Maybe we’re not quite ready for the Europa League, but we’re in the Conference League now and we’re against a team we feel we can beat.
“Some of my players said to me last week was the first time they’ve ever been abroad preparing for a game so it was different for a lot of them. We needed to be slightly better in attacking areas to beat a team of Brugge’s quality. But I think having had those two games will help us because the one big advantage Tromso have over us is that they’re well into their campaign.”
