Must win Tonight?

Tue Aug 13, 2024 4:36 pm

Not trying to be a drama queen
But this game feels more important than it should for momentum, togetherness and seeing if the manager has a plan B.

Lots of frustrated fans going into the season with other fans hyped up over signings that won't be ready for a month. A mixed fan base as usual lol.

For me, passing is good but a bit of direct stuff to flavour it up and keep teams guessing is so important.

Goals win games.

Fingers crossed but it feels divided right now. Start of another long season or just bedding in stuff. (Load of hard games coming up too).
Anyone feeling the same????

No, it’s not must win. That is a very dramatic way of looking at it.

I want us to win and expect us to but it won’t be the first choice team.

Burnley and Swansea are the big games, even at this extremely early stage.

I wouldn’t describe Burnley as must win or must not lose. But I think those who weren’t happy on Saturday will hope to see more of what they’re looking for.

Swansea is a bit different because it’s a derby, fans want that win.


But there are very few games at this stage of the season that can be described as must win.

It’s August and it’s the Carabao Cup, we have played one game.

I wouldn't say it was a must win game.

What I would say is that it's a "must give game time to younger players/newer signings" game.

Burnley is a game I don't think we will get anything from, the JBs are the one for me that is the closest to a must win, but even that isn't.

I understand that there are some people that are unhappy with the style of football, that is their opinion and they are entitled to it. Its those who make out we are doomed after one game that I find it hard to take seriously.

Yes, must win a bit over the top.
But seeds get sown early and many are still
waiting to get behind Bulut.
We lose a lot at home and don't put teams to
the sword, lots frustrated and that STs are drifting away.

A run of games is needed to grow some belief

I'm in Turkey now, with Fenerbache fans.
They say he's intelligent but fenerbache too
demanding to wait for his stamp....
Same fans here expect Qtr final champs league (the chosen one there now!) but are struggling v lille right now in qualifier.

Fans ehh!!!

Sounds familiar lol!!!

I honestly think we'll win tonight, particularly if Erol has the team set up positively

I wonder how everyone will feel after the jacks game when we have zero points and no goals scored . ??
I have no faith in them tbh
