[Albion] Would you take a one goal defeat at Roma?

[Bozza]

A narrow defeat and second leg glory?

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

Does a one goal defeat guarantee second leg glory then?!

 

[Baldseagull]

No. I mean I will if I have to, it ain't the end of the dream, but I want to win.

 

[KZNSeagull]

No, too much negativity going on. We will WIN 3-1

 

[Driver8]

Nobody who has ever seen an Italian team defend a one goal lead would vote for that! We wouldn’t score in three home games!!

 

[WATFORD zero]

No.

We all know that if we're good, we are very very good.

If we're not, we're frustrating

 

[US Seagull]

I originally read that as:

Would you take a one goal defeat of Roma?​

In which case, yes. Absolutely.

 

[Simster]

I suppose I would, especially if it was 3-2 or something, this proving we could actually score in the home leg. I'd be less confident if this finished 1-0 tomorrow.

 

[Acker79]

Part of me thinks a 1 goal loss would be better than a 1-0 win. A team that approaches the second leg knowing they have to win come in hungry and put more effort. A team defending a lead will sit back, and then when they concede have to change their approach and struggle to take back momentum and end up losing overall. And coming back from 1 goal down isn't too much of a mountain.

 

[The Grockle]

We will win 1-3

I mentioned on another thread that in all but one game under RDZ (6-1 Villa defeat) we have followed a loss where we've conceded 3 or more goals with a convincing victory.

8 of the 9 Games where we've conceded 3 or more goals we have followed up with a win, more often convincingly.

 

[MJsGhost]

I think our better chance of a result is away, so no.

 

[Rdodge30]

Definitely want to see us attack early - strongest possible first half forwards

1-0 and they defend deep and that has been fatal for us recently.

No good bringing Enciso on in the second half if we are 1-0 down and they are choking the penalty area. Start strong

 

[WATFORD zero]

I think this is the game where Danny will be magnificent without a single shot on goal. Goodnight, Adingra and Ansu will be frightening

Less frightening than Solly, Joao and Karou, bit frightening enough

 

[Justice]

I would definitely take it if Steele is in goal.

 

[Seagull Stew]

I suppose I would, especially if it was 3-2 or something, this proving we could actually score in the home leg. I'd be less confident if this finished 1-0 tomorrow.

Are away goals still counting?

 

[essbee1]

I think big Evan will come good tomorrow. Hat-trick. It's the way football goes, isn't it?

 

[Easy 10]

Are away goals still counting?

Nope.

 

[Bodian]

I would definitely take it if Steele is in goal.

Don't think he will be - hasn't he been in goal for the last two games. On the rotation principle it will be Bart.

 

[GT49er]

Don't know.


Let me think about it ............................ no, don't know!

 

[BadFish]

Don't know.


Let me think about it ............................ no, don't know!

You really couldn't have summed up my feelings better. Our form v our potential means I have got no idea. Lucky I ain't the manager... My heads gone.
