That was a bit of a quirk, although we have scored quickly following opposition goals since. All the same, glad I witnessed two of the 3 first minute goals in person!

The mood for this evening is generally subdued amongst Bees fans, a mixture of our tough time on the road this season and yet another injury "crisis". It's most noticeable in defence, as shown in the list below, but players like Jensen and Thiago are also big misses for us.

Rico Henry
Aaron Hickey
Kristoffer Ajer
Ethan Pinnock
Sepp van den Berg
Mathias Jensen
Igor Thiago
Josh Dasilva
Gustavo Nunes
Please don’t use that against us of all clubs. We topped the Sky Injuries League table couple weeks back!

Need a result tonight to get us back in to the play-offs and maintain our dreams of making it to the promised land.

As a side note, since I joined in with this nonsense (v stains) we've not won. If we fail to win tonight, that's my NY resolution sorted
This next result could be mirth-defining.

I think this is the first 'must win' of the season.
Next up....
Villa away = we never get a thing there.
Arsenal home = tough.
If we don't get 3 points tonight then we could easily be looking at 8 games without a win, which would leave European ambition in tatters and mounting pressure on Fab and the team.

This is nothing like 2018 though when we picked up about 5 points out of 45, back then our form and general play was dire, we're playing OK, in fact more than OK in spells. I'm still not really sure how we failed to beat WHU last weekend.
Nah…not for me. No ‘must win’ with 20 games left and the league so tight.

I hope ffs we finally win a game today - partly because NSC will be unbearable for yet another post-match 72hrs if we don’t :facepalm: and partly because this will be my first home attendance I have managed to get to since October and will be my last for a while, so I am stoked to be going anyway but a win will be the cream.

My first game this season that I've been able to get out the house early enough for some pre match drinking.
Should we win I will need support in convincing the missus that she has to let me out several hours early for the next game.
