WHAT THE GAFFER SAID

“It’s another test. They’re an athletic, physical outfit. All of their games in this competition have been close.

“They won’t be quite as aggressive on the press I wouldn’t have thought as Sparta Prague. You never know, but from what we’ve seen they’ll be really hard to break down, really hard to get through and offer a threat on the counter attack.

“It will be a tough game but we’ve given ourselves a fighting chance to go into Christmas with a game to go in a good position in the group.”
