If we don’t win, then ...
A must win game occurs at the end of the season if you're two or three points behind 17th with one match to play, or five behind with two to play. This is not a must win game. Nonetheless, three points would be very welcome.
If we were to finish the season on 34 points (what we've got now) we'd have about a 50% chance that there would still be three teams below us. A win today would increase that chance to about 90%, so it would calm the nerves; nerves will start to jangle a bit if we lose (or mine will anyway), but losing today won't automatically see us relegated.

It is a must win match for those who'd prefer a stress free run-in to the end of the season. A loss will ferment those with the woe is me masochistic tendencies. And a draw wouldn't be the end of the world.

Not seen such Bravery!
And even a defeat could be enough with none of West Brom, Stoke or Southampton reaching 34 points.

Pretty much this. But (not quite) everyone saying we will go down if we lost today. Well we might be outsiders in the remaining games i individually, but i bet if you placed an accy with Man U, Pool, Palace... all out remaining game to win you would get some long odds, granted not on each game. I might place that bet and see. I think even a defeat today the bookies wouldnt have us in the bottom 3. There's still points there outside of today if it goes tits up and will be a nail biter at Palace with the doom mongers out in full force

I'm taking the view that if we can't beat Huddersfield at home, we don't really deserve to be in the Premier League. This is better for my blood pressure.

I think the title sums up following the Albion by the band with Chesney Hawkes dad in it (random I know) I hope for a win but a draw may be good enough. Not a must win but maybe a must not lose...
