Johnson Targets Cup Shock

Last updated : 20 September 2004 By Mark Heys
Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson believes that the pressure is off his side as they take on Premiership outfit Bolton Wanderers in the Carling Cup tommorow.

Johnson knows that the bookmakers will back against the Glovers in favour of last seasons finalists but has urged his players not to be in awe of their opponents

"People will give us no chance, but there will be 11 versus 11 on the pitch, I'll be saying to my players they are only 11 human beings in white shirts.

"It's a fantastic draw for us and another chance to enhance the club's reputation on and off the field. "

The Yeovil boss believes that his players will enjoy coming up against the likes of Wanderers captain Jay-Jay Okocha and feels that the pressure is more firmly on the top flight opposition thus allowing his players to feel more at ease.

"They have people like Jay-Jay Okocha and others with fantastic ability and we have got a chance to match our ability against them. We're not under any pressure. No-one expects us to win and that's probably when teams are at their most dangerous."
