That last sentence is the crux of the matter. Thursday will tell us far more about were we are than Saturday did. It's a shame we'll be missing Ellis as he's been very solid in the early games. However, the squad as a whole have to respond, particularly the leaders and senior players. Put in a good performance on Thursday and I'll still feel we're on the right track and will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season. A bad one and it'll suggest we still have some of the same mental frailties that plagued us last season.
Thursday is a potential banana skin. Cas are now desperate and Radford won’t be giving the game plan talk to his players this week - it will be all about pride, the badge, honour and doing the basics right. He won’t confuse them with tactical stuff. I expect them to come out with his message ringing in their ears. We will need to be steady, patient, fault free and disciplined. We cannot allow them to build momentum.
