I love the way everyone — but absolutely everyone — is a really tough opponent, and “we know their quality”. Also, there's “They're fighting for points to survive”; alternatively “They're fighting for a European spot”.
You could probably add: “You know, they're fighting for mid-table respectability. It'll be hard”.
If we were playing Melton Mowbray Wanderers, Phil (random example) would furrow his brow, and say judiciously “Always a tough place to go”.
Would love it if once, just once, the manager or players threw a curve ball, and just said it: “This lot are utter dogshite.”
That would wake everybody up, wouldn't it?
