Despite this being the biggest game of our season so far Tony Mowbray isn’t changing the way he approaches the game. For him it’s just another game and that’s what he’s telling the lads.
STAYING CALM
"Genuinely I don't fill myself full of pressure and tension, I genuinely relax into the game, any game, and I try to get that across to the players in training. It's not every day over-showing them what the opposition do, every pass, where they go, what they do. We have to just go and play and be brave and enjoy the football match as a young group of players and it's been enough with those sort of messages all season.”
IF IT AINT BROKE DON’T FIX IT
“It's been enough to win plenty of games on the road and this is another on the road, away from home. Be brave, play in the spaces, move the ball, move forward. You have to compete – that's just what the game is. Generally, as I said, we've got some really talented individuals who can hurt the opposition, so we'll be going to Preston without pressure just to go and try to win the next match."
RESPECT THEM
"We have to be very respectful of them, they suffered a little bit at home earlier in the season but they've resolved that in the second half of the season. We're talking about one of the biggest clubs in the country for many, many years with some of the world's great players. It's a club full of history and with a passionate support base.”
THEY’LL WANT TO FINISH STRONG
"What I do know is that every team wants to finish the season strongly at home, to have a walk around the pitch with their families and to be able to show their appreciation for their supporters. They'll be trying very hard to try and finish the season positively."
