In the Journal Barton viewed the game against Orient as " a chance fo them to get a bit of money and for us to get a few goals". Wrong way to approach this game and I hope those that play don't view it like this. We're on a hiding to nothing.

I think you're spot on DB. It's this kind of attitude that stokes up the opposition and lays the seeds of Cup upsets.
You also have to wonder whether it's this overconfident attidude that causes us to regularly lose away to sides we should be capable of beating - like Southampton!!

I hope the O's haven't been reading the Journal.

What's the betting there'll be torrential rain tonight. Quagmired pitches send shivers through me when we play lesser opposition - Sunderland recently. Hereford a bit longer ago.

Have to say, playing "shit" teams worries me. Our worst home performances last season were Bradford and Watford - won but played like shite.
