View from the manager, Neil Critchley
"The reason why we entered this competition is to get the chance to play teams like Porto. They won this competition last year. They have a very experienced senior B team so it’s a slightly different outlook and approach they have in Portugal, so it’s a game that we know we are going to have to play very well in to get something out of. The way our boys are playing at the moment I would back them against anyone, so it’s a great game for us to play and I’m really looking forward to the challenge."
