Anyone else bricking it....

[towny4ever]

....for tomorrow?

45 years old & watched since '79 - never gets any easier, just sometimes I rue the day I ever got involved with Town - I'm surprised I've got any teeth left the number of times they have kicked me in them

Just for once pleeeeeeease don't fooook it up when it matters

[yorkie1]

Defo. Think we will do it but worried if we don't. Barnsley will be tough and we could do with sorting it before then. A loss tomorrow would be inconceivable.

[Nickhudds.UTT]

Similar here, gone since mid 70,s ,

just watching brizzle at hull in a shocking game, Hull 2nd and looking so average.

dont care what others think , we have to win tomorrow to give ourselves a chance, gone thru this so many times before. Think its going to be a very long lunchtime until 2.30 pm.

Lets hope MR is not negative.

[OperationPig]

Wednesday v Ipswich .

[BrigDave]

I watched Town throughout the old 2nd division (mid 60s) brilliant when we got promotion to the 1st Division (no premiership)in the 70s - playing the likes of Man Utd Liverpool Chelsea Arsenal etc - we managed to survive 2 seasons before we dropped like a stone.
Took a long time getting back to better football - we have a season like this one - damn - just hope it doesnt happen again.End up in the 3rd tier or lower....
Players keep asking for the crowd to perform - what they forget is, the crowd will perform IF THEY DO - come on Town dont take us down - just two more wins should do it - UTT 4 4 2 attack

[Christ in Shades (art)]

What will be will be, its in our own hands, if we fuck it up it'll be nowt we haven't seen before countless times being Town fans. Lets just get behind em and if we win its fine and dandy, win and we'll be unlucky to be in the bottom come tomorrow tea time.

Lose tomorrow and we're as good as down.

[Deleted]

Win = Fantastic

Draw = Not ideal, but still gives us a fighting chance of staying up.

Lose = suicide

[terrier17]

If we play 1 up front tomorrow and end up going down then robins deserves to get the sacked at end of season!

[jimharrogate]

Lose tomorrow and ST sales will be in meltdown -too much money at stake.

I don't the hierarchy can allow this to happen so easily.

If this is the case we all need to wait at least 2 week before we renew

[johns]

3 things I don't want to see tomorrow 1 up front,southern starting and Peter Clarke going up front after bringing Alan lee for last 5 minutes!

[drayltonboy (independent)]

Having a rounded life, in which following Town has only ever been something to do on a Saturday afternoon and the odd midweek evening(although for nearly 50 years), the answer is no. A disappointment if if we don't win, but there are far more important things in my life to even consider being worried about something over which I have no control.

[blueray4]

Feel like heading down as though it's a 3pm kick off, hopefully to see happy faces exiting. Can't bear to watch. But glutton for punishment I will be there for ko.

[Nickhudds.UTT]

hate 12.30 kick offs, ruins the bloody day and proper build up to the massive disappointment !!!

[OOW2BA]

That result tonight is good news. Gives Watford an incentive for tomorrow and will ensure Hull need something out of the next game against Barnsley.

Now all we need is Town to turn up tomorrow.

Yeah, I know I'm expecting a lot but without hope we have nothing.

[scottieterrier]

No they will get what they deserve. I won't be upset if they get relegated, what's the point, the players haven't played with any passion so why should I

[jimmythebulldog]

Mark Robins on OS about tomorrow's game - “We are planning for Championship football first and foremost next season, but obviously there is a plan in place if we are relegated,” said Mark.


Hopefully the plan starts with a one way discussion in DH's office followed by a swift kick up his arse and a P45.

[ShortbreadPete]

No!

[cj01]

Yeah, I'm really worried about tomorrow's match. We haven't done well against Millwall recently have we? If we win, irrespective of what the other relevant teams do, it will obviously be a huge boost and help reduce the pressure (a little bit) for the last games.

But I still don't understand why some posters will insist on saying that if we lose, we're relegated. Alright, they are entitled to have, and express their opinions, but clearly, logically and mathematically it is wrong, incorrect, not true. It would be hugely disappointing, particularly if those around us pick up points, but it would not be the end.

I don't pretend to know what has gone wrong with this team when compared to the results we were getting early in the season. We all have our theories and suspicions but as a matter of fact, the majority of this team have shown, this season, in this league, that they are capable of beating quality Championship teams, so we must all hope that they produce that form again. Those who weren't here at the beginning of the season have proved themselves at Championship level and have shown that whilst they are not the best, they can at least compete in the Premiership.

If I knew what would spark that confidence/level of performance again, I'd be a successful manager somewhere. Good luck with that MR.

As for the formation. Well most seem to agree that our current midfielders, when playing to their current level of performance, get over run in a 4 4 2 formation. So I fully expect to see 4 5 1 again tomorrow to start with, reverting to 4 4 2 later, when hopefully some of the energy has gone out of the legs of the opposition.

There are those who are advocating to go 4 4 2 and go down fighting. Unconsciously they may have just hit the nail on the head there. If we do go 4 4 2 from the start, we may well be fighting but it may well increase our chances of going down. If we were to go 4 4 2 from the outset, and we lost, I wonder how many would come on here and say, under MR we've tightened up, let in less goals, all while playing 4 5 1 for the majority of the time, why on earth did MR change that (comparatively) successful strategy and suddenly go for a formation that experience has shown this season is not our best.

Poor bloke (MR) is on a hiding to nothing.

True to the usual Town experience, I can't make up my mind whether I'm really looking forward to the game tomorrow, or dreading it!!

Lose today and there are only 2 games left 6 points to play for, with only 2 games left and 3 points behind the next team (should Wolves and Blackburn win today of course) then its out of our own hands, we can't keep saying if this happens if that happens, it'll be our own fault if we go down. We could win up but it may still not be enough, so that why if we lose today and the others win we are probably fooked.

[yorik]

got to go out and win today no messing about with 1 up front just feking win

[Deleted]

if we win then on to the next game.

I dont even contemplate losing before the game. we have to win and if our feckless players dont put in 100% for the full 90 minutes then they need to hang their heads in shame.

Well I didn't want him in first place but I don't think he'd get the sack if we went down. I'd like him to be gone at end of season as I dot think he's man for job, his awful tactics of trying not to lose games, the excuse of the blackburn pitch!? If that's so bad we have no chance then in our last 3 games!
Listening on the radio to home talking is as inspiring as when Wandsworth was here! I don't know how the hell he motivates players in the dressing room, I'd fall asleep! And most of players seem to play like their half awake too most of times!

Would he have been my first choice ? No
Is he a highly inspiring motivational speaker ? No
Was sir alf Ramsey ? No ..Was bob paisley ? No
Are the team improved by Robins in comparison to Grayson ? Yes
Did he really use blackburns pitch as an excuse for defeat ? No
If you sack him now would he have had a fair chance ? No
Is Wandsworth the name of a football manager or a London borough ? The latter

[Christ in Shades (art)]

Its also the name of a prison!!

Yeah I think that the London borough was named after the prison and also named after "Wandsworth fish and chip shop "
