BIGPHIL Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 How important does a win on Monday become. A chance to be top of the Championship totally on merit. What would all our critics have to say about our staying power.COME ON YOU REDSsssssssssssssssssss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Today's results don't affect the importance of Monday's game in the slightest. 3 points is still 3 points.There are no prizes for being top 13 games from the end of the season.

You could also argue that being top makes other teams give a bit extra when playing against you.I hope our players are just trying to do their best every game and not paying too much attention to the table. It's a well worn adage but successful teams take things a game at a time and so should we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolborn_and_red Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Well, according to Paul Merson on today's Sky, we don't have the staying power and it will be a Watford and Stoke top two. Yet another Sky pundit who doesn't give credit where it's due. Does he know that we have beaten both Watford and Stoke? Does he know that we played Stoke off the park? Did he even watch our games. I'm guessing he aint seen that many and certainly not the Stoke game. I hope GJ shows the boys his remarks before the game on Monday night so they can ram them right down his throat.

Too worried about what Arsenal are doing and how the favourite in the 3.30 at Kempton Park is getting on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a well worn adage but successful teams take things a game at a time and so should we.The team has excelled at this so far this season and it's a bit of a mantra with GJ. But as fans we can't help getting a little bit excited can we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGPHIL Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Of course at the end of the day its al aboit 3 pts. But unlike most other sets of games we knowwhere we are if we get the win. i also appreciate you get nothing for being top with 13 to go. GJ said we only worry about our result if other results go our way thats a bonus. Well this weekend the result went our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too worried about what Arsenal are doing and how the favourite in the 3.30 at Kempton Park is getting on.And he and a lot of his Sky chums had the top top 2 as West Brom and Watford a few weeks back.....just change their minds as teams lose or win..!!

Alex_BCFC Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Paul Merson might be right but I doubt it. Yesterday when Charlton were 2 up he said 'there is no way back for Watford from 2 down'. 2 minutes later it was level... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
