What do they know????

If at half-time WBA and Brentford are both 2-0, then mentally in the second half we will be thinking about the playoffs and conceded. The second-half is Wigan's playoff final, but our automatic hopes may be gone.

Opinions mate just like us, although most of our opinions are from the heart and not the head.

Scott Parker should be clear before the game with the players and everyone else from the club who is at the game that no one from the club is to look at what is going on at the other games - and if they do hear on the grapevine, they are not to breathe a word to the players.  We just need to win and then see what has happened elsewhere, as it doesn't affect what we need to do. The last thing we would want would be us chucking a lead away late on partly through demotivation if some of the payers think the other results aren't going our way. And even worse, imagine us chucking away an automatic promotion spot if there is a dramatic turnaround in the other games, or if someone had been fed the wrong score and communicated it to the players.  It is very unlikely that all three results will go our way, so the best attitude for the players and staff is to focus entirely and resolutely on winning our game, and only after that, look at what has happened elsewhere.

Whilst i sort of agree with the "concentrate on what you can do" mantra. I'd be gutted if the management weren't frantically pushing us on in search of a winner if by some magic the other two games are in our favour.

I would say their opinions are from somewhere a lot lower than either  :dft012: 064.gif 049:gif

Yes, those opinions are sound and I tend to agree with them but I expect Scott Parker to think otherwise and to get his players on the field tonight thinking there is a chance .
