Manager Graham Baker wants Woking to relax in final

Woking

Woking manager Graham Baker wants his team to forget about any pressure when they travel to Bath for the Blue Square South play-off final on Sunday.

Woking go into the match having lost only one of their last 12 games.

Baker told BBC Surrey: "No matter how big the occasion or the game, you'll only do your best if you're relaxed.

"Yes it's a big game but we don't want to build it up too much. We've just got to make sure we do our thing and concentrate on ourselves."

He added: "We need to be brave enough to take in all the tension, all the atmosphere and just give our best.

"We have to go there with the belief we can do it obviously, but we have to make sure we go there in a relaxed way."

Woking have lost both their league games to Bath City this season. The first was a 5-0 away defeat in early December followed by a 3-1 home defeat later that month.

"In my eyes what's happened before this season in the two previous games is not relevant," Baker said.

"Whether it is to the players and it's in their heads, we'll find out on Sunday. I don't think it is."

The Cards finished in the play-off places after they beat Weymouth on the final day of the season and Braintree Town lost to Newport County.
