Jewell optimistic

Last updated : 19 January 2007 By Paul Farrington
A run of six straight league defeats has dampened hopes at the club over the past few weeks, but the manager is hopeful of a good result against Everton.

Jewell said: "We've played Everton three times since we've been promoted to the Premiership, and every one of those games has been fiercely contested, very close game.

"I see no reason why that should change on Sunday. Our whole dressing room will be up for it on Sunday, with one thing only on their minds: to get the three points."
