Stevenage boss Alex Revell says his team are ready to go "above and beyond" as they try to overturn a one-goal deficit against Stockport County and reach the League One play-off final.
Saturday's first leg seemed certain to end in a goalless draw until a defensive lapse allowed Ben Osborn to give County the win in added time.
Stockport will have home advantage for Wednesday's re-match and Revell told BBC Three Counties Radio: "The manual goes out the window. We've got to show people who we are, and play with courage.
"We've got one last chance to get into what would be the biggest game in our history - we know that and we'll be doing everything we can to get there."
Revell believes that although they are behind, the first-leg result allows for clarity of thinking, which might not have been the case had the game been drawn.
"This group deals really well with adversity, really well with knowing what they have to do. A draw is that unknown, do you go attacking, do you defend?
"For us, we know we've got to win the game, we've got a game plan to go and do that and if we play to our best, full of energy and the aggression and intent we've had all season, then we give ourselves the best chance," he said.
Stevenage have never played in the Championship since they joined the English Football League 16 years ago, which is a huge incentive as they look to set up a Wembley meeting with either Bradford City or Bolton Wanderers.
Alex Revell stated that his team must show courage and go 'above and beyond' to overturn the one-goal deficit.
The first leg ended with Stockport County winning 1-0 due to a late goal by Ben Osborn.
The rematch is scheduled for Wednesday, where Stockport will have home advantage.

And they are undaunted by the prospect of a 360-mile round trip to Stockport, where they won 3-1 in December.
"You don't need to go over a ploughed field. We have meetings with individuals about little things we could have done slightly better (in the first leg). We know the goal was a mistake but before that it was two teams competing to try and get the best out of the game," Revell said.
"For us now, we move on, talk to people about how we could do better and look forward to Wednesday and showing that.
"This squad is really prepared to go above and beyond. That's what we have to do, go above and beyond for each other to get the win - it's something we've done all season and we have to keep doing it."
