Their defence is definitely penetrable - Matron!

They do have good movement round the box and their midfield, though not necessarily as skilled as at least some of ours, is better set up and drilled. They work as a unit and each man knows his role. The table does flatter them a little - but not too much in truth - and they'd be destroyed in the Prem but sadly I do think they've a decent chance of breaking their 5,300+-day streak of not beating us and I'd take a draw now if offered.

I do like the concept of them dropping to 3rd last day of the season as we sneak 6th by goal diff or something and then knock them out of the semis again.

What's gone right for them is obviously the manager. They've learned a lot from us - they've changed quite a few things to be more like us - but we could do worse than take a leaf out of their young up and coming manager book honestly just now.

There's that feeling around them like there was around us when Lambert got us up from League One and took us all the way to the Prem and then kept us there. Pains me to say it but I think it's true.

Far too few words.
