I fear for their tooth brush
 
The home leg is huge, we’ve already seen what we’re like on the artificial surface when Tamworth hung with us in Jan.

Needs to be 100mph from the off - loads of noise and zippy surface. The aim absolutely has to be trying to blow them away in the first leg
 
In the Europa Conference League 2021 they beat Roma 6-1 in their home leg, and drew 2-2 in Italy. Though later in the competition they got knocked out losing 4-0 away to Roma in the quarter final, after winning 2-1 in their home leg.

Maybe weather related.

Bodo in winter is unplayable for anyone else, especially on Astro.

By this time of year, someone else told me it’s a pretty mild and their big advantage has faded a bit.

It's still going to be cold mate. I've played golf in Lofoten in May which is a bit further north ... 24 hrs of daylight but still only 3 or 4 degrees. I think sunset in Bodo will be about 10.30pm in early May. As I keep telling people they are no mugs. They have broken Rosenborgs complete dominance of Norwegian football with a fraction of the budget and this is not going to be the pushover some think it might be. Must get a decent lead in the first leg and then play smart, methodical football in the second leg.

Yeah that’s not warm and a decent contrast to what we have in training every day in London.

Said before I’d have preferred Lazio and if they didn’t have so many suspensions, I’d still be saying that.

We know exactly what they will try and do in the first leg. They have no incentive to come out and play and all the pressure to score will be on us. We’ve struggled with stubborn shithousers that hit on the counter before. I think we will be in a good space by then though.
