He said: “There is huge motivation for us to get three points on Tuesday because that can take us into the top half of the table, so it is a big game for us in that respect.

“It would be a successful season for us if we were to finish inside the top 10 in League One this season, but I have said it all along that we just want to take it game by game and give every game the respect that it deserves.

“Myself and the players have worked together a long time now and we know that we do not want to let the season just float away. There are points to be won and the players understand that.”

Ferguson has confirmed that defender Joe Wright, who has caught the eye in an impressive 2017-18, is likely to be out for the rest of the season after injuring his ankle at the weekend.
