I think the headline is a bit misleading - he was saying the match is a tough one and we would be hppy with a replay in that context. I'm sure if we had a mid week game next week we would see a reserve team for Saturday and quite possible if we get a draw we could see a much weaker team for the replay. I think it was more about downplaying expectations than anything else.
Yes, hadn't thought of that- would have a decent chance of being on the box- but I'd still rather we avoided it one way or another. As we don't play Wednesday until the week after- this game is fine but we should never forget where our priorities lie this season.

Yep, win or lose get the tie finished on the day.
