The Friesian side has been on a six-game unbeaten run, but Plat is keen to keep his players grounded. "We must also remain nuchter," he told De Telegraaf. "This win only earns us three points and we are still nowhere near the top."

Cambuur face a long journey to Zeeland for their KNVB Beker tie against VV Kloetinge, with a 300km trip ahead of them. Plat has warned that they cannot afford to take any risks with late departures, and will therefore leave early to ensure the team can eat and rest.

Plat is aware of the potential pitfalls of facing an amateur side, having worked in the Tweede Divisie for six years. He expects his players to give their all in the match, saying: "We must go full throttle to take a win back to the bus."
