Fair point. I suppose it comes down to definition of 'must'. I uess 'must-win' is short for 'must win if we are going to get enough to points to reach the milestone I have in mind' in this case 6th place. So there are 'must-win' games, but this isn't one of them.Surely it isn't true that no game is ever "must win"? There will come a point where if you don't win you won't get enough points to get what you're aiming for, regardless of how badly those teams around you perform.
Shocked they've only sold 1000 they normally sell about 1500 I'm sureMatchday Guide says they are expecting 27,500 which with a small away support is bloody good.
How many games did we win under Robins, whilst playing at best average? Some of the results in that Play Off run in '23 perhaps, but
not many over the years. As soon as our levels were down, and we faced a defensive, physical side (especially at home) we inevitably lost.
Yes, tomorrow's game definitely isn't "must win", nor are the next few games, but the play-offs will disappear over the horizon if we don't keep winning on a regular basis.Fair point.

Where is he? I couldn't see it eitherLati just sneaking into ‘Complete defensive unit’!
Can’t see Thomas on there, unless I’m being blind edit: just found him hidden away

We were quite a turgid hard to beat side when we won league 1 with very few amazing performances , but relied heavily on being organised , if memory serves me well
I tend to feel quite light-headed and euphoric.I’ve got this feeling that we’re gonna thump them.
May feel different after I’ve been toilet.
And lighter by a few pounds?I tend to feel quite light-headed and euphoric.
At least. A weight off my mind, you might say.And lighter by a few pounds?
Hiding behind a Burnley badge I think bizzare, also got Doyle as dodgy in the air and on the ground.No Thomas
Sadly no longer there!! I heard it burnt down a few years ago!! Had many a great Wednesday night in there when I was at uni in Preston. Tokes on a Wednesday (severe hangover for French existentialist thought and literature on a Thursday morning), and The Warehouse on a Saturday…those were the days!!Hope we slap 'em all the way back to Tokyo Joe's.

Torp doesn't sound like he's considered from this morning's interview unless it's a misdirection.I think we’ll win and with a good performance to boot. Confidence and momentum are still on our side and with that rumoured strong bench we are in a great position to change the game if needed, especially offensively.
Not sure he’ll go to his preferred 4 ATB yet, but either way I’d like Grimes as a 6 with Rudoni/Torp as 8’s; that’s a lot of creativity and technical ability through our middle.
If we do revert to a lone striker it has to be Simms and we have to ensure he doesn’t get isolated. We made it work last year with Wright one side and Sakamoto/a variety of players post injury last year, so no reason we can’t again.
Start on the front foot, score early and I think we’ll put this stupid hoodoo to bed.
3-1.
Good news to get some injured players back...Sheaf and Haji would be a welcome sight on the bench.Sounds like sheaf definitely on the bench maybe haji
I’m in block 11 , great view and atmosphere when we turn up .. enjoyWelcome to the block 11 massive
Wright far from definite but it would be a pleasant surprise id be surprised though if sheaf wasn’t on the bench from what fl saidWell if Wright is back in the squad today and with all the talk of a Patterson debut we must be starting 433 otherwise a bench of Wright EMC Patterson Sakamoto feels a little wrong as although we could substitute to change shape we then would have subs available for the subs but if EMC and Sakamoto start makes a little more sense
With the program and press conference, expect Paterson to start.
As such expect him to replace tats on the right wing, with the expectation he cuts in to form the 3-2-5.

Fans need to be up for this and get behind the team.
Pretty much my thoughts for the day too. Question over Allen or Eccles to start. And Bassette or Wright on the benchI don't think Haji will even be on the bench today but Sheaf will replace Raphael. Torp is still sidelined.
I think we will play 4-3--3 from the start.
Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitch Bidwell
Eccles Grimes Rudoni
Saka Simms EMC
Bench
Collins
Lati, DaSilva, Binks,
Allen, Sheaf, Paterson
BTA, Bassette
Once Haji is fit for a 10 min cameo he will replace Bassette on the bench.
