How should a team handle a must-win game away from home?

Some sides attack from the first minute, others try to quiet the crowd early.

What is the right approach in a hostile away game you cannot afford to lose?

Can't be handing the initiative to a hostile crowd straight off, or you'll just invite wave after wave. Best way to quieten them down is keep possession tidy for the first fifteen and draw the sting out of the game. Once the locals start getting restless with their own players, that's when you nick one on the break and let the panic set in on the terraces. Too many managers go gung-ho and get caught cold.
