Tempting fate. I worry that our midfield won’t be as joined up as usual and will be looking to see if JWP sits deeper, to protect Valery and Stephens, which will impact on how well we press from the front and link attacking moves together.
It's a weird one, the defence partnership and strikers in particular. However, hopefully, I can look back at all these comments in a couple of hours time and have a chuckle to myself once through to the next round. In Ralph we trust...
Can’t see us progressing with that team. I expected a couple of changes, but the concern is these players haven’t really played together. Disappointing, though I guess we have a punchers chance.
