Its 100% a must win game. Its the very epitome of a must win game. Its the most must win game of the season!!!
Win it and we can turn a corner, lose it and we are in a nose dive.

Lose to an injury plagued Oxford and the slide to 7th place becomes a reality.
And weve got an in form Middlesbrough comming up!

Agree 100%, absolutely critical we win this one, just to set us up for next Monday if nothing else.

If Min doesn't start today I'll be beginning to think our promise to him and Spurs of more minutes wasn't overly genuine

EMC will start with his foot in a plaster cast before Min gets a look in.

If not we might see Julian Gray get a run out.
Either way Min won't get a start.

Shitty weather & no doubt a little cold out so crowd won’t exactly be in best place prior to kick off. Team need to come out blocks quickly and intent and look to rebuild some continuity and confidence which in turn will lift everyone and hopefully the noise too.

Massive performance needed to put stake in the ground to show Boro what they’re walking into, both this and Boro must wins!

No chance he’ll drop Grimes, he’s very much Lampards man, and as long as isn’t playing has a third CB and has remembered how to pass, he’s incredibly influential to how we play.

Interesting who comes in for EMC; Sakamoto is left footed but I still believe him and MVE on form is one of the best combos in the league, so we detract from that. Equally Esse is the overall better play, so do we want him out of position?

Either way I hope YMH gets substantial game time today, on paper it’s perfect for him.

Not convinced he’ll drop Kitching either. If so, why all the calls for Wolf? Lati was a more than able deputy only a few games ago and I don’t think Wolf has the advantage of being left footed?

We have to win today.

Seems the Lampard way same as he did with MVE instead of playing KKH.

He won his last two home games playing his favoured formation, like he's won most this season. Why on earth would you change it?

I was adamant it needed a change after QPR..etc..

Its Home. We have to be strong and yes i agree...we dont need to change too much at home!

Keep our nerve , keep the faith. Its not gonna be easy today. Just hope players havnt lost too much confidence. Play high intensity high tempo for 95 plus minutes.! Plenty of options on bench to bring on fresh players.

This is absolutely a must win and so is the next game.

Win both and I think we go on and do the business.

Any news if Onyeka Mrs gone into labour?!?
Clearly more important than football, but will be gutted if he can’t play - we need a fresh spark

It's not a game which we need to change a lot or anything on really. All out attack and try and outscore like we've been doing all season. It's not a game for tactical changes or 10 men behind the ball is it.

I'd give this a go, I think we have to keep the faith in the defence, get a result today build confidence and move on from the bad patch. A good mix of creativity in attack, hopefully Frank will bring some stability in the middle to allow them to express themselves without leaving us exposed. Decent changes at 60 mins to put the game to bed, or at least that's what I'm hoping.

Still struggling to see beyond a draw today - Add to that the tank throws a track and gets sent off on debut.

Onyeka will play if available.

Absolutely nuts otherwise. And hello from Planet KT-159B



A win would be fabulous, but it's not a must win. Not in terms of it being disastrous if we don't.

The only thing disastrous would be a defeat. We can draw today and pull further away. Everyone realises that, right?

Ipswich have a very tough game, as do Middlesbrough. The Hull one couple prove tricky too, dependent on which Bristol City turn up

Anyway, if we were to draw and the rivals all lose, we would have gained another point over them all, so hardly disastrous.

I just don't think we are at the level of it being a must win. 4 points out of Oxford and Middlesbrough, would be a good return.

Last few games our passing has been dog shit and our ability to gather second balls has also been a shower of shit which has lead to a few goals. Rectify these problems and i can see a comfortable win and hopefully the start to a few bounces of wins

Yeah. Got to be confident of a win here for sure.

Close, but 4-1 (talking about a couple of goals at the death, as Oxford push for an equaliser)

Oxford are 6/1. I thought about throwing a tenner on it just to cheer myself up if we lose, but I slapped myself out of it.

Got to smash these today.
