ONUOHA PRE PLAY-OFF FINAL


Former Sunderland player Nedum Onuoha believes that the team with the right mentality will be victorious on Saturday.


DIFFERENT APPROACH

"Yeah, I think so because you've played a lot of games to get this opportunity. Obviously, you would have wanted to go up automatically, but this is the next chance.”


ONCE IN A LIFETIME…

"I've only played at Wembley once (for QPR). After we beat Wigan in the playoff semi-final in 2014, I remember feeling real excitement as I was holding the banner saying 'We're going to Wembley'. You realise not everybody gets the chance to do that."


ALL TO PLAY FOR

"You've had all your fans out there. There's the hope of something being at the end of it because you don't play there for nothing, you're not going to play out a draw, there has to be a result on the day and it has significant meaning to it, which is why it's being played at Wembley.”


ONE CHANCE

"This is a one-off, this is the opportunity and you can't do anything that either plays into the opposition's hands or plays into not being at your absolute best for that occasion."


ATMOSPHERE

"When you arrive, you stay at the hotel and you can see the stadium from the hotel. You see your teams advertised on the boards and stuff outside, you get in there you see the crowd it's incredible.


MENTAL GAME

"It's truly, truly historic to play there and you think of all the people that have played there beforehand, but in the same breath, you don't want to be overawed by the occasion. I think whoever arrives there and feels a sense of 'Oh my god, I'm at Wembley, this is really nerve-wracking', you know you'll see them struggle. You can't be comfortable because you don't play there every single time, but you try and play your best game at Wembley because there's something on the line and if you manage to do that, then you get rewarded."
