Robson's Plea!

Robson is urging the 28,000 crowd on Sunday not to get distracted in the other games because if the fans get anxious the players will to. Robson has asked all fans to turn of there radio’s and mobiles.
“The fans are going to have a massive part to play as well as the players, They could make us anxious because they know the scores of the other games.”
“If we need to score a goal and they (the fans) get anxious, it will make the players anxious, that’s why you have to stay focused on your own results”
Robson clearly knows that the fans will be checking on other results and the club may even have the other games on down stairs on the television’s but as long as Albion cheer on the team just like at the Palace game in 01/02 I’m sure we can count on them for a win then it all comes down to what the other scores end up as.
Robson has been relegated on the last day of the season before failing to win away at Leeds whilst in charge of Boro put them down whilst Coventry avoided the drop. It is also well known that he has lost in 3 cup finals…. Surely he’s due a bit of luck? All will be revealed by 5pm Sunday evening… Unless of course the floodlights turn off ‘accidentally’ somewhere.
