Barnsley vs Brighton and Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

we need 3 points and nothing less is good enough

A draw puts us 6th with 9 games to play, of which 5 are at home. Let's be rational.

Wish people would stop going on about the Palace game. Tonight's game is the most important, at this moment in time. Palace becomes more important after tonight. When was the last time we played the bottom placed side, twice in a week. Three points is a must tonight, they are bottom for a reason and if we go up there looking for a point, then god help us all...They have lost eight games at home, if we don't take three points tonight, then we don't deserve to finish top six.

Exactly how I feel. If we don't get 3 points tonight, we'll need all 6 from Palace and Forest, so let's make it easier for ourselves.

Would be nice to WIN a game in hand for a change.

Inclined to agree that a draw, while not mathematically catastrophic, just would not feel good enough. 2 points from 9 is nothing like playoff form.

Win please.

I agree with some of this, but I would love to know the last time we went anywhere looking for a point - you may not believe it, but we play every game looking to win it.

Thanks for posting that MacKenzie. After listening to that i feel a lot more confident about us getting a positive result tonight. Flitcroft sounded very edgy. Doesn't seem like he's handling the pressure very well. Wasn't happy with that question about him dropping the fans favourite Hassell.

I simply cannot agree. I know that's what Poyet pipes out, but how can you take that seriously when you don't muster a shot on target in 90 mins, against a team bottom of the table. It simply doesn't stack up.

Yes, that was a really odd response. Obviously a sore subject, it also sounded like they were missing a few defenders tonight which helps us.

Just need the team to perform now I guess.

You obviously weren't at the Bristol City game. In my view, lack of 2nd half subbs etc. City having won previous 4 at home - Gus was looking not to lose - ie was looking for a point and not 3.

EVERY game is important now until a play-off spot is either sealed or out of reach, it's as simple as that.

We really ought to come away from this with a win, but I'm not sure based on our form away from home. Null points would be a disaster, a draw would be disappointing but an OK result, a win is what we could really do with though.

Think we will win this one but agree a draw is ok..Surprisingly our away form this season (6th best) is better than our home form (11th best).
Admittedly our last two away games have been poor performance, ok result followed by good performance, bad result.

It could be argued (and has been ad nauseum) our caution at home is more of a problem than our away results.

The approach has been to be hard to beat home and away....But it is time to go for it at home now.
Win all our home games, Draw all away games and we will be in the play offs.

Here's hoping

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Bet my V Cash on a draw but it's more so I'm not as fed up IF we fail to win. For me with such tough games coming up this one is win or don't make the play-offs! (Doesn't equal failed season though lets make that clear)!!!!!

Oh and who the opposition is is far more relevant than home / away for the next 9 games I feel

win is a must and nothing less is good enough

A team that then beat Middlesborough 2-0, wasn't great to watch but a well earned draw, we then mullered Bolton but lost 0-1.

Before the Bristol game I said we'd get 2 points out of the 3 games. This one will be another draw.

I said I'd bite your hands off if someone offered us four points, despite some daft predictions of 5, 6 or even 7.

Barnsley away is never easy and we will do well to get a point. Two points from the three games will be a point below what I'd have considered par before Bristol City.

But really you are undecided about tonight and you'd be happy with a point, right?

3 points is a must and nothing less is good enough and i dont care what you say back
