Adam Chambers: Don't let Wembley dream die

The 34-year-old is the most experienced member of the Saddlers squad, with more than 400 career appearances.

And he is now the closest he has ever been to reaching the home of English football with the Saddlers carrying a 2-0 lead into the second leg of their Johnstone's Paint Trophy Northern Area Final second leg with Preston.

"The chance to play at Wembley does not come along that often and I will be saying that to the lads," said Chambers, who made his professional debut for Albion aged 19.

"It's something we have to embrace and enjoy."

"The fact we will be playing in front of a sell-out crowd at the Banks's in an emotional atmosphere is something we have to use to spur us on. The prize of playing at Wembley is something you don't get the chance to play for everyday and you never know if you will get the chance again.

"We've got to take it."

The Saddlers are big favourites to progress, courtesy of their two-goal advantage.

But the skipper insists they must not lose sight of the basics on what promises to be a highly-charged night at the Banks's Stadium.

"We have had a good run in this competition, beating a couple of decent sides along the way," he said.

"Everyone at the club wants us to get there and we need to be focused on the task in hand. If you start thinking about other things, your mind wanders. You need to stay focused on the performance and, if that is right, we will stand a good chance of winning the game."

Chambers hopes his younger team-mates make the most of the atmosphere generated by the full house.

"As a young player you want to play in front of a big stadium, in front of thousands of people in big games," he said. "We have to embrace the moment."
