NOTTS County are revved up to tear into Sheffield United at Meadow Lane tomorrow night.
It might not be a big league game – but they still want to put the Blades to the sword in the second round Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
The Magpies have been in great form on the road this season and extended their record unbeaten run to 13 league games with a 4-0 win at Carlisle United.
But they have won three games and lost four on home soil, including their last two against Stevenage and League One leaders Tranmere Rovers.
They are determined to get it right at Meadow Lane and give their fans something to cheer about.
"They want to see us rip teams apart," said boss Keith Curle.
"We don't like losing, but you have to give credit to the teams that have come here and been well organised with two banks of four, trying to frustrate us and our crowd and get them on the players' backs.
"We're still learning how to play against teams that come here with those game plans.
"We have to move the ball quicker to try to open them up and if we can't go through them we have to be able to go round them."
The winner of tomorrow's Trophy tie will face Coventry City away in the third round of the competition.
Despite being unhappy with four home defeats, Curle is not going to slam his players.
"Those games have gone. No matter what I do, I can't change those results," he added.
"We will learn from them, but they are history.
"We don't want an environment where players are scared of making mistakes or going onto the field thinking 'I can't do this or that' because they end up not performing.
"When they go out on the pitch it's all about what they're going to do.
"We put them in a positive frame of mind about how they are going to hurt the opposition."
