Westley talks about the psychological advantage

Graham Westley, the Stevenage manager, has once again been talking about he believes his side hold the "psychological advantage" ahead of their play-off semi-final second leg tomorrow (Friday) night.

"It was a big blow for them to concede a late equaliser," Westley told the Stevenage Herald.

"I feel we now hold the psychological advantage and I think Hereford will find it difficult to recover from that.

"I'm quietly confident but we won't underestimate them, that's for sure. They will have to come and attack us tomorrow.

"But we will concentrate on what we have to do. We remember the result back in August (Boro won 1-0 at Edgar Street)."

"There's no doubt I would sooner have won than drawn. But we got nothing when we played them at home in the league recently.

"Our lads performed well and I was happy with them. Physically, we looked the stronger side as the game wore on."

If the scores are tied after 90 minutes tomorrow, the game will go to extra-time and then penalties.

"I think we have to practice penalties and it would be foolish to ignore the possibility," added Westley.
