Town win today on 10:16 - Mar 2 with 2485 views | BlueBadger | At this point, a win is essentially us making the chairs on the deck of the Titanic look tidier. Our 'must wins' were back in November through early January when we were playing vulnerable looking QPR, Bristol City, Reading, Preston, Wigan and Millwall. We managed exactly one win from those games. | |

Spot on. I see some people are saying that this is the most important game for years. Unfortunately it is now too late for that to be the case. | | | |

Agreed. Even with a win today we'll need to make up at least 6 points over the last 11 games of the season. It just isn't happening. I'm actually struggling to get myself psyched up to go today but I'm sure I'll be there. | |

With your attitude you might as well stay at home. | | | |

I agree to an extent but I can’t hear the fat lady singing and until it’s official let’s just keep going it could help install some confidence in the team going foward. | | | |

She might not have sung yet but she's been clearing her throat and practicing her scales since December. | |

That was me. Don't get me wrong, we've got little to no hope of doing it but this feels like the last chance. It's important to remember that Millwall should be down here but for 3 wins out of 4 in October and 3 in 3 they got around Christmas. And both times we helped them in those mini-runs. But the rest of the time they've been as bad as us. So it's not impossible to get results from an otherwise bad team. I'm not saying we are going to do it but if the boost from winning this game could be critical to finally putting some results together. | |

Yeah, I'm in the "you never know ... " camp if we win today, although I do think that Garner goal has probably done for us. We would then need to back the result up. West Brom's fans will be very jittery next week (although history does show we are the team that tend to put that right for a while) and if we can go into that on the back of a win and four games unbeaten then ... well ... I've seen far stranger things. | |

Maybe so but I bloody hope you're right today, grinners! We still have a few hours of hope left- let's enjoy them together, as one. | |

We've seen nothing from this squad really in terms of unlikely or lucky results apart from one match, Swansea away, where we really should have been battered. And we're not good enough or clinical enough to get what our performances deserve even when those improve. But ... that completely changes when you scramble a couple of results, and some momentum and confidence come back. We've surely seen enough (too much!) of the Championship by now to know that. So, we shouldn't write off things we've already seen with our own eyes. Especially when the positivity around the team has been excellent these past weeks and is the only way we can help now. Without that we'd definitely be down already. | |

Yep. Seen enough teams find an extra gear or two in the run-in when all seems lost. Strange things can and do happen. With a bit of momentum we just don't know what our current lot can do. Absolutely clear though that today is our last chance to even think about this. | |

Town win today on 11:35 - Mar 2 with 2238 views | floridaboy | I still have this faint hope that we get out of the bottom three and stay up and our dear friends up the road blow promotion. Which would shut them up and hopefully Look East and About Anglia as well. Until it is mathematically impossible surely we still have to have hope and pray for a miracle!! | | | |

I would be absolutely delighted if you are right. For me the thing that has finally put the nail in the coffin are the injuries. Losing young Lancaster when he was showing promise was a blow and then to top it off Keane starts to show some real form and does his hamstring. Just seems like that everything that could go wrong has gone wrong this season. Knowing our luck even if by some miracle we did put a winning run together one of the other teams would start finding some form. Having said that I will still be there cheering the lads on today and next week at West Brom. | | | |
Town win today on 12:33 - Mar 2 with 2130 views | Trequartista | It's not a must win game because a) we've already had about 5 must win games that we didn't win and b) when we don't win, there will still be talk of the possibility of staying up. | |

Is there a limit on how many must win games are allowed per season? | |

If you have more than 10 you can't use the smaller checkouts. | |

Yep. This is a ‘wouldn’t it be nice to get a win and have a good day out’ win. | |

If it was a must-win and we didn't win it, then it means we can no longer stay up, but then hey presto another must-win comes along rendering the original must-win fake. So after several fake must-win games, i'm calling this one fake as well, because when we don't win it, the manager will still be claiming we can stay up. | |
