Romared Match Thoughts Barnsley v Northampton Town
I think we may as well spend the week discussing the last game of the season seen as the whole of the season is riding on it .
The other 45 games are gone and it's simply down to this , nothing else can be done .
The positive is that it's in our own hands , what those chasing us are doing is irrelevant just as long as we are winning the game .
The last time the whole season went down to the last game on that famous night at Griffin Park we needed to not only beat Brentford whilst also denying them a place in the PL we needed every other result to land in our favour .
The problem with looking at it from that point of view is that it actually happened .
Whilst we are drawing 0-0 with the others winning the pressure mounts up , anyone who claims the players and coaching staff don't know what's going on elsewhere on such days is telling porkies , the reaction of the crowd during the game filters through to the players and staff for starters , how could they possibly not pick up on it ? .
This is a game played under monumental pressure unless we grab three first half goals with the first two hitting the back of the net in the first twenty minutes .
The longer it goes at 0-0 or worse with the others winning the more the pressure .
It might be in our own hands at 12.30 PM next Saturday but by 12.45 PM it might be a different thing altogether .
