It’s honestly easier than saying you think we might win a game of football then have loads of quotes calling you mad.

Not a single quote anywhere calling her mad, one or two suggesting that it’s not a foregone conclusion that we beat them but that’s all.

Win this and it catapults us up the table

We have been in this position so many times before this season and not taken advantage of it

For once, for fucks sake, get the job done

Have a bit of courage.

And we are far from a shit side. Erratic as fuck for sure but there's some good players who can play some good football hidden in this squad. Ndiaye and Gueye back even if not starting should give us a lift as well and we can raise the atmosphere by celebrating their success.

Yeah, with one of them at right back.

Do we have 3 CB’s ?

Just going off our recent home form against Sunderland, Wolves and Brentford. Althouh it's more accurate to say I expect a point, rather than happy with just a point.

It was in response to a response to playing Brainthwaite in a back three.

Ah o.k, weeks away though.

Big night under the lights, 98th minute winner from Beto

I’d put ndiaye in for jack and leave the rest as was last game….why change ?

Think we all know the difference between wanting and expecting.

And that neither will make any difference to the outcome.

Yeah only if Brainthwaite was back , Ndiaye and Barry up top both are quick and like to come for the ball and go wide

Would be incredible to go into next weekend 7th in the league with away matches at Brighton and Fulham to come.

Agreed, however part of me thinks we should always be careful with Ndiaye; he is our everything.

Feels like one of the biggest games of the season for us now.

We know we can get results away against plenty of teams. We've got to solve the home thing if we're going to do something special (any kind of Europe), relative to our expectations at the start of the season.

Just 15 games left after this one.

Win and we're right in the mix for Europe with key players coming back, only playing once a week. Lose or draw and we're probably settling into that lower mid-table group realistically.
