We have focused well and we have played a couple of friendly games and we are looking forward to the game [against Kotoko on Sunday].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly, it wasn\u2019t in the original plans but it is something that has been put in at a later stage and that is what happened and we have to just manage that situation and prepare accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that the game in Tamale is in the past and I do not think it has any relevance to this game. It is a derby game so I do not think previous results have any relevance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hearts beat Kotoko 3-1 in the first encounter but going into this weekend\u2019s game and with so many possibilities as to how to approach the game \u2013 whether to defend or attack or just sit back and settle for a draw \u2013 Coach Nuttall was a bit coy on how he intends to approach the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will see on Sunday [how we approach the game],\u201d he said, with a grin on his face.<\/p>\n<p>The Phobians have enjoyed brilliant support in Kumasi and coach Nuttall is looking forward to another \u201cgreat support\u201d from the teeming fans of the club at the Babayara on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message to our fans is just to turn up in your numbers. You were great the last time we were in Kumasi and we need as much support as possible so come and be the 12th man [for us].<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 61 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Saturday, 23 December 2017 Source: ghanasportsonline.com 2017-12-23 Frank Nuttall Accra Hearts of Oak head coach Frank Nuttall insists he and his charges are looking forward to the return league of the Ghana at 60 anniversary Cup game with Kotoko on Sunday.
