SHEFFIELD launch a busy and pivotal spell with a trip to Redcar on Friday (7.30).

Tigers are facing nine key fixtures in the next four weeks and boss Simon Stead has acknowledged the importance as they try and book their place in the Championship’s top four.

“We know how important this next month is going to be and it will make or break our whole season,” Stead said.

“We’re under no illusions of the size of the task and what we’ve got to do - and I believe we can still do it.

“We’ve already been to Redcar once this year and while they’re a much changed team now, I’m hoping we can build on what we did there earlier in the season.”

Tigers are also back at Owlerton this Sunday (5.30) when Newcastle are the visitors.

REDCAR: Erik Riss, Kasper Andersen, Michael Palm Toft, Jordan Stewart, Charles Wright, Tom Woolley, Nathan Greaves.
SHEFFIELD: Danny King, Broc Nicol R/R, Ty Proctor, Drew Kemp, Kyle Howarth, Zaine Kennedy, Josh MacDonald.
