Not 'must win' at all, but a win will be a massive boost.

Hereford was a 'must win game' first home of a new season game against Derby are you insane?

All I can say is that I'm looking forward to this game a lot, and the anticipation has even been a little heightened by some NSCers' rational and irrational fears about the current state of the club. This is why I love the days leading up to the game - nobody knows what's going to happen, everybody cares about what's going to happen - we've got it all to look forward to. Roll on Saturday afternoon....

I've got a season long bet with a Leeds supporter and a Burnley supporter who I work with.
I'm copping a bit of stick at the moment, it took Gus 3 years to get us to where we are now, so I think OG deserves more than 2 games.

Palace lost their first 3 games last year. It was only after the transfer window closed - just after they'd signed Bolasie - that they got going. So no, it's not must win on Saturday. Although it'd be nice.

That actually made me laugh out loud, which alerted my colleagues to the fact that I probably wasn't doing what I'm paid to do.
My manager is a Derby fan living in Brighton - this is a 'must-win' game as far as I'm concerned!

can't believe this is being taken seriously, when I read....
I just took it in the same token as "where we all drinkin?" when someone suggests we're gonna win the Champions League in 2017

No............but a loss is going to result in all kinds of hand-wringing. So a not-lose game I would say, rather than a must-win

Every game is a "must win".

It's definitely a game of two halves.

I genuinely think the whole transfer window business is frustrating and bad for the game. It feels like a phoney war at the moment and because the season started so early that period is longer than normal. I'm sure our friends up the road had a shocking start to last season, stuffed by Bristol City if I remember rightly, then they got some players in at the end of Aug, and it transformed their season (were Jedinak, Bolasie in that group? I wasn't really paying attention).
So to answer the OP no I don't think it's must win but hope we do. I am sure the club are looking to bring in 1 or 2 full backs, plus more, but I can't see much happening this side of 2/9 and until we know the full make up of our squad for the first half of the season it's difficult to predict anything.

Accept anything less and you're a defeatist.

Sorry I just noticed that nwgull already said exactly this but much more succinctly

It's still too early for a "must-win' game. However, the honeymoon period for Oscar will almost be over and the Birmingham away match would create more pressure for him.

Seeing as the decision to sack Poyet is looking like a stupid one, at the moment, i'd say that for OG's case this IS a must win game. Another home defeat and I think people will start to turn on him.
