Quote: Bombed Out "Anyone else read Radford's interview in the HDM?
I find it embarrassing personally.
Radford getting his excuses in early if we fail to win on Saturday.
I'm sure Pearson beginning of season had us down to be the underdogs in the city and will be happy to see that even our coach doesn't appear confident of the victory.
It's becoming laughable now.
What with the investment off the pitch we still don't invest heavily enough in one of the key areas to be successful.'"
I wouldn't say Rovers are "red-hot favourites" although I still think they will win because I have zero confidence in us at the moment. As the article points out, Rovers haven't won since they beat us at Easter so their form isn't really that much better than ours. Radford's just trying to put himself in a win-win situation with the press and the fans. If we lose he can say "I told you so" but if we win he can build us up as battling "against the odds" and praise the "character" of our squad.
To be honest though I couldn't care less what gets said in the media. Let the coaches, the players and the chairman say what they like as talk is cheap. It all really only comes down to the 80 minutes on Saturday.
And no doubt a controversial moment at the end based on the last two years
