Its a "must win" for me, got a Burnley supporting friend who will dine out on it forever if they win.
Why? It would be like us bragging about beating lower league opposition like Oxford City or Swindon Town. They’re expected to win.
I sense our first home home defeat of the season. At full strength with CamBran and McEachran involved, I think we’d give them a game but we’re playing a second string midfield against a side I think we all expect to be finishing no lower than second this year.
Perhaps Sibley can be the one to step in or Vaulks can step up from his fairly ordinary start with us. As it is, if we came out of the game with a point, I would not be disappointed.

I think when you’ve already won over half of your games in the season so far (and arguably deserved a draw in the only losses), and are 1-0 up at half time against a side who have lost their last two games 3-0 (and have only won once all season), and you’ve already hit the bar, and then miss a great chance to go 2-0 up… well, you can be excused for thinking you might win? I know football doesn’t always work like that, but there is some context for that thinking.Most of us are back to feeling like the underdogs again by the looks. Good. The expectation that we would almost certainly win against Bristol City from so many was ridiculous. There are no easy games at this level and we will need to be on it every single week to secure points. The slipped (at least from the fans) last weekend.
Looking forward to this one. Real test of our home form, prep work, and squad depth.

Er, so is PortsmouthLosing and Coventry and Bristol are doubly annoying because two points there would cover games like this where we might only get a point. As it is, a win would be incredible, I’d definitely take a draw and a loss would put a lot more pressure on the upcoming Portsmouth game, because Luton away is likely to be tough…
