Ahead of Wembley at the weekend, Alex Neil spoke about the sold-out backing the lads will have behind them.
PRESSURE
“Listen, I see there are numerous occasions before. When you’re a player you want to play in pressurised environments because it should bring the best out of you and I think as a manager you want to play in front of big crowds, you want expectation,”
DIFFERENCE MAKERS
“To be successful you need the tools and your armoury to then go and win games and I think what we have got we’ve got a very accomplished squad, we’ve got a very good squad, we’ve got players that can certainly make a difference at this level and they’ll be looking forward to the occasion, as am I”
REMARKABLE SUPPORT
“To have that amount of fans come to any game at this level is remarkable, but what we’ve got to do is we’ve got to earn the right to not be a League One team and the only way to do that is go and beat Wycombe at Wembley. So, I’m sure they’ll give us a full backing as they have done and we’ll do certainly our utmost like we have done in every game.”
Luke O’Nien also had a kind word for the fanbase...
INCREDIBLE SUPPORT
“The support we’ve had since I’ve joined the club, let alone this season, has been incredible. You saw the turnout at the Stadium of Light for Sheffield Wednesday, and the previous years at Wembley. Everyone’s trying to get tickets for it, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s people hanging off the arch trying to get a seat from there!”
CRUCIAL LAST-MINUTE GOALS
“You can see what the fanbase does for us. It’s got us some crucial last-minute goals, and it keeps the boys running right to the final whistle. The fanbase are incredible, and it’s going to be a special day. We’ve just got to make sure we put on a performance they can be proud of.”
