A draw wouldn't be a bad result, but, a win could well mean that a win against Chelsea would seal our champions league position. The two games up here, first we should have won comfortably and were undone by dreadful defending from a free kick, second we were an offside decision from winning with a last gap winner.
 

Lost two, but, could and probably should have been won two. Pedro missing is a bonus as he is definitely their key player currently. As mentioned in an earlier post, we need to start strong and watch their speed on the break. It will be a tough game, but, if we turn up as we did against Arsenal and Liverpool in the cup, I've got no doubt we can come away with a massive victory.

The obvious worry, is for some reason (like Bournemouth), we seem to never give our best performances when playing Brighton. Only time was two years ago in similar circumstances with champions league qualification, so I hope the importance ensures our players are on it again.

The common denominator with both Bournemouth and Brighton is that they have extremely good tactical managers that have enabled them to over perform. We have a better team but tactically they have both got the better of us recently.  That needs to stop on Sunday.

TBF we have exactly that ourselves.

Time to push on, 0-2

Their manager is a fucking rookie. He's got a good long while before he proves he's a good tactical manager.

I'd be happy with a draw, especially if results go our way elsewhere in the PL.

Bah. Thought this was today. Ordered a curry and everything

These lot seemingly have most players back for this, only missing Pedro and Rutter. Was confident earlier in the week, not so much now. Massive game.

We have most of ours back & only missing Big Joe & Targett! 3rd spot up for grabs. Motivation enough.

We'll be fine.  

[Elliottman]

Can’t wait for this. Will be a cracking bank holiday Sunday if we win 🍻

As long as the fucking Mackem toucher doesn't score

Win this and I can't see us finishing below 5th. That's Villa needing to win there games and us to lose 3 remaining, Chelsea play Forest last game. If Liverpool are still up for it and get at least a draw tomorrow and we win then if we beat Chelsea they can't get above us.

 

Huge day tomorrow and really need that win.

[Weezertron]

I'll only take a win here. I've supported the club long enough not to want to rely on the home games for wins.

Webster likely won't play either.

Liverpool may be more dangerous as they are relaxed and over the line. No pressure on them (hopefully ).

Who are they getting back that we should worry about?

[Scoot]

Already nervous about tomorrow. Come on lads!!!
