But there is no they to do that as they are all on the right. The CM is looking for a square pass and the only threat is the guy behind Da Silva. He can be 5 yards closer to his man and still cover the centre, but he’s ball watching and has little idea where his man is…

I think he knows exactly where his man is, which is worrying, you’d think by now he’d of worked out they’re just gonna knock balls in behind him, but He’s not even ready to do anything about it either,

Taking my disabled nephew up today and he wants to go around to see the players arriving…he’s mega excited. Then realised I’ve got no idea where they arrive. I only usually need to worry about where’s my beer and where’s the nearest toilet. Does anyone know? I’m told they arrive 90 mins before KO.

Think it’s nearer one and wander up and see where the crowd is
It was always the main entrance to the arena but is the other side now by the shop!

None of this take a draw shit. We need a bigger points gap as that GD is doing fuck all for us. Win today and it won’t cost as much when we lose on Monday.

Have to win. Simple as that . Draw is no good. Millwall are threat with their form and run in.

Players who need injections to play just pump them and get them out. They can sort themselves out in pre season.

I don't think many are advocating a draw. A draw just still leaves us in the top 6, whatever the other results around us are, so it just wouldn't hurt us so much.

Obviously we all want a win. I would be so much more confident if we had Thomas and Dovin etc.

The defence is beginning to look weak at the moment.

If it's a draw today I wouldn't be too disheartened at all.

It most certainly isn't a must win.

Agree, this is probably the hardest game left, point hurts West Brom more than us, but with that atmosphere today can only see a win

I agree about whether or not we'd be happy with a draw - It does feel like a must win today, and I think we will, a draw doesn't do us any favours at all. We have to assume Boro will beat Plymouth, I fancy Bristol to get something from their game too.

The next 2 games are both away to a team that potentially will be relegated with a defeat, they will both be fighting tooth and nail to survive.

3 points and nothing less will do today, simple as.

Either way it's Cov. We won't do it easy. Plenty of twists and turns left. If we win today, we'll probably go on and lose the next one!

Can see it coming down to the final game vs Boro regardless

By winning we take WBA out of the race pretty much.

Everyone in or near the corner, big performance needed today. Don't let songs finish after one go around, don't wait for the drummer if it's quiet - start something yourself. Don't stop singing because it's getting quiet in your row. Be the tw*t who keeps going until people join in again. #PUSB

A stumbled over the line draw against a play off rival was a vital part of qualifying for the play offs in 23.

I agree todays game is a must win game. But for WBA and not us. If they lose today they will be 6 points behind us with 3 games to go. Draw and they are still 3 points behind us with 3 games to go. If we draw we're still in the top 6.

Today's game is a no lose game. Then we still have it all in our own hands.

It's annoying some because they declared Dasilva as "shite, "f*cking shit", "awful" and "a mediocre league one player at best," "useless" and "I wouldn’t let Dasilva be anywhere near the team again", so it must irk them greatly when he DOES play well.

When you are so certain, so sure and have made such an utter and conclusive statement of how bad he is, it must be a little embarrassing when he shows that he can play well.

I have been critical of Dasilva myself at times, but I have always said that there's a player in there.

He has worried me greatly at times with his positioning and defending, but at the moment he is way ahead of Bidwell on merit and long may it continue.

I would love nothing more than Dasilva proving that he does have worth on a consistent basis

He's playing very well at the moment.

Some though, will just not say it, because of previous sweeping statements of conclusion.

I’ve got nothing against JDS , but I really believe he has to be taken out of the team when there is a physical mis match on his side .. which unfortunately is a lot of the season . First area for strengthening in the summer for me

They are a physical side so it's a change to Bidwell for me JDS was not even covering the post when that shot deflected he was square on awful defending.

We are in a pretty good position today, because we know a draw guarantees we remain in the top 6 going into Monday.

It's not a must win. Just a must not lose and that's a much better scenario to be in than those around us
Click to expand...
I think a must not lose is a much worse position to be in mentally than a must win. It allows the players to drop into a negative defensive mindset.

It’s a must with for West Brom so they will be at us all game.

Luckily Lampard seems like an excellent man manager so will hopefully have them all in the right headspace. Wish he could have a word with me too cos I’m bricking it.

JDS is playing well, Bidwell has been the worse player on the pitch in the recent games he has played.
So let’s put him back in!! ffs

Don’t believe so, think we were still in that weird phase where Lampard still preferred Collins and Bassette

No, was 4231. No Wright and Bassette up front. Frustrating watch that was.
