I don't think the travelling's too bad at all, could have been much worse. Tough group, but interesting. If I'm going to the Lane at all before the next window, it'll be probably to watch one of these games. I don't do away games these days, but wouldn't mind one of these away trips.
I feel that if we can beat the tough teams in the early stages the better chances we will have in the later stages. We don't want things too easy or we'll get overconfident and kapow.
