Take nothing for granted says Tis
Exeter City manager Paul Tisdale has told his players to take nothing for granted when they take on Blackpool in the League Two play-off final on Sunday.
The Grecians secured a spot in the final by scoring a 95th-minute winner against Carlisle United at St James Park on Thursday, May 18, but Tis has warned his players to come down from the elation of that moment as the job is not complete yet.
Having got City to Wembley twice before in the Conference play-off finals when they lost to Morecambe 2-1 in 2007 and then beat Cambridge United a year later, Tis has experienced the highs and lows of losing at the iconic stadium and issued the following warning to his team.
“Take nothing for granted,” he said. “You come through the play-off semi-final as high as a kite because just the nature of it – to win a semi-final two-legged game – you feel you have achieved something. You feel absolutely exhilarated, but actually you have still got one game to go."
