Behind enemy lines here on the Blood Red channel, I'm Guy Clark.

Welcome along the head of Sunday's trip to the

turf will be finding all out about the Claritz this season. How they find themselves

at bottom of the league despite losing just eight games this season and delve into the threat

here with us and Alex welcome back to to Blood Red how you keeping?

Yeah not too bad thank you yourself.
