On a scale of 1 (doesn't matter at all) to 10 (the world will end if we don't win) how must win is tomorrow's game?

[Albion] How "must win" is the Sheffield United game?

It's a clear 10, if only due to lack of points on the board against teams we might reasonably have hoped to beat. But this is The Pratfall Before Christmas waiting to happen for the Albion. Because the points have to come from SOMEWHERE and Sheffield United will doubtless have earmarked this as the game where they start to pick up points. Fascinating state of play this early in the season. Could very well dictate the narrative for both clubs over the coming months. It's THAT important. IMHO, like

Potter would tell you '0', but even he must be a little anxious to get some wins on the board now

I think it’s a cup final for us, it has to be, it ought to be... We need it as the fans, the players need it and GP clearly needs it. It’s a huge measure of our level, our confidence and our right to be in this division.
If ever a game was must win, this is simply it.
An early goal and the points will follow... we need to be on it from the get go and anything less, will (I’m afraid) be a failure. They are shot and if we’re not able to show our quality we deserve nothing and will receive it - again.
I have to say, I do think we’ll win and convincingly too... 3 or 4-0 to be precise.

Nowhere near a 10 yet - still got 25 games left - a 10 for me would be needing 3 points to stay up last game of the season. It's not a 1 either though as we could do with a win for the confidence and to help our poor home record. I've gone with a 4.

It's certainly a must not lose game , I'll wager we have at least 4 gilt edge chances to score to their 1 and it will still be a close game .
Maupay looks shot to bits and it wouldn't surprise me to see Connolly start with Welbeck tomorrow, we simply have to start converting our magnificent XG in to real goals or face the drop .

How are going to win another game this season if we can’t win even one against two bottom 3 teams with no opposition fans. Shit or bust time for Potter I’m afraid, he either does the job tomorrow or we have to find someone who will
Is it PotG?

If we don't win, not too sure when the next decent chance is.

5. A defeat won't relegate us and a victory will not save us. Given our risible home record a win would certainly get a monkey off our back and three points would be most welcome, it should not define our season either way.

They can't ALL be 'meh don't matter we'll get to the required points total easy peasy' because you have to start picking points somewhere sometime. And sunday IS that somewhere sometime.
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. It's the Albion way

Not panicking yet - I personally think this has got a draw written all over it with both teams struggling to score many although ironically I did go for a 1-0 win.
A win is not vital yet so I'd go for a 4 on the scale but still feel we will get our first home win of the season tomorrow, if only just. Good luck guys.

Exactly.
Praise be.
We have to start like we finished at Fulham - that’s a problem for me, alas sometimes the greatest tacticians are not the greatest motivator’s... a combination of the two and you’re laughing.
This is a fantastic opportunity to win big on every level.
GP has to be drumming that in, surely - it’ll virtually guarantee Sheff Utd being relegated and heap pressure on WBA and Fulham too.
It’s so must win it really, really hurts.

strong and stable with me, or...
We are desperate for a win, but sometimes an animal is most dangerous when it is wounded. It's not easy game, Sheff Utd have had a wretched run of form, but they aren't rubbish. I'm with you, it's a big 'Must Not Lose' rather than a 'Must Win' at the 14 games into the season mark. I think it is a big 'Must Win' for them rather than us.
