Pre-match views from the Match Thread:
sedgleyimp: “Just heading over. Really looking forward to today’s game. It will give us a proper indication of where we are. I expect we’ll allow them the majority of the possession and look to frustrate them early on. Even without Stansfield, they will have plenty in their squad to compensate for that, but we are the kind of team who nobody likes playing against so I’m confident we can get a result today.”
Luke Imp: “So far this season, the more possession-based sides haven’t always looked threatening with it and we’ve kept them at arm’s length but I think today we’re going to be facing a side who are packed full of that much quality, they’re going to be threatening whenever they have it.”
