ROY Keane insists that, even though his players have suffered eight defeats in 10 league games, and are dropping closer to the relegation zone, they are “not playing with fear.”

Town travel to basement dwellers Preston this weekend, and Keane revealed during this morning’s press conference that fear is not a problem.

“We need the players to go out and not be afraid to make mistakes, but we’ve got to have an end product,” said Keane.

“My players shouldn’t be playing with fear. What is there to be fearful of?”
