I’m not so confident that we have better players Charlie. We have 2 untested fullbacks for starters, we will play three centre half’s , Astley  has played 23 games for Accrington Stanley and Luke Graham has never played at this level, One of the two will start. Our side is really small in height which could be a huge problem with set plays as utd are a very tall side.  I’ve had false optimism to many times going to this particular ground.

Take out Cameron and McCowan and we really are not a small side mate

Portales- 6ft

Mcghee -6ft

Graham - 6 ft 3 “

Astley - 6 ft

Sylla - 6ft 2”

Ingram - 6 ft 1”

Larkeche - 6 ft

Murray - 6ft

Palmer-Holden - nothing online but a couple inches taller than Murray  so 6ft 2” min.

And for United yes the boy graham Is a big lad and holt and the boy Odada but after them not many 6ft in that team actually. Macedonians both look “smaller” The likes of grimshaw, Sibbald  and Middleton are no bigger than McCowan I don’t think.

Moult 6ft

If we play for 90 minutes we win imo, it's our inconsistencies over the 90 that worry me. We don't want a good 45 then a flat 30 at the start of the second half which we're a bit guilty of.
