We’re not daft. We know Bratislava was a comparatively easy start and that tougher games are ahead, but we can go into them with confidence…
The German giants reached the final of the competition last season and although they were hammered 5-1 by Stuttgart yesterday, they will still prove a formidable side.
We are certainly not deluded, like supporters of a certain club tend to be, we know we face a tough task in Europe especially our away games. We were lucky enough to get a decent start and result against Slovan Bratislava, but things will get extremely tougher starting at the Westfalenstadion next week.
What we can do is head into these games with confidence and belief due to our excellent start to the campaign. We are much better prepared and organised than we were at this stage of last season and while anything we get on our travels will be a bonus.
We all want to see the team perform well, and they could well do just that, but we know deep down it will be a tough ask.
