[Albion] Southampton at home: would you take a point if offered?

[Bozza]

Grab the point, avoid the banana skin and move onto *checks notes* Fulham?

 

[Brovion]

No. I know it's a banana skin, I know we don't have a good record against clubs near the bottom, but we really have to win this. And I'll settle for a scrappy 1-0 against the run of play win.

Also I'll never hear the end of it from my brother-in-law.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

No, nay, never. However I don’t want this confused with the cringy* “we should be beating teams like Southampton” on the other thread.

*unless of course I’m being whooosed.

I don’t want us to look like this.

 

[Weststander]

No. It'll feel like a huge wasted opportunity, almost a defeat. After the hard fought 3 points through graft/guile against far better opposition.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

No. Would negate two of the excellent three points gained at Bournemouth

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Anyhoo, inspired by the poll options and as I’m a few beers in (I’m dog sitting so it’s a sunny BN10 garden for me) I might stick this on

 

[Crawley Dingo]

i'm reminded of a meme culture trope from the last decade.

I think we have gone further than we should have. So lets keep going and see what happens.

 

[Chicken Run]

I will be really pissed off if we don’t win comfortably tonight, nothing to do with “should be beating teams like these” purely because they are bottom of the league and we are 5th.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

Nope. But ask me again before the Fulham game!

 

[Simster]

No. We really might well end up losing or drawing but this game looks one of the most winnable on paper.

 

[Hotchilidog]

I'll take the point, but I'll be taking it's two mates also

 

[Wrong-Direction]

We need to win to be taken seriously from now on

 

[banjo]

Yes, all 3 please.

 

[birthofanorange]

Not in a month of Sundays would I take a point now, no matter our previous struggles against teams in their position.

 

[Triggaaar]

I will be really pissed off if we don’t win comfortably tonight

I'd happily take a 1-0 or 2-1 now, I don't know how you could be pissed off at 3 points. Liverpool only won by a single goal and I don't imagine they're too pissed at the moment.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

No, nay, never. However I don’t want this confused with the cringy* “we should be beating teams like Southampton” on the other thread.

*unless of course I’m being whooosed.

I don’t want us to look like this.

Whoosh!

Remember when entitled fans used to say that about Brighton?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I would hope we'd always take our chances or else be accused of match fixing.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

Settling for a draw is the sort of thing you do when trying to avoid the drop. I think we can afford to be more ambitious these days.

 

[drew]

Would I take a point? F*** Off.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Whoosh!

I had my suspicions!
