We’ll lose to Watford

Thing i detest about going into this game is you know they will fold. There is a possibility of winning this if there was nothing riding on it. But because this will be a huge pressure game. They'll fold. Almost guarenteed.

Palace and Spurs wins tonight are absolutely essential.

I'd take a Palace draw to be fair. They've not won a game for ages, and we will have 3 games in hand on them after tonight. They absolutely could get dragged into this.

As long as none of Leeds, Burnley or Watford win. Ideally they all lose, but draws aren't the end of the world.

No they’re not but every point counts, and we can’t draw games, we win rarely and then lose all the rest.

It’s in our best interests that the teams below us pick up as few points as possible though. We need to keep them as far out of reach as possible, especially about to start a losing sequence ourselves.

Imagine both Burnley and Watford win.

That’s me on the second middle row surrounded by all the Moshiri fans who want a big day out at Wembley for the playoff final.

I see your point, we need to keep ahead of them below us. The worry is if these teams get a roll on and pick up a few wins, they would get ahead of us. But the same could be said for Leeds, Brentford and Palace. We are close enough to leapfrog them at the moment, but not if they start picking up wins. A draw dosen't really help Palace or Watford, but a win would be huge for either.
