We need to be right behind the boys from the off…. Loud and Proud. Hoping the atmosphere is not too tense given that we are standing at the cliff face.

Must Win.

Nervy 2-1 Oxford. Hopes remain alive… just.

COYY’s
 
The time for introspection is done. No negativity from me today. If I hear a song in the East Stand I’ll join it. Let’s be the ones who go first today and not wait for them out on the pitch. Any time you see one of our lads put a shift in make sure you give them a shout. This is not impossible. Let’s f*****g do it.
 
So here we are already, 28th Feb and if we lose it’s surely season over. We have to get everything right today. No misplaced passes, no giving away cheap possession, accurate set piece delivery.
We CAN do this.
I feel a little bit sick.
 
I don’t feel any trepidation for today’s game.

At this point, my expectations are so low that even a single honed and deliberately created chance would see them beaten.

Still, it’ll be great to be with family and friends in the hope that we experience something better.
 
Are we all gassed out? That is the question here.
Are the players just going to roll over and give it up?
If they are done with it then surely that is that.

As much as I would love for us to pile forward and give it a proper go, that is not likely to happen.
Anything other than a win is relegation so let’s get behind them.
 
Not at all optimistic but hopeful 2-1 prediction from me…MB, Players and Fans have all got to be on it and work together today.

Not really sure I want to think about what happens if it’s a lacklustre loss…
 
Big shop done and a hearty breakfast devoured.

I go in to today without any real trepidation because because there is clarity. We simply have to win.

I know that mathematically that's not the case, but realistically we need to beat these today, Blackburn in the week and then Charlton to give ourselves even a sniff.

Hopefully the clarity is freeing for the players, and much as hope to see us get on the front foot and put them under pressure from the start, I worry we'll go in with the mindset of trying not to lose it in the first hour, and then trying to win it in the last 30.

Either way I'll be singing loud and proud, up the f*****g Ox.

They already did that against Norwich.

At this point we may as well just go all out attack, if we get a spanking then so be it but let’s go all out and actually try and score a goal.
 
I'm sooo scared about this one, I can barely think about it at the moment. God knows what it will be like when I'm actually there.

Thank goodness we have the positive stadium news to fall back on regardless.
 
We are going to score in a minute ,score in a minute ,we're going to score in minute .How many minutes has it been at home. The lads huffed and puffed Wednesday great effort from the players. But I think this is it now or never hope to see some sort of Style ,we seem to have lost the press ,we are certainly out of our depth i think the defensive performances have been excellent considering the lack in midfield which puts us under pressure every game. I hope iam wrong but it's been horrible week in week out but hopefully we are building a team for next season that will be ready not like this season ti start on the front foot .We need a lot of work on the midfield preseason because I think BDK is definitely off. Can only see today being a bad result fir us.2-1 To West Brom. I hope iam wrong
