My biggest concern is that Potter managed to do the double over us last season and so he’s obviously got an idea how to counter the way we play. Swansea away last season was our last away defeat, we were shocking.
We definitely learned from that game in the Championship though and mixed it up a bit more from then on, and so hopefully Wilder will get one over on Potter this time around.
Fair point. If I remember rightly, especially in the game at the Liberty, they matched us up and we looked toothless. I presume he will probably do the same, but the difference is this time around is that were a different team the the last one he played. Dropping the No10 in favour of a midfield 3 gives us more bite in the middle so I don't think they will dictate the game as much as Swansea did that night.
The big question for me is whether we plump for Freeman or Besic in place of Fleck. Freeman's quality on the ball makes us more dangerous going forward but Besic defensive strength might be needed against their very decent midfield. Tough call.
