But I would suggest that the pressure on them was far greater than playing for the errr mighty Greens in a relegation fight from the Championship. No disrespect of course, mind you to be fair, facing Millwall at the Den probably isn't too dissimilar to facing the Vietcong!.( Sorry to all those outraged at the comparison, I apologise in advance).Exactly.
None of those made their debut or played in a game with relegation on the line.
Why not, Rooney didn't do too bad for a kid, Mainoo ain't doing too bad for a kid, Bellingham also ain't doing too bad for a kid, our own Trevor Francis didn't do too bad for a kid. Good grief, the average age for a soldier in the Vietnam war was only nnnnnnineteen!,nineteen!.Need I go on, I guess not.
Exactly my point, they weren't "generational talents" when they were first selected. Francis was 16, I used to watch him play for Plymouth schoolboys. Nobody can tell how these players are going to react to pressure until they are selected and put under pressure. Issaka is a very talented player who needs to be given game time. Cricky moses he, s 18 now not 8.Get him on the field of play. Let him free.Except they were all generational talents.
Wow - that's quite a story. What a guy! I'm sure the GA there today will show their full appreciation maybe even a chant of "one Roy Larner"? Don't understand why they couldn't do the presentation just before kick-off though.
Nothing is certain in football. Depends what fate has in store for us. In a way our destiny is not in our hands but Millwall’s 🤔Well today's going to be the day, our destiny is in our own hands. I will gladly take a draw today & see what the others do. Huddersfield v Birmingham & Wednesday v WBA, I cannot see Wednesday continue to win games, WBA need the points to be certain of the playoffs. The other game a draw would be great.
COYG'S let do this!!
Having just checked the table, WBA & Norwich look certain to be in the playoffs, no way will Hull catch either, not with the goal difference.
You forget the referee!Nothing is certain in football. Depends what fate has in store for us. In a way our destiny is not in our hands but Millwall’s 🤔
It’s horrible to think we could feasibly be safe today, or equally in the relegation zone going into the last day. Would feel like Mk Dons again, playing Hull next week if we need a result
Yep. Recent games for me have been a mixture of nervous excitement and dread. Today there is only dread.Yep the uncertainty is horrible. Just put us out of our misery either way!
Feeling VERY nervous about this game, there’s a horrible feel about it.
