Must NOT regard this game as a percentage booster.
The last time we did that, we ended up eating a huge slice of humble pie after we got poleaxed by the Blues. Then there was that game last season when the Suns made the Swans look stupid on their home patch. Very expensive that was too for Sydney.
Hopefully Fages has banned his players from reading this forum or any other media that are proclaiming us as "certainties"
Our players must have their minds on the job and be on from start to finish. Go hard , go often.....don't even give them a sniff
Go through the process, get the win and let the percentage take care of itself.
If we start by lairising and showing off, I will fret
EDIT:
I feel reasonably calm now but by midday on Friday my guts should start tying up in knots and I will start to "fear" losing this game. That's the way it's been for me for most of this season, ever since it dawned on me that we are actually a bloody good football team.
So.…....I'm kind of hoping that's the way our players feel too.
Be fearful of losing.
It's worked for me
