Hide AdRobins, who claimed he turned down an approach from Sunderland earlier this season, explained the logic behind arranging a friendly before such an important clash in the promotion race.
“We’ve organised a behind-closed-doors to give them a run out,” he said.
“I just need them to get some practise in before Sunday’s game with Sunderland.”
