“They play with a good style and an intricate formation. They’ve been on the telly a few times, and I think they’ve shown that they’re more than able to at least compete at this level, and do more.
“I think they’re going to cause a lot of damage in games. We know every game in this league is tough.
“I think it’s about us back to being us. I think a big focus will have to be back on ourselves, going away from home and making sure we get back on a winning run.”
