Londoner Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Easy phrase to through about....but one that is very relevant now we approach the end of the season. Both derby and Boro gave tougher run ins than us. Both have big teams to go to especially derby who have Boro cardiff villa and Preston still to play. Somehow we are still in with a playoff chance.....but we need to get our confidence back, and quickly, to give ourselves a chance. We have Brentford our bogey side we have to win imo for confidence and pressure on those 2 sides above us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 Think we will beat Brentford, we took a point today and we did not play well. Think we are going to make a good game and win on monday. It seem like it our season this year. Wolves helped us and Sunderland are two up vs Derby. Always believe, COYR!!!

ChippenhamRed Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 If someone said now we could draw on Monday while all our play off rivals lose, I'd take that. "Must win" is the most misused phrase in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to wire at the min. But when LJ changes it to my 352 now the players are back. We are going to the premiership. As I feel we have better players than wolves playing that system.

robin_unreliant Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I worry about our away form. I can see us losing both the millwall and boro games if we don't improve massively on recent away form. So to have any chance of breaking 70 points we need to win three more at home I reckon. Birmingham, Hull and one other. Whether 71-73 points will be enough who knows but I fear it's unlikely. Millwall looking a good bet at the moment to overtake us. Still you never know. LJ may tweak the team selection and stumble on something that clicks, like he did when we had all the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogkev Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 If we're two points outside of the play-offs by the time we play Sheff Utd, then that would be a must-win game. Brentford is not a must win game. Sure, we should be looking to win the match, but even a defeat would not make the top 6 impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Not a must-win game but given that our away form has been so poor in 2018, we need to collect as many points as possible at home. If we can win our 4 home games & scrape 3 away draws, including against Millwall & Middlesbrough, then we will have 77 points, which should just about be enough to make the playoffs. Then it's hopefully 3 "cup finals" to appropriate a lazy cliche!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I think it is a must win. Even if we do win, I don't think we will make it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 For momentum, confidence and where we are in the season- as well as the obvious e.g. points, it's totally a must win IMO. Of course we could in theory lose and still mathematically make the playoffs- Middlesbrough-Derby still have to play each other for a start, they can't both win can they?? Still a must win though, if we're being realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 I cannot see us beating Brentford. Just think we seem to running on virtually empty in every match now. Like an exhausted horse that has given his all and is still asked to harness up to another chariot race. I think the players give there all each time but somehow the brain and the body is not functioning free enough of nerve, stress and fatigue. Draw at best and more likely a miserable 1-2 home defeat. It has been a great season regardless but fully expecting it to gradually peter out. oh wait... that was some stupid dream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were the horse at the front of the chasing pack. We’ve eased off the pace to save energy going down the last straight. At the moment we’re coming around the last bend neck and neck with the two leaders. Millwall are fast approaching behind and Sheff Utd hit the last fence but are still in it.

Loosey Boy Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 A must win game and one which we as fans must give it everything from kick-off! Looks like another very good crowd beckons with less than 50 tickets left in W3 - what does this leave, c.1500 combined in W2 & W1? Could we sell out with it being POTD?
