"We know we're going to have to score and it would help if we can get an early goal," said the defender.
"We didn't create many chances on Tuesday, but we performed better in the second half and at home we know we can get forward and score goals.
"We need a good start. If we get that, with the crowd behind us, it means it could be game on. It's also important to be patient and be careful to give nothing away.
"Two years ago it was unbelievable and it can be the same again."
