I don;t think they have better attackers and defenders than us. But i do think

they have attackers good enough to take advantage of the chances we tend to give away which are as much due to how we try to play as the individual quality of our defenders. As a no nonsense defender, Hanley is good. As a ball playing centre half doing Cruyff turns 35 yards from his own goal, he gives me some palpitations.

I think a high scoring draw could also be a likely outcome but the main reason for my pessimism about Wednesday is that we just haven;t really truned up in most of our games against promotion rivals and I'm not convinced Farke gets them up enough for some of these big games (see also relegation battle). Thankfully, we have enough of a cushion that we can actually afford to lose it. If we turn up at play at something close to our best though I think we are well capable of beating them.
