As Sparky says, Salford have invested heavily yet again, but seem to actually be operating as a team this season under their ex-United academy manager. Their top scorer Asante has departed to West Brom, but his absence does not seem to have unduly affected them.
I don't hold out much hope of getting a result here, and the game the following Saturday at Walsall already has the look of a very big fixture. We have been defeated by every one of the top half sides we have faced this season, and we seem to be at the stage of picking and choosing games where we are likely to get results, for the time being at least.
It will be interesting to see whether Micky sticks with the 532. We were poor defensively on Tuesday night, but our best performances of the season, against Gillingham and Newcastle, both came with that formation, so it is simplistic to suggest five at the back does not work. If we do play the 532, I would like Hawkes to come into the side in place of MaClear, who has been hit and miss for a few weeks now. Josh has a goal in him, even in games where he is not performing well.
In his pre-match interview, Micky said that Morris is likely to be on the bench.
We had sold about 800 tickets on Wednesday, which is pretty good, all things considered.
