Will we take the golden opportunity to beat and overtake Millwall in the league when we play them on Tuesday or will we get a repeat of recent disappointments like we had against Forest, Derby, 'Boro and Coventry ? Aside from Coventry beating Brighton, results largely went our way yesterday but I feel we must beat Millwall and Doncaster at home and get at least a point from away trips to Brighton and Reading this month to stay away from the bottom 3. We all know there are no easy games but we can help ourselves massively by beating our closest rivals. Will Kilkenny start or will Del use him from the bench again ? Lets hope it is a Happy New Year Up The City
Plus we have a cup game to play this month. Del used to say at St Johnston "I know we will never win the league so the cup was all to go for" Will he take that approach this year or try some different players with survival on his mind?
Redordead - I hope the approach is that survival in the Championship is paramount above all else and that anything extra is a bonus.
Sorry I worded that wrong I meant will he take the cup game using fringe players to see what they are capable off. I would like to get to the next round for once, but survival is number one priority
The most commonly trotted out phrase is "I'm not bothered about the cup" immediately after said team is binned out of it.... This is not normally my attitude as I want more Forest and Liverpool type games but this year, I really don't care if we do go out so long as we survive in the NPC. I asked a question publicly in my previous article (the one about ducks) which has been answered in part but the true test is if we can keep the run, and more importantly, the consistancy going this time. Roll on Crawley, I really thought this might be on tele as a possible upset...?
I think we are on a hiding to nothing at Crawley, and I am quite glad it is not a featured game. When are we going to get a home draw against Prem opposition, so we can make the club some cash ?
Drawing a top 6 club at home would generate a ticket demand and might see young kids coming to really watch the other team with a chance we might catch them ourselves. (a good performance can do this!) A regenerated atmosphere is much needed and thats not to mention the income. I hope we beat Crawley.
