No we won't. If anything we'll look back and say we really should have beaten Swansea.

Or we should have beaten ten man Watford or we shouldn`t have lost at Bournemouth after being one nil up or we should have beaten Everton etc etc etc

Well exactly.

The main thrust of my point is that a) it's a pretty futile exercise to think like this and b) if you insist on doing so then for Vicente's sake please do it for the home games.

The only good result in the present situation would be a win. A draw, though, would obviously be better than nothing.

If we hadn't beaten West Ham, then I think this game would have had much greater significance than it has. A draw or a loss last week and I think I'd be thinking of must win.

More must not lose now I think.

I just hope we don't turn up and get bullied, which I can kind of see happening.

Like the last 2 games. A draw then a win good. A win tomorrow would be priceless though

Prefere a win, but any away point is good. I think we should go for the win and not play for the draw.

Exactly! This team must keep pushing forward when having possession. Keeping the ball forward and not allowing the opponent possession is the way to prevent a loss.

But without the Swansea result coming into it, would you take a draw now?

Its very much like last weekend......Once we beat West Ham then it made the point away at Southampton a good point...I was very much in the camp of 8 points from 'The four game season' which would take us to 31 and give us a fighting chance

A point away to SCC is generally a good one, it was just the way we got it - taking the lead and then being forced to defend - that fans didn't like.

I understand if you're saying you'd take 4 points from the next two games, but what if you only had the choice to take 1 point tomorrow - would you?

Of course not....but when the question gets posed 'a draw not good enough' well i'd say yes as of this moment...but its all in context and guessing this and that

I'd be happy with a point (obviously happier with 3). Its a huge game and unfortunately for the viewer I can see Chris battening down the hatches on this one
