Take a point and remain five points away from the bottom three, or GO-FOR-IT in the hope of winning, leap-frogging Newcastle and extending the gap to eight points, but with the risk of losing and being just two points in front of Fulham, with them retaining a game in hand.

We need to win and get our season back on track. Enough of the draws against the bottom teams, we're at home, we're better than that

I think we need to go for the win. The home record is embarrassing. Getting the "no wins at home" curse off our backs is almost as important as the 3 points.

Would not "take" a draw. I want a win.

But a draw, if it happens, would not be the end of the world, although the match thread may disagree.

Obviously we need wins and points, but there are plenty of games to go. Good not to lose today though!

Well, I'm the one (so far) in the minority. In terms of the comments, I wouldn't be 'happy with that' but, then again, 'the worst that could possibly happen' with a clear result is that a close relegation rival could get 3 points, and we none.
I'll take keeping the gap with Fulham to five points, and getting a point closer to Newcastle at this stage. Survival is key for me.

No, if I was afraid of the risks I would have stopped watching when all teams still had 0 games played. I'm excited. Excited because of the chance of winning as well as the risk of losing. Anyone "taking a draw" before a game like this should get a different hobby.

Beat Fulham and Burnley and we are pretty much safe I reckon.

Tonight a win is vital despite there being loads of points to go for. We will play much better if w are not looking over our shoulders at the bottom 3.

I have one or two other hobbies -- Test cricket, wine -- but, no, not getting one. I'm excited too. I suspect that it'll be a cagey affair, with not m/any goals. There's a lot riding on it: the gap between the two clubs after the game will be one of 2, 5 or 8.

Need 3 points from this game. Spurs and Liverpool coming next so can't imagine any points then.

I'd normally say yes, I'd be happy with the draw, but this SHOULD be one of the more 'winnable' games, so go for it. Fail to win and it might mean having to pick up another win against a stronger team (or Palace) further down the line. Having the points on the board and being able to THEN settle for a draw against that/those team(s) would be preferable. Also, it would be nice to have back-to-back wins and a bit of momentum/confidence boosting and also get the 'they never win at home' monkey off the back.

But it's obviously not the end of the world if it WAS a draw...

I’d just like an uncomplicated 3 points, not much to ask for is it.
