"And we watched them play on Tuesday night at Nantwich where we saw some strengths from them in terms of how they press and hard they worked.

"And we saw what we believe are a couple of weakness that we might be able to exploit.

"They did change the team around a bit with tomorrow's game in mind.

"But in general we know the players well from being in that league."

"We're well versed on them and ultimately it's about our mental approach and giving them the respect they deserve."
