If you're not used to playing OTB, you're going to be a bit worse until you get used to it.  You have 1900+ blitz, so you should be able to calculate lines decently enough without an analysis board.  All it takes is getting used to seeing the 3D board and recognizing the pieces and squares as quickly as you do online, and you do that simply by becoming experienced in playing OTB.
