I'm actually looking forward to seeing how they go as it looks a very young side and the younger players look to have some hunger in them. The 17 will also be a pretty mobile squad so will be interesting to see how that impacts over the 80mins and whether its a plus or a minus.

Agree re Satae as he needs to do more than a handful of minutes than he has been doing, plus he certainly has the ability to give us go forward.

You'll soon be able to revert back to your "sicknote Bienek" if he gets injured.
