termite111 Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 I was just thinking after the game against norwich on sat that the past couple of games we have won or played well in at home we have attacked the kop end first. Why don't we do this more often cause it seems to gee them up alot more in the first half and they look a hell of a lot better.
SamL Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 We didn't against Palace I think it's just luck more than anything.
Shrenchel Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 I remember in the MON days there was an article in The Fox about how we won three times as many games when we played the second half towards the kop. That was at Filbo though, can't see why it would make any difference nowadays. We need to be winning comfortably first before the kop starts making any sorta audible noise that distinguishes it from the family stand.
Stevosevic Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 The players did actually decide to shoot to the Kop in the first half for the Ipswich game, just to see if it could change our luck. Didn't anyone else know this? They mentioned it after the game.

They mentioned it after the game. Yeah I remember them saying that. Although I would have thought this was Norwich's idea on Saturday, Tactic wise, because the sun was blinding Alnwick, and they thought they could make use of that, obviously not though
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 This is one of those pshycological thingys that might just work - remember the Cardiff dressing room curse.

Flynny Posted 18 February 2008 Posted 18 February 2008 What we really need to do is switch the kop and the family stand. I'll get started on a poll...

Koke Posted 19 February 2008 Posted 19 February 2008 Norwich won the coin toss and they didn't want their keeper getting the sun in his eyes.
Mickey O'Neil Posted 19 February 2008 Posted 19 February 2008 Norwich won the coin toss and they didn't want their keeper getting the sun in his eyes. That's what I thought. I was shitting meself when we were swapping ends after the toss-up. Shows what I know!

Sorry for mentioning it but just a bit of a coincidence that it's started working in that way. if it doesn't make a difference why do they always choose to shoot to the kop in the second half. cause it's A MIND THING just like when players touch the pitch before coming on its superstitions and if it works then carry on. you mention something on this forum and all you get back is arsy comments get a grip people. Forum is excellent though
