JQ has been interviewed on the merits of the top teams in the Conference and how they fare when they get into the League.
Of course you feel the pressure because you're so near yet so far," he told BBC Sport.
"A refereeing decision could cost you, someone could get sent off.
"You need to make sure all your planning takes that into account, tell players not to get involved with referees because discipline is very important.
"And the people in your team with experience need to play big games for you. You need them in form."
Quinn, who scored nearly 300 goals in a playing career spanning 23 years, said the play-off hopefuls with previous league experience - such as Carlisle, Halifax and Hereford - did not necessarily have an advantage in such a tight league.
"You're always there to be shot down," he said.
"And it's proven over the years that teams that come out of the league find it difficult to get straight back in - which is bad news for Carlisle.
"The difference for them is that they have that extra bit of money because they get bigger gates, so they can recruit slightly better-quality players."
"I don't think there's a great gulf in class between the leagues - except when it comes to strikers," said Quinn, currently assistant manager at Peterborough.
"I just feel that when you get into the league you need two strikers scoring 15-20 goals a season.
"Unfortunately, for me at Shrewsbury, my leading scorer was on about four goals while Phil Jevons at Yeovil was on about 15.
"That is the difference."

He has been a shadow of his former self for 18 months and that isn't all Quinny's fault. Thankfully his form finally seems to be coming back to him. Well let's hope so anyway.

scored 15 last season.
However i did say that in his previous LEAGUE seasons he had scored 20+22.
Maybe his poor scoring rate can be attributted, to being criticised in the local press by Quinn, going from being a regular starter to being a regular sub (midway through last season about November...)
Oh and how many strike partners has he had?
Lowe,Darby,Cramb,Grant,Quinn,Aiston,by himself,Langmead anymore?

It's very easy to blame Quinny for all of Luke's failings. I'm sure that's not the case.

maybe, but i find it hard to blame a player, who still gives his all, hasnt spoken out about not being able to move to a bigger club, has taken all the criticism thrown at him in the local press, continues to train hard and continues to give his all during a match.
Oh and who has improved his disciplinery record.
