Must win game! Seen 2 quotes tonight from manger/player saying it’s a must not lose game. Looks like we are already playing for a point!
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Saw the interview earlier and thought the same. Bloody hope not. It’s a game we’ve got to have a real go at getting 3 points. All the pre match talk about how good the opposition are and how difficult it is in this division hardly installs confidence in the team going out there to play.
When we were in the championship we set our sights on a playoff spot for the first few seasons. It was almost as if it was job done simply making the playoffs. When we realised we were good enough for the top 2, the mind set changed, we missed out on goal difference one season and went up the following year. Our mentality needs to change and we need to believe that we can compete at this level. From what I’ve seen this season we are more than capable of staying up.

Spot on, it’s all about belief. I think we play with too much fear. It’s not necessarily about attacking all the time but it’s about the confidence of knowing you are at least as good as the opposition and deserve to be where you are. We are at home, we should expect to win and not play with a fear of losing. Ok a draw is not the end of the world and neither is a defeat but a win breeds confidence and confidence produces more wins. It’s a mental battle as much as it is an ability battle and we need to believe.
After a pint or two, you should be a little more relaxed, and consequently, you're less likely to suffer a heart attack when you give yourself a shock.
I may have made that up.
Ginger beer?

Not sure the players would respond to 97 quotes, just offer them more money for a win?

No he's not. It's just the way he walks.
Oops, I had a senior moment when working out the target and briefly dreamt there were 40 games in a season (despite working out that having played 25 we only have 13 left
). I think we need 36 or 37 points, so 12 or more than we have.That's 3 wins and 3 or 4 draws, or 2 wins and 6 or 7 draws.
I feel like we've just got 2 extra points and it's not even midday!

If we go one up, be ready for siege mentallity and defence, its been the same all season and its not going to change. If we go one down, well, there is no plan B.

I think we need a 8-2-0 formation just to be safe

Mathematically of course not a must win game today.
But realistically it is to give us a chance of avoiding relegation.
Need team and crowd firing on all cylinders today!!!!!

Ok, so if we draw SSN won't put an R next to our name today. Ok, that's a good start.
So if we draw today, we have no realistic chance of survival? Er, that's not right is it. How much chance (probability) are you talking exactly?

It's easy with hindsight....... but it looked to me as if we could have finished with 6 or 7 if only the luck had been with us.

I can only agree with you, however once we went one up did you notice that we sat back, five across the back and they scored. Best thing that happened to us yestereday was that West Ham scored, that said I thought they were truly poor.
