I don’t know mate.

Some were happy to tolerate 13 game winless runs not long ago, so it should be sound.

Yes, under vastly different cicumstances.

 

[Runub]

This should be a very comfortable victory but it probably won’t be. Still expecting a win but I suspect it will be a struggle

 

[davek]

Oh look, Sycophants Assembled.

This is already in the win column. Bagged. Accounted for. A big scoring win. Anything less is unthinkable after Sunday's horror show.

Sunderland will be a better gauge though. And we better had win that.

Yes, under vastly different cicumstances.

Who do we have available tonight who wasn’t available then apart from Grealish and Barry.

We’re also missing our best centre back too.

Imagine if it actually is a big scoring win after all this, your head will fall clean off in here.

He’s sowing the seeds early, so if we do get a big win, he still won’t credit the manager.

Not that he ever would.

Well when we trounced his gaffer twice in a month he ran away from the forum and hid, so I’d expect nothing less.

On topic please. A warning just topped up and triggered a suspension that I mercy lifted. Don't make me regret it...

Weird, I read it the other way. Seeing all manner of excuses and downplaying expectations before games nowadays.

We've had enough of that when we really were crap. We've got some decent attacking players now, and were about to play the worst Premier League team ever. Heaven forfend we show a little optimism and confidence...

That new avengers films poo innit?

I think we piss it if we get the first goal. Especially if an early one.

 

[MikeH72]

I think we’ll win 2-1 but we will be made to work for it as Arsenal and Liverpool were.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Yes, under vastly different circumstances.

Are we marking this as strike two?

I hope wolves are not at the races, but I remember a woeful and relegation bound sheff utd turning up on a streak of poor results and finding a win at goodison well against the odds.
I've been burned so many times the scars are cycling back to healthy flesh...
