00:00Has the manager's attitude to the Cup in general been really refreshing because he comes in here and he really welcomes the game, it's not a distraction, that kind of thing?
00:07Yeah, I think it has. I think, like I said, from day one, he sort of told us the importance of it.
00:15And I think even in the early game, there's an opportunity for...
00:18You can't pick everyone every game and it's an opportunity to utilise the squad and a chance for lads to try and make their mark on the team.
00:25Like I said, the further you progress, then we know, obviously, what's in front of us.
00:31You get that step closer, it's potentially at a great price to get through to Wembley and we don't want to over-build it up.
00:39We're just treating it the same preparation as any other game.
00:41But, yeah, we know it's different to your typical league games and you can't wait for it.
00:46Do you visualise it at all?
00:48You know, maybe the night before getting to Wembley, it would be amazing for Preston.
00:51It's going to be a huge test though.
00:53Yeah, I think you've got to have that in your head because, I think, in order to achieve it, you have to believe it's possible.
01:00And, yeah, I think to visualise that and see we're not going to get carried away and look too far beyond.
01:07Someday we'll just take that first and, yeah, to know that that's what would await if we get a victory would be amazing.
01:13They've got some monstrous defenders, haven't they, Bill?
01:15Or have you just been looking at ways you can try and find a moment in a game?
01:20Yeah, I think we would analyse any team we look at, so we know they've got plenty of strengths and probably not many weaknesses.
01:28But, yeah, we obviously look into that, into a lot of detailed areas where we can potentially cause them issues themselves.
01:36And, yeah, we know that there might not be many moments in the game when we get to do that.
01:41So, when we get those opportunities, we need to be clinical and take them.
01:45When deep vales fall, does it just give you a glimpse of what it can become if it was to get into the Premier League one day?
01:52Yeah, I think we've seen that, especially the last round.
01:56The atmosphere was amazing and it's been like that a lot of this season.
01:59And, yeah, I think it definitely helps the lads when the atmosphere is like that.
02:05And when you can get positive results, it just makes it that bit more special when you see all the fans there in full voice.
02:12And, yeah, it's a great fortress when we know it's a full house and they're in full voice getting behind the lads.
02:18Cheers, Rob.
