So a team who have only scored 9 (and conceded 9) but have won 6 against a team that have scored approx 3x that amount but have conceded almost double.
Based on our recent games can we afford to take the lead? Based on their defensive record can we afford to concede 1st?
I feel we have to go for it from the off. Get 2 goals and then we can be careful. Whatever, we have to into account their poor goals tally and make them chase the game and possibly loosen up in efforts to get back in the game. In no way though should we should up shop if in the lead. As ever, I believe we need to keep a winger on the pitch throughout the game so if Tracey tires/gets injured the Rowe should take his place. Based on recent performances, I would keep Rio wide right rather than switching him to left back unless he has an ineffectual game there.
As for the result ...2-1. Can't se us keeping a clean sheet but they will equalise before we score again. O'Riordan must be due a goal plus Nev.
