'Wes Had To Make That Challenge!'

Last updated : 10 February 2014 By Tott Dixon - Seaham

Liam Bridcutt: "Wes had to make that challenge.

"He is an experienced player and a top player and he will bounce back from it easily.

"But after having a man sent off early, you are always going to be chasing the game.

"You have to try and make it as difficult as you can for them to score. And we weren't at our best at defending set-pieces and marking, we gave them two easy goals.

"On Wednesday night, I will be playing against some of the world's best players. It is a challenge I am looking forward to.

"If we stick to the basics, marking and defending in the way we can, I think we could possible get a good result there.

"It will be a tough game but we are not going to lie down, we are going to come out fighting."
