What a difference four days makes.
On Thursday, Brentford put in a brilliant performance in their 1-1 draw against Premier League leaders Arsenal. On Monday, they face a Macclesfield team ranked 115 places below them in the English football pyramid.
But Bees boss Keith Andrews insists his approach is the same.
"It's an amazing game for us," Andrews said. "I'm a huge fan of the football pyramid - I love it. I love what it stands for. I love games like this.
"This cup is prestigious - the best club domestic competition in the world with the history attached to it. We want to go as far as we can in this one. The preparation for Macclesfield will be no different than the preparation was for Arsenal.
"I said to the players in the main we are a pretty popular club, we hold ourselves in the right way and do things in the right way. But everyone is going to be up for Macclesfield and that's the nature of the cup."
