We have a good habit of stopping in form strikers more often than not. Apart from the penalty he scored against us last season for Huddersfield, does anyone remember Jordan Rhodes doing ANYTHING of note against us every time we've come up against him?
He's good but if we set up correctly and keep our defensive shape like we can then I think we can contain Austin. He's not Didier Drogba. Do enough to make them worry about us.
Generally speaking we have done pretty well against name strikers, so the key is not stopping Austin but setting up right and defending the way generally speaking we have over the last 15 or so months

Maybe then we need to stop them putting in low crosses!
Disagree. Put Leon Cort on him. He is bound to have a good game returning to his old club.
That's his boot by the way
We just have to cut of the supply and not give him time or space, sounds simple but its not! Class player
