there is alot of difference between the first game and the last - ie if there is something still on the last game of the season, it is do or die - we have time to make up from whatever the result may be on Saturday. if we need to win the last game of the season to make the playoffs and we dont - I may need to be on suicide watch. but if we lose on Saturday, I think I may just recover. I know the theory behind it - whatever position we are in on the last day will be the result of the rest of the season but still, come on, do we need to put final day pressure on them already?
that said I reckon this season is probably the most important for us in a long while to get a good start. we have a losing mentality to turn around, plus we need to keep the fans on board this season. Alot of fans are ok with this relegation malarky at the moment because they think we will win more often -if we start losing, the reality of games against Stevenage and Yeovil will come crashing down.
