Under Clough we've got loads of big game experience and generally on the big Cup occasions we've turned up and performed pretty well. We've even done alright against the better sides in the division and local derbies. I think we're well in the mix regardless of our poor form.
I go with this big game experience against teams in the cup runs. However if we lost in the cup , it would not have been no big deal against the WHU , QPR , Southampton , Charlton etc. It is with the instruction , go out and enjoy your game .
Cup games were nice to have IMO.
I am clinging to the format , of we will show up in the same cup team performances , but it depends on nerves , mental strength and preparation .
We have to come out of the starting blocks in control from the kick off , not after half time.
The play offs are going to be a different ball game , and the season starts now . Its down to Clough and the players to grasp the chance and moment .
If we don't make it ( and we will ) , next season could be a Brentford to bounce back , or if we start messing around on the management front , a Orient , to bounce the other way.
The play offs will be a benchmark , to see how good Clough and the players actually are , with our set up , we have the correct type of football to win and be a success , in these type of knock out competitions .. At home , as a crowd , we will just have to be ultra patient , but our own emotions will come into play.
