...and I don't want anyone saying...." a draw would be a decent result "
We simply must win. Nothing else will do.
We have not played at home for 5 weeks and fans have almost forgotten what it is like to sit and suffer at Withdean. We have gleaned 7 points from 3 away games ( a good return ) and performed creditably at Villa Park.
Now, it is almost like starting the season again, at home and we have to put our appalling record over the first 12 home games behind us. We have to be convinced that we can beat decent teams at home. The next two up after, tomorrow, Huddersfield and Norwich will be stern tests and a win against Millwall will increase confidence levels.
We also need a minimum of 4 points from the next two games to give us a small buffer before the ' run of death ' starts all over again. After Orient, we face Huddersfield, Norwich, Leeds, Charlton, Colchester and Swindon, in 6 of the next 7 games. In the reverse fixtures earlier in the season, we achieved nothing..no points!!!...nil points....zip...zero...zilch.
In recent seasons, we have a good home record v Millwall and I am hoping that this continues tomorrow.
