South Coast Red Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 For the last 10 years in League One every season has started with us under pressure from the start because :-1 Bookies always make the "big clubs" favourites to start with. In League One terms we were. 2 Us fans hated being there3 The Board couldn't finance the Club on League One income4 So many near missesThis season not one of us really expects us to go up , no one made us favourites and the Directors have got lots more dosh to play with.All adds up to No Pressure on the players , other than to compete as well as they can and enjoy their football.When you listen to the Sheffield clubs ,QPR , Palace , Charlton etc etc don't you think that the fact our players arn't under that level of expectancy/pressure is part of the reason we are doing so well ? Just a thought , if you agree stop posting about promotion , pour a beer/cider , sit back , relax and enjoy the ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Ill drink to that its great just to be able to enjoy the match without worrying what other teams around us are doingOther teams :noexpression: I`m not to bothered what our own team is doing, although nice to win and be successfull, what will be will be, enjoy the moment/day/game, the end. Life`s way to short to get stressed out over a game of footie; Bill Shankly`s famous comments along the lines of; "some people think footies a matter of life or death, I can assure you its more important than that" is way wide of the mark.So although important our teams progress is not that important.

Luke_Ciderhead Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Great post by my namesake!I've always said that once we were promoted from this division, the huge amount of pressure on the players and management would lift and we would be able to relax and enjoy our football.
