'I'LL RUN 'TIL I DROP'

Posted on: Sat 03 Apr 2010

ARGYLE goal-hero Bradley Wright-Phillips admitted that he will run until he drops to try to keep the Pilgrims in the Championship.

BWP's injury-time winner in the 2-1 come-from-behind win at Doncaster means Argyle still have everything to play for as the season enters its final five matches.

Things had not been going so well from Bradley and his team-mates before Doncaster's James Coppinger opened the scoring just before the hour.

"When they scored, we had nothing to lose," explained BWP. "We're in a position now where we need three points and it gives us that urge to go at them.

"There is one thing we do if it's not going right for us with the ball - we'll always work hard at closing down defenders and run until we can't run any more.

"I'll run until I drop. If the manager feels I can't make it, he'll take me off. We've got Kenny Cooper, Rory Fallon, Joe Mason to come on."

Argyle assistant head coach John Carver paid tribute to the Pilgrims' number 10, who has had to overcome injury and a long lay-off to claim his place in the Argyle starting line-up, and knows that his goal at the Keepmoat was a vital one.

"It could be priceless," said John.

"Since I arrived here, he has worked extremely hard. When I arrived at the club, he had just come back from an injury and we did not have many reserve games for him to play in, so he had a difficult time.

"But he got his head down, he worked hard, he waited for his opportunity, and he's taken that opportunity. That has to continue."

BWP reckons the Greens' team-spirit will serve them well in the season's final home stretch, especially after learning that relegation rivals, Watford, Sheffield Wednesday Crystal Palace had failed to win.

"It's great news, when you hear stuff like that," he said. "Even if they'd won, we have just got to keep on winning. Then whatever happens is what is meant to be.

"We get written off and we deal with the pressure.

"[We have] a good bunch of lads. You can't be down, because you'd lose before you've even started playing. You have just got to take every game as it comes."
