Not seen many games played over 2 legs so interested to see the tactics adopted by both sides in the first leg. It may be a cagey start but it is important to avoid a heavy defeat. Pleased that Scott and also Carl Laraman have experienced these situations. COYR
It’s been raining continually where I am all morning.
We just need to be patient and play our game and the crowd backing will be crucial today.
It’s a big deal today and I wonder how the players we got from the national league last summer will feel when they rock up at the ground today and see the Sky Sports cameras trucks and the buzz around the stadium.
Let’s hope the think this is just the start and they’ll need to get used to this malarkey for a few years to come yet!
Tippy-tappy football in defence is more prone to errors on a soggy pitch. Also, trying your luck from long range has a better chance when the ball is skidding and moving more. But the ball over the top is more likely to go for a goal kick. It makes figuring out tactics trickier - maybe put some right-hand side on it (sorry, wrong sport).
Hearing dicky birds saying the game may be off. Went searching but can't see anything so hopefully unfounded rumour. Beeb weather does say to expect thunderstorms around kick off!
We have a decent pitch but both teams like to play the ball so it could be a farce out there today.
Fingers crossed and hopefully they don't water the pitch before kick off.
