Morrison confident of Burton win

Cambridge United defender Michael Morrison is confident of beating Burton in the Blue Square Premier play-offs.

The U's travel to the Pirelli Stadium for the first leg on Friday evening and play the return fixture on Tuesday.

"I think out of all the teams we would rather play Burton and we fancy ourselves against them," Morrison told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.

"We won at their place and they only drew at our place, so if you look at that we stand a good chance."

The 20-year-old said he and his team-mates were trying to stay relaxed.

"We've talked about the game but we won't over-talk about it too early," he said.

Let's make it a special season and get promoted

"When we're a day or two away we'll start talking about what they're [Burton] going to do and I know our management have been to watch some of their games.

"We'll be clued up about them and hopefully we can take that as an advantage."

Morrison is amazed at the contrast with the end of last season when the U's narrowly avoided relegation.

"It's unbelievable, for me and a few of the players, what we have achieved this year compared to how difficult it was last year.

"Regardless of whether we do go up or not it's been a fantastic season, but let's make it a special season and get promoted."
