very strong and experienced squad and we expect a good game and a competitive match. But we are in good form and are going into every game full of confidence and looking for a win.
"They gave us a tough game down there and we were very unlucky to get beat by a brilliant strike. I'm expecting another tough game but are confidence is high and it should be an excellent game."
"I don't think we will be bringing anyone else in on loan. We have great competition for places at the moment and we have a strong enough squad to cope with the rest of the season and I am not expecting any players to be departing."
"There is a great atmosphere around the place and I'm confident that whichever first eleven I pick they will play well and give a good account of themselves."
