This is going to be a tough test. Make no mistake about that. Having been a travelling foot soldier on over a dozen euro trips that had a return ofnot one away win. A couple of draws and the rest defeats, that included losing but knocking out Stuttgart on aggregate, means I take away games with a handful of Valium.
One thing I am happier about is that at last we have better defensive options and if the lads can out in as good a defensive showing as we did against Soft Loan Central, we should be better placed to get something.
We need to remember though that Reinnes are much better than that shower of overhyped shite.
I would be delighted with a draw, but, think this might be too much to expect if they are as good as they say. A game without us shooting ourselves in the head by gifting a couple of goals would be a step forward.
Do that and our mid to front perform and we have a chance. It all depends on our mentality going in and standing up.
I’m looking forward to it as this will be a test of how much we have improved as a unit . Saturday was agame on that shit pitch that didn’t lend itself to how we play. Go in with no fear, keep it tight at the back and hope our mid to front show they can have a go at anybody.
If they think that Saturday is the best we can play they will be vulnerable to us kicking their balls.
I’m hoping for a win but would rip your arm out if it’s socket for a draw with a good performance. It will however come down to us winning games at home, which needs to be achieved to give us any shout of progressing even if they are too much away.
My heart says a draw, but our away form for many years has been dire. Thursday would be a great day to change that. Just put up a good show and let all who want us to fall be utterly fucked off.
MON THE HOOPS
