We have to do the right things, make the right decisions and, when the opportunities come, take them.That's what it comes down to in a nutshell, not the fact the pitch has a stock car race track around it and doesn't have nice stands
That's irrelevant and should be irrelevant going into any game
It's about what we do on the pitch."
