Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Stephen Bradley said: “They have a really clear identity and you can see they are really well coached,” surmised Bradley.

“There’s a really clear identity in how they play, a possession-based team with lots of really good, technical players.

“They have clever movement in and out of possession. They also have a lot of experience within the team who have been around the leagues in England and you can see that in how they play.

“They have a really not blend about them. We’re under no illusion that it’s a difficult game against a good team.”

Speaking to BBC Shropshire, Craig Harrison said: “It’s a very good club that have been doing really well, they are European veterans compared to ourselves.

“We know it’s going to be a tough game but we’ve been out twice to watch them live and we’ve obviously done as much homework as we can.

“It’s one where both teams feel like they can get something from the game and obviously a victory for ourselves would put us on the right path and give us a great opportunity to move forward in the competition.”
