Looking at our upcoming fixtures would a draw tomorrow against a relegation rival not be good enough..?

A win would beneficial, but I'd take a draw if meant we didn't looooooose!

I'll be very happy with four points from the next two games.

A draw certainly would not be the end of the world.

Four points from the next two, any order (I don’t mind I’m going to both) will do very nicely.

It's a hard game, a big powerful team,, not bereft of some skills. I guess I'd take a point, but, of course, 3 would be better. Hoping we don't lose.

If we do end up dropping down a league I think we'll be looking back at a lot of draws we should have won

Anyone got a link to that thread with the table of predictions and graph - which projects a route to 40 points and says how far behind / ahead we actually are? Thanks.

Home draws yes. Not so much the away 1's.

it`s a must not lose game for sure I`d take a draw now for sure as long as we can beat Swansea.
But without the Swansea result coming into it, would you take a draw now?

Deny Stoke making up 3 points on us.
Then beat Swansea.

Prior to kick off, this isn't a game 'we should be winning'. They are strong favourites.

It's not a must-win game. It's one of those where a draw might be a decent outcome providing other results go in our favour over the course of the weekend.
If we could nick a win then it would take a bit of pressure off the Swansea game.

Away from home, big strong team who caused us a lot of problems defensively at home, I'd take a draw, a win would be bloody excellent.

After the West Brom and Chelsea defeats a few weeks ago, many on NSC (myself included) felt that 7-8 points from our end-Jan/Feb fixtures would be an achievable and terrific 4-game haul in our bid for survival, especially given the tough end of season run-in we have to face. With 4 points already bagged against the Stains and Wet Sham, a draw at Stoke would be a great result, especially if followed up with a home win against Swansea. I’ll be very happy with a point tomorrow and ecstatic with a win. This is a key, “mustn’t lose” game for the Albion against a rival struggler and so we may reasonably assume that Stoke will "go for it" and that we’ll defend in droves. I’m really looking forward to this one and, with so much at stake at this stage of the season, I think it could be a potentially eventful encounter. Every game is massive now as we endeavour to inch ourselves away from the drop zone. It’s a different form of excitement from last season, but nail-biting nevertheless. UTA!
