Malky Mackay's Cardiff City have been urged to show patience as they try to overturn a one-goal deficit and reach the Carling Cup final at the expense of Crystal Palace.
Cardiff City have their sights set on another Wembley visit.The Bluebirds go into Tuesday night's semi-final second leg trailing by a single goal and striker Kenny Miller has warned his team-mates not to go chasing the game too early.
The Scotland striker said: "Patience will be the key word - they will play how they play, they can hit you on counter so we know we will have to keep an eye open for that.
"But we don't want to get rushed into it and start throwing things forward to get a goal. We just need to play how we play and hopefully the breakthrough will come.
"We know we have enough in the locker to beat them by the required number of goals."
City won the league clash between the two sides at the Cardiff City Stadium 2-0 in early November and a repeat would send Cardiff through to Wembley to take on either Liverpool or Manchester City.
We know we have enough in the locker to beat them by the required number of goals.
Kenny Miller
Cardiff are 7.50 to win the game 2-0, with Miller 5.50 to open the scoring, while Palace are 3.60 to secure a draw which would seal their place in the final.
Cardiff have lost at Wembley twice in recent years, being beaten in the 2008 FA Cup final and the 2010 Championship play-off final and they are 7.00 to win the Carling Cup.
