I’m slightly more nervous after their result today.  They have a 6’5 Croatian up front who gets his head to everything.  We need Tyrone to start. 

Lovre Kalinić was Croatian, 6'7 and he couldn't get his hands to anything on account of an inability to jump. Hopefully it's his shortarse brother.

We'll probably never play a weaker side in a cup final. It's up to us not to mess it up.

1963. Shudders.

Going back then Rotherham is probably the weakest.

We’ve earned the right to be there.
Now we need to earn the right to win it.
I think they are very similar in style to us so we need everyone to bring their A game.

They finished 1 place below us, and were probably above us at the time of the final.

Couldn’t jump, couldn’t catch, dived in stages, last seen going off with a sore head against West Brom in Feb 2019. Legend.

Is their manager highly-rated? Could he outsmart our gaffer?
