I can just see the smiles leaving the stadium after a 0-0 draw with Burnley!
Considering the 2 games after, a draw is not acceptable.
You hit it bang on, mate.
In all honesty, we HAVE to get 3 points on Saturday. If we have one of our monumental cock-up days, and come out with nothing, or even a draw, considering the following two games, away at City and Fulham (within 5 days!) it probably won’t be enough.
And then looking at the remaining games, you would then put paramount importance on beating Portsmouth and Hull. But if we can’t beat Burnley, why should we beat them? There’s West Ham away, but you can just see them beating us. And out of the other teams, Arsenal, and Chelsea, you really cannot see anything from those games.
In my opinion, never has it been so important that we win a home game (V Burnley) since the day we got promoted to the Premiership. Make no mistake about that. Slip up here, and it will get that way where we are relying on other teams to slip up. There are, realistically, NINE points within our grasp. Take them, we should be fine. But there is no margin for error, now.
