Note: there's always a group of people who misunderstand these polls.

It's NOT asking if we can win - of course we can - but if you'd take a guaranteed point now if you could, or whether you'd "gamble" for the win, risking the defeat.

If you take a point:

Southampton 33pts
Burnley 33pts
Albion 30pts
Newcastle 29pts
Fulham 26pts

If you "gamble" and the worst happens:

Southampton 33pts
Burnley 33pts
Newcastle 31pts
Albion 29pts
Fulham 26pts

If you "gamble" and we win:

Southampton 33pts
Burnley 33pts
Albion 32pts
Newcastle 28pts
Fulham 26pts

Yes, yes I would. Don’t forget that nice as a win would be, a loss is also a real possibility. That would be a fecking disaster.

Never in a million years. A point keeps everyone in with a shout and will be Fulham’s ideal result

Not too sure about you maths, or how we manage to reproduce an entire football club

I've not had a drink in 2021, so no. Copy, paste and laziness.

Absolutely not, if this team has any belief in their ability then nothing short of a win tonight

Same as the last game. Still need all 3 for table and confidence.

Having seen what Palace and West Brom did to us, I’m 100% taking the point which effectively means Newcastle drop 2 points and remain behind us. Because of goal difference they’d need to gain 2 more points than us to get ahead. The Fulham result takes the pressure off a win too.

We are horrific against teams below us, more than happy with the point pre-match after the Saints result.

Ask me again at 90 minutes.....but as it stands, go for the three (risk the zero).

No.

We need a win. We have drawn far too many we could have won.

There won't be many more opportunities this season.

Nope. One of the best remaining chances of getting three points.

Has all the makings of a pratfall waiting to happen. So would be happy(ish) to bank a point now

As others haved said, our form against fellow strugglers has been pretty poor and so I would take the point. As much as I would love the three points, this is more of a must not lose for me than a must win.
