Watford's charismatic boss is confident his team is ready for the challenge ahead and says that he is unfazed opponents, Crystal Palace have been installed by many pundits as clear favourites for the two legged Coca-Cola Championship Semi-Final which commences tomorrow,
“Since we knew we were going to be in the play-offs, we've managed to practice a lot of stuff, a lot of different situations and ‘what if' scenarios.
“Luckily, we've had the opportunity to face lots of different things in the last few games – we've had a man sent off, we've had a man sent off against us, we've gone a goal up, a goal down and had to respond to it all. We are as prepared as we can be”.
“We are the underdogs because Crystal Palace have spent far more money than us and they are expected to go up because they've got far more experienced players than us.
“We've got it all to do but we know that and we're not going there to make up the numbers, we're going to try to win”.
