I know I said it was important to score first in the Stoke match...but doubly important in this one. Think whoever hits the net first will have a huge advantage deciding the outcome. Can't see us playing catchup if they score and then park.

Think it is going to be an open game but I expect us to come away with 3pts.
The lads know to keep their composure, believe in the way they play and there will be plenty of chances to win the match.
Toughest match of the return for me but I think we’ll do it. Decisive win if we do. Here’s hoping
Tough game but we can do this.
MOT
We win today and the fat lady can gargle. Or in the Revs case, gag.
All the lady's are gagging for a bit of the Rev
Yet another team we owe one to. They celebrated as if they'd been promoted when they fluked a late winner at ER.
Last beat them away in 1964?!
I guess we’re due then...
