Nigel Worthington is hoping for a touch of home comforts on Wednesday when Northern Ireland aim to get their World Cup qualifying campaign up and running.
The province face the highly-rated Czech Republic on the back of this defeat by Slovakia in Bratislava.
Worthington is expecting his side to bounce back as long as they eliminate the mistakes that cost them dear on Saturday.
Northern Ireland we
re undone by two set-pieces with Martin Skrtel and Marek Hamsik scoring in the 46th and 70th minutes
They pulled a goal back with nine minutes to go when Jan Durica steered the ball into his own net, but that was as good as it got despite a frantic finale.
"We always seem to make the job hard for ourselves," said Northern Ireland boss Worthington. "Now we have got to do it again. The Czechs are a very good team and we have a job on our hands, but the crowd will be on our side.
"We know we will have to put in a performance if we are to get a good result from this match."
Despite the loss, Northern Ireland will go into the game with confidence having put England, Spain and Sweden to the sword in Belfast in competitive matches.
Captain Aaron Hughes said: "We have shown in previous campaigns that at home we are good enough to play against the best. With the crowd behind us we have had some good nights at Windsor and hopefully there will be a few more."
Keith Gillespie is winning his fight to face the Czechs after coming off in the second half.
The Sheffield United winger, troubled by an ankle injury, took a knock but should be fit.
