...for over-confident approach to the playoff final.
IF Bristol Rovers think they just need to turn up at Wembley to clinch promotion, they have another thing coming.
That's according to Grimsby Town midfielder Scott Brown, ahead of tomorrow's Conference Play-Off Final.
With a place in the Football League at stake, Brown and co are preparing to do battle at the national stadium (2pm).
And while most see Darrell Clarke's side as favourites, the 30-year-old says tomorrow's clash is all about the Mariners.
Brown told the Telegraph: "It's going to be a good day – let's hope we can make it a great one.
"I've read what their players have had to say. It seems like they just have to turn up – but I can assure you, it won't be that easy.
"We are going there to win, and it's all about us and what we do.
"I don't care if we are seen as the underdogs, not one bit.
"Like the gaffer has said, if we had a fully fit squad – which we do – we have every chance of going there and winning.
"I've always said I came here to get this club promoted.
"If we can win at Wembley, it will prove to myself and it was the right move for me."
Brown, who is likely to start in the Town engine room alongside skipper Craig Disley, played in both legs of the semi-final victory over Eastleigh.
And as the Runcorn man prepares to grace the hallowed turf, there will be a honorary group of Mariners in the crowd.
Brown (pictured) added: "All my family are going to be there, and all my close friends too.
"Up until now I've been quite relaxed about it all, to be honest – I've been taking it in my stride.
"But the lads are absolutely buzzing, and these last two weeks have shown how close we are.
"Expectations are high, and there is a real buzz about the club.
"Our fans, the press, friends and family of the players are buzzing – we just can't wait."

I'd love to see some quotes of what he things is any more than what he's said. Sh****thead...
