Do McKennas boys have the mental strength it takes? on 12:16 - Apr 27 with 1211 views | franz_tyson | It is a Cup Final. We win this and we're 90% there to promotion. It's like Barnsley last year. We have to be totally focused on this game alone. We need to give everything for these 3 points. Compared to having to win the final game with Huddersfield at Portman Road where we're goalless after 75 minutes and Leeds have just taken second place in the live table and there's disquiet and panic in the stands .... that would require mental strength. Just win it tonight. |  | |  |

We don't necessarily need to score early, just make sure we do not concede. I know we're very good at winning after being behind in games, but it's added pressure we don't need at a time like this. Otherwise, our routines and ingrained patterns of play will see us through. The players can concentrate on the detail, not the whole picture. We don't need to push, just play. Less mental strain. |  |

This. Not saying we'll win, but if we don't, mentality will not have been the issue. |  |

My main hope is that we've got our shooting boots on. I'm not expecting a huge number of chances, so when get them we need to be more clinical than we have been in recent games. But then, none of the management and players need me to tell them that! Kieran knows exactly what we need. |  |

This. My only concern for tonight would be that we get blown away in the first 20 mins like Leeds did last night. Hull have a lot of quality up top. The longer the game goes though you’d have favour us after the break and with a rejuvenated bench. |  | |  |

I think people are also forgetting the other injuries that KMc mentioned at the presser, we may be missing one or two expected starters. |  | |  |

Defend like QPR did last night and we’re all but there. No silly goals conceded please. Oh, and smash a couple in Chappers ! COYBs [Post edited 27 Apr 2024 13:21]
