I'm glad we will get these games out of the way early so if we do progress to the SF at least there will be 2 games less after the new year.We seemed to get bogged down with games the last 2 seasons in the run in and possibly lost league games we should have won.
I hope we can get through December though as that Manchester game on 23rd may be tougher now with potentially a tight 2nd leg only 2 nights before.That little 4 day off breather pre Christmas would have been handy.
