[Albion] THE RUN IN - Europe ?

[Greg Bobkin]

A bold use of the plural.
I wish I had your confidence.

I didn't specify for which team...

 

[hans kraay fan club]

With our away form as it’s been this season and the fixtures coming up, with the possible exception of the Burnley game, I fear we may have just seen our last win of the season full stop!

Yesterday was a massive three points.

I consciously specified 'last home LEAGUE win'. I think we'll win (the game) on Thursday.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Always amazes me every single season. Seems like the season barely gets going until November, constant stop-starts and hardly any games played. Then next thing you know there's only ten games left on the run-in. How does that work?

Crappy international breaks

By 4?

By 4?

I'd honestly take a 1 goal win, 2 wins on the spin and try to build some kind of momentum.

I hope most of us go into Thursday treating it is a one off game we can win, and not just a 2nd leg deficit we have to overcome.

Exactly this.

Although if we get into HT 2-0 up, I will be getting carried away and no-one can stop me

It will depend how the game goes.

If its 0-0 at HT and any thought of the tie is done, we win 1-0 then agree.

But what if its 2-0 at HT, we score 3rd early in 2nd half, push and push but can't get 4th.

Fantastical I know, but the feeling then will be tinged with disappointment, it will feel like tie lost again versus game won, and we'll be harking back to the offside goal in Rome......

I'd still choose the latter option!!

My Sheffield Wednesday memories still seem quite fresh given the amount of time that has lapsed since.

I think fantastical is right, and if that happened, it will have been a great night, us back scoring, and a lot to be excited about.

 

[Mellotron]

AWAY: Liverpool - lose, Brentford - draw, Burnley - win, Bournemouth - win, Newcastle -draw,
HOME: Arsenal - lose, Villa - lose, Chelsea - lose, Man City - lose, Man Utd - draw

9 points left

We are unbeaten at home in 13 games, and much better at home than away this season. I don't see us losing to Villa and Chelsea at ours.

 

[Mellotron]

It would be utterly glorious to go in at half time 2-nil up, even if it ultimately ends in failure. The atmosphere would be unreal.

The last time we had overturn a second leg deficit at home v a giant of European football!!

 

[Scoffers]

Honestly I am not worried about *only* finishing in the top 10, I think the club have learnt a lot this season and will be focussed on having a decent Cup run and finishing in the European places next season. I still have to pinch myself to believe that we're even having this debate!

 

[Hometownglory]

I actually think the atmosphere will be good on Thursday. There is a element of great escape about it. No pressure on us either. If we get an early goal or two the it will get exciting. We are capable of scoring a few goals when we are on it. It's at the other end that worries me. Winning the match will go a long way to building some positive momentum going into the break.

I think we'll lose 5-4 on aggregate.

Great Escape theme from minute one and I've got a feeling we'll take it to pens...

 

[jimhigham]

Well said, Jim. I too am sitting here thanking my lucky stars that I’m not a self-made billionaire.

Well when you put it like that...

Money isn't everything. Imagine the hopes and dreams of the entire Albion supporting family bearing down upon you. Terrifying.

Or Man Utd
