Tricky game tonight!

Having seen the photos of the team at the airport in Malta, it worries me that we are persisting with virtually the same team that struggled to break down Birkirkara in the first leg. It looks like Slavan Bilic is staying with the same team (less Sakho) meaning we will be slow in midfield again (Nolan and Noble) and slow to go forward with Miaga up front and then presumably Lee later on.
I can understand him wanting to protect and prepare his first team for the season ahead but a 1-0 lead away from home and having seen West Ham slip so many times I for one am not confident that we are going to remain in the Europa Cup with fielding so many players who lets face it, wont see much first team action this coming season.
I just hope a week later they are fitter and we at least win!!! Thoughts? am I the only one not that confident?
