[Albion] West Ham tomorrow - no f**king about!

[Dorset Seagull]

Must win game! Seen 2 quotes tonight from manger/player saying it’s a must not lose game. Looks like we are already playing for a point!

 

[Hampster Gull]

Wozza has nailed it, we will win this

 

[Pevenseagull]

Seriously now, this is a nailed-on MUST-WIN match.

We can’t afford to drop points and think we’re gonna make up for it with wins against Spurs, Man U and/or Liverpool in the last few games. Ain’t gonna happen!

We need three points NOW.

The survival of our club isn't at stake, but we’ve worked ruddy hard to get into the Premier League - so let’s f**ing stay there!

If we’re gonna avoid relegation, we need to treat every home match like it’s the ‘97 run-in.

This is Leyton Orient, this is Barnet, this is f*cking Doncaster Rovers!


You want a cup run?

THIS is a f**king cup final!


If we’re drawing with 5min to go I want to see Ryan sent up for a corner.

In fact, I want to see CH sub on Krull and send HIM up for the corner.

I want to see players collapsed with exhaustion on the final whistle, whatever the result.

We need 100% effort. One hundred and ruddy TEN percent effort.



No f**king about - from the players or fans.

3 points and nothing less.

COME ON!!!

**** the platitudes

Tell it like it is

Saw the interview earlier and thought the same. Bloody hope not. It’s a game we’ve got to have a real go at getting 3 points. All the pre match talk about how good the opposition are and how difficult it is in this division hardly installs confidence in the team going out there to play.
When we were in the championship we set our sights on a playoff spot for the first few seasons. It was almost as if it was job done simply making the playoffs. When we realised we were good enough for the top 2, the mind set changed, we missed out on goal difference one season and went up the following year. Our mentality needs to change and we need to believe that we can compete at this level. From what I’ve seen this season we are more than capable of staying up.

Spot on, it’s all about belief. I think we play with too much fear. It’s not necessarily about attacking all the time but it’s about the confidence of knowing you are at least as good as the opposition and deserve to be where you are. We are at home, we should expect to win and not play with a fear of losing. Ok a draw is not the end of the world and neither is a defeat but a win breeds confidence and confidence produces more wins. It’s a mental battle as much as it is an ability battle and we need to believe.

I'd have to be convinced of the merits of lunchtime drinking whilst undertaking electrical work.

Even more so when that electrical work was in my house!

After a pint or two, you should be a little more relaxed, and consequently, you're less likely to suffer a heart attack when you give yourself a shock.



I may have made that up.

 

[neilbard]

And that, my friends, is why you shouldn't pop down the pub on Friday lunchtime for "a quick pint".

Ginger beer?

 

[Bwian]

That's because it was Wozza, not Bozza.

In response to Triggaar's comment to Bozza dear boy...

Send this man into the dressing room at 14:45 to deliver the teamtalk!
Great words Gaffer

Not sure the players would respond to 97 quotes, just offer them more money for a win?

 

[Wellesley]

Ginger beer?

No he's not. It's just the way he walks.

 

[Triggaaar]

Must win?

Ok, I've put some thought into this (best part of 3 minutes).
After 25 games: Bottom half teams are on 23, 24, 26 & 27 points (bar West Brom). 24 avoiding drop.
At the end of the season, we'll need about 38 or 39 points (possibly less if we're lucky). Let's say 38, so 14 more points.

That's 3 wins and 5 draws, or 4 wins and 2 draws.

From 5 games against top 6, 8 games against the rest.

Oops, I had a senior moment when working out the target and briefly dreamt there were 40 games in a season (despite working out that having played 25 we only have 13 left ). I think we need 36 or 37 points, so 12 or more than we have.

That's 3 wins and 3 or 4 draws, or 2 wins and 6 or 7 draws.

I feel like we've just got 2 extra points and it's not even midday!

 

[Brighton Mod]

If we go one up, be ready for siege mentallity and defence, its been the same all season and its not going to change. If we go one down, well, there is no plan B.

 

[Ernest]

I think we need a 8-2-0 formation just to be safe

Ryan
BURNO. Greyhound. Dunk. Duffy. Goldson. Hunemeir. Bong. Suttner.
Propper. Stephens.

 

[Withdean and I]

Mathematically of course not a must win game today.
But realistically it is to give us a chance of avoiding relegation.
Need team and crowd firing on all cylinders today!!!!!

Ok, so if we draw SSN won't put an R next to our name today. Ok, that's a good start.

But realistically it is to give us a chance of avoiding relegation.

So if we draw today, we have no realistic chance of survival? Er, that's not right is it. How much chance (probability) are you talking exactly?

It's easy with hindsight....... but it looked to me as if we could have finished with 6 or 7 if only the luck had been with us.

I can only agree with you, however once we went one up did you notice that we sat back, five across the back and they scored. Best thing that happened to us yestereday was that West Ham scored, that said I thought they were truly poor.
