Could be a cracker this game, I assume Bournemouth won’t come and sit back. Don’t think a point would be a bad result tbh.


I do. I know you should just take each game as it comes and not look back or forward too much. But we have some tough looking away games left and a really tricky run to end February. 
 

I know we have made up points elsewhere. But I already feel like we have dropped 6 points against two teams we would be expected to at least draw against at home. Plus some crap away results to boot. 
 

I think our home form is what will get us over the line for Europe. So say we’re targeting, what, 25-30 more points for top 4 or 5? We’ll need to rack up some more wins at home in games like this IMO.

Agree with what you’re saying, I just think it’s inevitable we drop points soon given the run we have been on. If we get 7 from the next 3 I’d be delighted.

Was watching this at home with MrsG, her mother and her bloke. A beef casserole in the slow cooker for afterwards. 

However I got a late call for a perch in my pals box so have thrown them under the bus. Will prep the beef, tho 😉

 

GAME ON!!! 

 

Lol class

An early goal for us is always great but considering their bench is full of kids and a striker who barely played on loan at Watford earlier this season I'd be content if we can keep them out for the first half where they will really be going for it. Then ideally we can pick them off as they tire in the second half.

Yep, they are down to the bare bones, plus they’ve just had a very tough game at Chelsea only a few days ago that may play a factor. Sometimes these things can galvanise a team, similar to us last season.
