oldtype Posted December 29, 2025 Share Posted December 29, 2025 This sort of fixture reminds me why I hate football. Three points will provide mild relief. Anything else, intense pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this sort of expectation does anyone's mental health any good. For instance we could draw one - probably two - winning the rest, and that would still have us well in the race, though with a few less favourable fixtures. Point is, anything can happen between now and full-time in the 38th game. Well if you can win 4 games on the bounce, it takes the pressure off having to win too many of those last 16. Every game you don't win now just compounds the difficulty later. So yeah, I prefer the pressure of winning the easy games now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSIllustrious Posted December 29, 2025 Share Posted December 29, 2025 I thought ManU was going to be easy (Afcon, injuries, Amorim…), now I feel the same about Burnley…doesnt bode well, but still 3-0 win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we will lose all our away games in February, but its a brutal month. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted December 30, 2025 Share Posted December 30, 2025 I’d say we need a result and a performance, but at this point a result with a turgid performance would feel fucking great. Only Wolves has shitter away form this season, and this is one of the few remaining away games where we would be obvious favourites. Just fucking win, lads.

We know how that ended last season. Here's praying for the same again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constant droning about any move that isn’t perfect. Whichever the current hated player is getting slagged from minute one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 30, 2025 Share Posted December 30, 2025 Yeah I never touch the match threads. Toys out of prams in real time, nar thanks. A couple of hours on here is more depressing than the equivalent time in the East Stand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted December 30, 2025 Share Posted December 30, 2025 Think there will be three changes. Same back 5. Willock - Tonali - Joelinton Murphy - Wissa - Gordon Be surprised if Pope is back in, think FA Cup game will be his gateway to coming back in, unless Ramsdale makes an almighty error before then.

Scoot Posted December 30, 2025 Share Posted December 30, 2025 This is a must win. No 2 ways about it. It would set us up nicely for the run of home games we have after this. Draw, not good enough. Defeat, unthinkable! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amount of times I've been in the match thread and it's the total antithesis of the actual game I'm watching in real time, diametrically opposed doom and gloom.
