Quote: Alffi_7 "How they approach the game or consider the game is pretty irrelevant to us.
What can't be disputed surely is that they will be affected by playing what is likely to be a high intensity game 12,000 miles away, then having at least two days prep of their 6 day turnaround taken up with travel and jet lag?
If they are managing their squad over the two games surely that means they will have their big players playing the week before, and less so against us?
It by no means guarantees a result for us, and I'm in no way suggesting it will be an easy fixture, but to say it wont affect them cant be right surely?'"
I didn't say it wouldn't affect them....I said it wouldn't hinder them or use it as an excuse.
Pies mentality is different to TS of the past...TS sees a wall he'll erect scaffolding to get over it...Pies is to run threw with a digger.
