Westley on the Play-offs.

The Stevenage manager, Graham Westley, has been telling his Official Website about how he will approach the Play-offs.

"I recall saying before a ball was kicked that I would be disappointed if we did not get into the play offs. Although we do not have the resources or financial muscle of others, I believed in the quality of our players and in the way we were planning to do things.

"Our performance of 57 points in our last 30 games is strong and confirms what I believed which was that this team had the potential to achieve something big. It was important to keep our focus on improving and to trust ourselves when we struggled to perform as a team early on. Our players have shown a strength of character to come through after that start. I still think that their best is yet to come.

"Now, of course, the war begins. There are three battles in front of us. If we win all three then we will be a Football League club.

"Our attention is on the first game now. We want to go into that game in our best condition of the season so far. A lot of planning is going into ensuring that. Physically, mentally and preparatory wise, I am confident that the lads will be right. They are very calm about the situation; very calm, very strong and very focussed".

Westley admitted that it is also likely that he will finally be able to pick his strongest side for the home game.

"With Mickey Warner now looking match fit, we should be stronger than ever now. Boydy and Weathers should be available so all in all, I have to say that we are in reasonable shape".
