Mansfield Town
Mansfield Town manager Nigel Clough speaking to TNT Sports:
“Supporters been congregating since 8-9am this morning – big day for them.
“An incredibly difficult opportunity. Not just to get to the fifth round but also to get the Premier League leaders here. I juts hope we can make it uncomfortable for them.
“Everyone is excited but manager and staff not so much!
“We will try to play our normal game. I don’t think we can do it any other way. When we can we will try to get the ball down – they are slightly technically better than us! But you never know, you need a break. It’s what you get away with as well – with Burnley they missed two or three chances and that went our way.
“Make it uncomfortable but have a go – no regrets. We have a one off opportunity to give it everything and let’s see.”
On coming through against Accrington Stanley in early round: “More difficult in lots of ways than the other two games. Absolute monsoon conditions and we snuck through. You have to get through games like that to get the big ties. That’s what you have to do to get a chance at the big boys.
“We want to be in with a chance. If we didn’t think we could cause an upset then there’s no point. We have bigger games coming this week in the context of the league so we can just enjoy this.
“We’ve already created memories with the fans here today.”
