He continued, "Large parts of the away game two weeks ago we could show our identity. But they in large parts showed how good they are. Scoring three goals against us is a big compliment.
"If you look at all the fixtures this season, there's so many things going into a line up. It's going to be a decision made about what is the best line up for tomorrow.
"In my opinion the best line up might be ones who don't start a lot... Maybe some of those players will play tomorrow. Maybe players who have played a lot will play," he explained.
