The way the play-offs are set up........

Post by Pigman »

..............is anyone else quite pleased we're playing the second leg away?

We've been quite impressive on the road this season and I think, providing we don't give much away in the first leg, that the way we play sets it up for us to overcome the so called "home advantage".

I think our lads sometimes play with a bit of fear in front of our home crowd for some reason, yet express themselves better away. It may be the fact that we get a little more space to exploit away from home, but if we can draw or win the first leg I don't think there is any disadvantage to us being away a week on Monday.

We've already showed this season, to BOTH our potential opponents in their own backyards, that we're no push-overs and with a fully fit squad................ohhhhhhhhh I can't wait for Thursday !!! :D
