Todd Cantwell hopes Blackburn Rovers fans can enjoy their play-off showdown at Sheffield United after reflecting on the relegation anxiety of last season.
Rovers need to win at Bramall Lane and for results to fall in their favour elsewhere, as was the case two years ago at Millwall. Jon Dahl Tomasson's side did their job that day but goal difference denied them a top-six finish.
Blackburn have momentum after four successive wins and that spirit is what they'll take to Sheffield. Backed by a sell-out away end, Cantwell hopes the fans can enjoy their afternoon.
"Yeah, we're feeling good," Cantwell said.

"Obviously we know that a lot of things are going to happen that's out of our hands, but we know what's in our hands and we know we need to win. So, yeah, we'll go there fully focused to do so.
"I think we've been playing well and we know that internally. The tough run of games we had where we didn't pick up any points wasn't fun.
"I think now looking at that, it probably makes it more frustrating. But listen, it's part of the Championship and yeah, we are where we are right now.
"I think for the fans, I don't think it's down to them tomorrow if I'm being completely honest. I think they can go there and just enjoy the game. I think, from their perspective, it's exciting.
"This time last year, they needed to win to stay in the league. So, this season, to have them go into the last game and be saying, we might have a chance again in the Premier League through the play-offs.
"I think the fans should be happy and I think it's a good example of progression. We've got the game and we know what our job is.
"If it's not enough tomorrow, winning and other teams win, at least we can say we finished the season really strongly and we can be really optimistic about next season. Obviously, if we do win and results go our way, then fantastic, more exciting games to play."
Cantwell has more experience than most of playing in big matches, having been on the European stage with Rangers. It will be another cup-final atmosphere on Saturday with Rovers needing to win.
Ensuring that the mentality is correct will be a big part of the challenge. Cantwell expects Sheffield United to be up for the game too despite having nothing tangible to play for.
"I think it sounds quite cliche, but you've just got to attack the game the same way you would any other game," he said.
"You've got to try and win. Of course, there's more on the line but you can't attack it in a different way. You can't be too emotional. You can't be too reactive to situations.
"Sheffield United have probably been arguably one of the hardest games I've played in so far this season. I know exactly how good they are.
"Chris Wilder will have them set up in a way that they're trying to win the game as well. There's no chance that they're not going to be trying to win that game tomorrow.
"They've got a very strong squad, so it doesn't matter if there's rotation within their squad. They've got a very strong squad. So, listen, I think it's really important we concentrate on us tomorrow."
